Roman Delgado freedom
Donation protected
Román Delgado Lopez was born in Mexico and has lived in the United States since 2003. He has a 15-year old US citizen son and a US citizen wife. He is in the middle of the legal immigration process, his wife Linda having started a "Petition for Alien Relative" for him in 2017.
He is a positive, hardworking, inspiring American (in the sense of "a nation of immigrants") that has helped countless people, including me and Bettina, since he arrived as a very young man. To be around him is to know that everything is possible, with effort. In 2014, Román helped my family with 2 major events: the death of our beloved Aunt Kim, and Bettina and my move to Uruguay. He worked with us for weeks packing and re-packing belongings and moving them across the country. But what Bettina and I remember him for is his enormous capacity for work and for keeping difficult situations positive.
On October 16, 2019, he was stopped for a traffic violation (unclear what it was) in Madison County, Mississippi and the officer found he had an expired license. At court the next day, the judge noted that he had a clean record and let him go.
ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) was waiting right outside the courtroom. They have been holding Roman in the Lasalle Detention Center in Jena, LA ever since.
Thanks to the efforts of Philip Hunter of the Scott Law Firm, Roman has been approved for a $10,000 (correction: %6000) immigration bond. This lets him go home to his family in Houston, TX and continue the immigration proceedings from there. He can go free the same day we collect the money. It will be paid through Gonzalez and Gonzalez Bail Bonds.
If you would like to know more about our personal connections with Roman, I can privately share the letters of support he received (the ones the immigration judge reviewed in order to approve the bond).
This is an opportunity to directly help an immigrant family in very trying times and I hope you consider giving us some of your free cash until his immigration status can be resolved. People like Román have always been the backbone and the future of American society, and I sincerely hope that more of the people I love can have more contact with people like Roman.
Roman is my friend. I will withdraw the funds in my name to my personal account and then pay Roman so he can pay the immigration bond.
