Support Daimarys & Kids During Daixon's Detention

Daimarys & Daixon are Venezuelan asylum seekers with three young children, including a US citizen baby. On August 18th, Daixon was detained at an ICE check in in Portland. Daixon has no criminal history, has applied for asylum, and has complied with the requirements of the immigration process. Nevertheless, he was detained in a check in that he was told was just for the purpose of “verifying his information.” Most cruelly, he was denied access to his attorney, who was present on site and ready to assist him, but ICE did not allow him legal support before transporting him to the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma.

Daixon was the family’s primary breadwinner and leaves behind Daimarys, who has been a leader in her community since arriving in Portland, his two step-children, and the couple’s shared baby. All donations will go directly to Daimarys, who will use the funds both to support Daixon while he is detained, with phone calls and commissary, as well as to support herself and the children in meeting their basic needs during this difficult time.

Daimarys y Daixon son solicitantes de asilo venezolanos con tres hijos pequeños, incluyendo un bebé ciudadano estadounidense. El 18 de agosto, Daixon fue detenido en una cita de ICE en Portland. Daixon no tiene antecedentes penales, ha solicitado asilo y ha cumplido con los requisitos del proceso de inmigración. Sin embargo, fue detenido en una cita que, según le informaron, era solo para “verificar su información.” Lo más cruel fue que se le negó el acceso a su abogado, quien estaba presente en el lugar y listo para ayudarlo, pero ICE no le permitió asistencia legal antes de trasladarlo al centro de detención en Tacoma.

Daixon era el principal sostén de la familia y deja atrás a Daimarys, quien ha sido una líder en su comunidad desde que llegó a Portland, a sus dos hijastros y al bebé de los dos. Todas las donaciones irán directamente a Daimarys, quien utilizará los fondos tanto para apoyar a Daixon mientras esté detenido, con llamadas telefónicas y comisaria, como para apoyarse a sí misma y a los niños en la satisfacción de sus necesidades básicas durante este momento difícil.
