<div>My name is Marina and <strong>my husband Igor Botezatu was detained by ICE at the end of March 2026 and is now held in custody.</strong> He was eligible for bond but was denied due to cash sponsor not being a blood relative (we don't have blood relatives who are citizens and over 18 years old), we filed for motion to reconsider explaining that sponsor is a close friend and were denied again. According to my search <em>the denial is illegal and the judge violated due process</em>. Now we are appealing, but it will take a few months (3 to 6 months).

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I also filed writ of habeas in Federal District Court and it was unlawfully denied.<strong> I don't even know if justice exists anymore</strong>.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I do know one thing. <strong>What is happening to by husband is illegal </strong>as he does not have to be in detention and this whole situation is destroying our family and everything we worked for all these years is almost gone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Igor came to the US from Moldova more than 10 years ago. He was authorized to legally work and remain in the United States. Since 2016 Igor is a professional driver who drove over 1 million safe miles across the country contributing to the US economy. He has clean driving and criminal records.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My husband is <strong>the sole provider for our family of six.</strong> We have 4 beautiful daughters, ages 6, 4, 2, and 6 months. Until the day of his arrest, I was a stay-at-home mom taking care of 3 children while one was in school.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now<strong> our lives are falling apart</strong>. The kids lost their father, and there were only two of us taking care of them. I'm trying to work out a way of making money, but I'm not sure how fast it will happen considering daycare costs. So far I have 4 kids at home with me on summer break.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>The kids lives felt apart:</strong> they lost hobbies they loved, lost all the activities they used to enjoy and probably will lose access to the school they've attended.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><em>It is scary how life can just change in one day</em> and rent becomes your primary expense. I have to ask local nonprofits and organizations for help but their abilities are limited.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We need money to <strong>not be left out on the street </strong>and be able to pay bills, rent , car, phone and utilities.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The legal battle is far from over and we need money to be able to continue the fight to get him out. And cost of it is unbelievably high.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But when you don't have money for food, you obviously cannot afford <strong>legal fees.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We don’t have relatives here, and I have nowhere to ask but the community. I am not asking for myself; I am begging on behalf of the innocent children that never deserved this.

</div>

<div>Please help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>
