October 27th, 2025 while taking her daughter to school, Jaykie Funez was wrongfully detained by 2 predatory ICE officers in Rockingham County, just north of Harrisonburg, Va. When asked for the reason of the stop, neither officers wanted to provide one. They then asked for her id, work permit, and registration to which she obliged and was immediately accused of forging ids and documents. Then, using their intimidation, they had her step out the car to solo her out and have her recite her social, one she just recently got and hadn’t memorized. So in fear, she took a step back and an officer recklessly lunged at her on the side of an active highway. While trying to reach her daughter, Jaykie was then tackled and slammed to the ground and taken to the local ICE facility then transferred to the county jail, with both officers leaving her underage daughter stranded on the side of the highway alone and distressed.
Not only does Jaykie have the proper documents to be in the United States, but she also is an extremely hard working, god fearing, law abiding woman with 0 criminal record that does anything to care of her two children.
All funds will go towards Jaykie's legal fees and other expenses (like daughters tuition). We appreciate everyone who has taken the time to show support as we fight for her freedom.
Thank you and god bless
