On the morning of May 20th, Ruben Mendez Dominguez was arrested by ICE agents on his way to work in Whatcom County, WA. He has lived in the United States for over 20 years, has no criminal background, no outstanding warrant, and is the sole provider for his wife and three daughters.

Ruben is known for his quiet strength, humility, and hard work. Everything he’s done has been to create a better life for his family.

Now, with Ruben detained, the Mendez family is facing immense emotional and financial hardship. They are navigating the trauma of family separation while trying to stay afloat without the stability and support Ruben has always provided.

This GoFundMe will help cover:

• Legal representation to fight Ruben’s detention

• Continued stability for the Mendez family during this crisis

This is not just one family’s story, it’s a reflection of the many who give so much, work hard, and contribute to their communities, only to live in fear of being torn apart.

Please consider donating or sharing. Every gesture of support helps the Mendez family stay strong while they fight to bring Ruben home.
