<div>I am starting this fundraiser for our friends, Maria and Efrain. On April 21st, 2025 when Efrain was taking his son to the bus stop, immigration agents came and detained him without a warrant, and without looking at his paperwork. He was taken to the Aurora GEO Ice facility where we are trying to help him get legal representation and make sure he obtains due process. He has applied for asylum, along with his wife Maria. She is here in Denver with their 2 young children who attend school and are missing their dad. This fundraiser is to help Maria pay rent, provide groceries for the family and possibly pay some legal fees if we are unable to obtain pro bono representation. We are actively seeking a lawyer to represent Efrain's case. They arrived to the US via CBP One and followed all of the correct processes, and saved money to apply for asylum. He obtained his work permit and I had been actively helping him find a steady job so he can support his family. His children miss him and are dealing with a lot of uncertainty.
</div>
<div>Despite the hardships he has endured, Efrain is a gracious and happy person, who wants to work hard to provide for his family.
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>These funds will support his wife, Maria, and their two young children, ensuring they have a roof over their head and food while Efrain is in ICE custody.   Updates will be provided as we find out more information.   </strong>
