Father of Four has been deported: Assessing Next Steps!

Donation protected
UPDATE:
Carlos was finally able to communicate with me. Unfortunately, he has been deported to Mexico. We are currently assessing our next steps, and we are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and solidarity. Thank you so very much.

My name is Maribel and today, January 29, 2026, at approximately 10:59 a.m., my husband, Carlos Chavez, was taken by ICE without a warrant while at the stand we have worked hard to build over several years, located just outside the North Hills Hispanic United Methodist Church campus.

At this time, we are urgently trying to determine my husband’s whereabouts. We are reaching out to local organizations for support and anticipate needing financial assistance for his legal defense.

Carlos is the father of four children and the primary provider for our family. This sudden and traumatic event has deeply impacted our household.

Any support you are able to provide—financial, legal, or through sharing this message—is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your solidarity and care during this difficult time.

With gratitude,

ACTUALIZACIÓN: Carlos finalmente pudo comunicarse conmigo. Lamentablemente, fue deportado a México. En este momento estamos evaluando nuestros próximos pasos y agradecemos profundamente la enorme muestra de amor, oraciones y solidaridad. Muchas gracias. Mi nombre es Maribel y hoy, 29 de enero de 2026, aproximadamente a las 10:59 a.m., mi esposo, Carlos Chávez, fue detenido por ICE sin una orden judicial mientras se encontraba en el puesto de tacos que hemos trabajado arduamente para construir durante varios años, ubicado justo afuera del campus de la Iglesia Metodista Unida Hispana de North Hills.

En este momento, estamos tratando urgentemente de conocer el paradero de mi esposo. Nos estamos comunicando con organizaciones locales en busca de apoyo y anticipamos que necesitaremos ayuda financiera para su defensa legal.

Carlos es padre de cuatro hijos y el principal sustento económico de nuestra familia. Este evento repentino y traumático ha afectado profundamente a nuestro hogar.

Agradecemos cualquier apoyo que puedan brindarnos—ya sea financiero, legal o compartiendo este mensaje. Gracias por su solidaridad y acompañamiento en este momento tan difícil.

Muchas gracias
