On behalf of Fernando Salazar, we are launching a separate Gofundme for his dog, el Chapo, who has been left behind in the United States in hopes of reuniting him with Fernando.

On Thursday, September 25th, Fernando Salazar, was unlawfully detained by ICE and transferred to a downtown Los Angeles facility. Amidst his precarious medical condition and without a clear timeline of the length of his detention, Fernando signed his own voluntary departure. His health was his main concern, and he was afraid it would deteriorate expeditiously under unjust conditions. Now, his beloved Chapo is left behind.

We are once again asking the community to help us cover the costs to send over Fernando's best friend to Mexico. Fernando is already immensely grateful for all the support he's received - without you we wouldn't be able to alleviate the conditions under which so many of our people are unjustly deported. Thank you!!

De parte de Fernando Salazar, estamos lanzando una campaña de Gofundme para su perro, el Chapo, quien se quedó en Estados Unidos con la esperanza de reunirlo con Fernando.

El jueves 25 de septiembre, Fernando Salazar fue detenido ilegalmente por ICE y trasladado a un centro de detención en el centro de Los Ángeles. En medio de su precaria condición médica y sin un plazo claro sobre la duración de su detención, Fernando firmó su propia salida voluntaria. Su salud era su principal preocupación y temía que se deteriorara rápidamente en condiciones injustas. Ahora, su querido Chapo se ha quedado atrás.

Una vez más, pedimos a la comunidad que nos ayude a cubrir los costos del envío del mejor amigo de Fernando a México. Fernando está inmensamente agradecido por todo el apoyo que ha recibido; sin ustedes, no podríamos aliviar las condiciones en las que tanta gente de nuestra comunidad es deportada injustamente. ¡Gracias!
