12 Months Detained by ICE: Help A Family Struggling to Survive :: an Update.
Thank you to friends and supporters who have helped us. This is Amaliia. My husband was detained by ICE 12 months ago. We continue to need your help and support desperately. I had been hoping we would have a happy update and would not need your support. But we truly need you and your friends and family more than ever.
It has been a full year that Shah has been in detainment.
One year of raising our young daughter without her father.
One year of caring for my ill mother, who cannot walk.
One full year of the constant fear, stress, and never – ending struggle as I try to pay for everything, support Shah’s legal needs, and ensure the security of our small family.
I need your help. I need you.
I am behind on critical payments. Rent, car payments, utilities. We need funds for legal help for Shah. He is in a facility outside of Chicago and is doing the best he can to get home to us. I need help so that we are here when he comes back. His birthday has come and gone. The holidays are coming and going. You have asked how you can help.
- Donate. Any amount helps and any amount raises more visibility for me and my family.
- Share this page. Ask your family and friends to help me and my family.
- If you can’t give please don’t pass us by. Your words of encouragement, seeing you pass on our message, means the world.
Everyone is someone’s world. Shah is ours and we need help until he comes home – and we need help to get him home.
Thank you for standing with us.

Help Bring My Husband, Shokhrukh Abdullaev, Home
My name is Amaliia, and I am reaching out during the most difficult time of our lives.
My husband, Shokhrukh “Shah” Abdullaev, was detained illegally, and he is now being held in an immigration detention center. He is an honest, hardworking man with Work Authorization and a CDL, who has always thought of our family and worked to build a future here
“But now he has been taken into custody, and I am left alone with a small child and an elderly mother, to fight for his return home.”

⚖️ Why We Must File in Federal Court
Because his detention is illegal and standard bond and sponsorship procedures do not apply, the only legal option is to file through Federal Court using Habeas Corpus.
This makes the process much more complicated, longer, and expensive.
What the Funds Are Needed For
Legal Costs:
• $10,000 — Happy US attorney
• $10,000 — Habeas Corpus filing in federal court
• $15,000 — main federal court case
• Potential bond — starting from $15,000 and up (exact amount will be determined later)
The attorney has agreed to split payments: $5,000 now and $5,000 in two weeks, and the same installments for other stages.
Living Expenses:
I am left alone to cover everything:
• rent
• car loan
• car insurance
• utilities
• basic living expenses
• calls to the detention center and document preparation
I am working two jobs, but even that is not enough to cover everything at once.
Employer Did Not Help
The company my husband worked for:
• did not return his $2,500 deposit
• did not pay his last paycheck
Other trucking companies often help their drivers, act as sponsors, and support families. We have received no help.
Why We Are Asking for Your Help
Every dollar brings my husband closer to freedom.
Every share helps us reach people who can make a difference.
Please help us during this extremely difficult time.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who supports us.
Помогите вернуть моего мужа, Шохруха Абдуллаева, домой
Меня зовут Амалия, и я обращаюсь к вам в самый тяжёлый момент нашей жизни.
Моего мужа, Шохруха (Shokhrukh “Shah” Abdullaev), задержали незаконно, и сейчас он находится в иммиграционном детеншене. Он честный, трудолюбивый человек, с Work Authorization и CDL, который всегда думал о семье и строил будущее здесь.
Но сейчас он лишён свободы, а я осталась одна с маленьким ребенком и пожилой мамой бороться за его возвращение домой.
⚖️ Почему мы подаём в федеральный суд
Поскольку его задержание незаконно и стандартные процедуры бонда и спонсорства ему не подходят, единственный путь — подавать в федеральный суд через Habeas Corpus.
Это делает процесс гораздо сложнее, дольше и дороже.
На что нужны средства прямо сейчас
Юридические расходы:
• $10,000 — адвокат для Happy US
• $10,000 — Habeas Corpus (подача в федеральный суд)
• $15,000 — основной федеральный кейс
• Возможный бонд — от $15,000 и выше (точная сумма будет известна позже)
Адвокат согласен принимать оплату частями: $5,000 сейчас и $5,000 через две недели, и далее по таким же платежам.
Бытовые расходы:
Я одна оплачиваю всё:
• аренду жилья
• кредит машины
• страховку
• коммунальные услуги
• базовые расходы на жизнь
• звонки в детеншн и подготовку документов
Я работаю на двух работах, но даже этого недостаточно, чтобы покрыть всё одновременно.
Работодатель не помог
Компания, где работал мой муж:
• не вернула депозит $2,500,
• не выплатила последнюю зарплату
Другие траковые компании обычно помогают своим водителям, выступают спонсорами и поддерживают семьи. Мы остались без какой-либо поддержки.
Почему мы просим вашей помощи
Каждый доллар приближает момент, когда мой муж сможет выйти на свободу и вернуться домой.
Каждый репост помогает нам найти людей, которые могут поддержать.
Пожалуйста, помогите нам в этот тяжёлый момент.
Спасибо каждому, кто откликнется.
