<div>On <strong>June 18, 2025</strong>, the Robles Ortega family in <strong>Oceanside, California</strong> experienced a <strong>traumatic and deeply destabilizing ICE raid</strong>. We are now asking for your support to help the family secure <strong>two separate attorneys</strong>, as both parents are facing different legal proceedings.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Robles Ortega family had lived in their home for ten years when ICE entered with <strong>violent force</strong> and detained both parents. At <strong>6:00 a.m.</strong>, as the father was leaving for work, the two children in the home were woken by <strong>sound grenades</strong> and the sound of <strong>windows shattering </strong>throughout the apartment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>ICE agents <strong>dragged the mother by her hair </strong>before forcefully handcuffing her. She lives with anxiety and <strong>chronic hip pain</strong>, both of which have worsened due to the violence she endured. Since being detained, she has <strong>requested medical care</strong> for her pain but has not received treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Within minutes, all the apartment windows were destroyed. <strong>Two teenagers, ages 14 and 17</strong>, were handcuffed. They are now navigating the emotional and psychological aftermath of the raid. The children are currently <strong>under the care of their older sister</strong> while their parents remain in ICE custody awaiting court proceedings.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Friends, neighbors, and community members have expressed deep love and respect for the Robles Ortega family. Their sudden separation has left loved ones devastated and unsure of what lies ahead. Their love for one another remains strong, even as they face this painful and uncertain moment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All contributions will directly support <strong>legal representation and urgent family needs</strong>. Donations are being <strong>coordinated transparently</strong> by the family and trusted community members.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating, sharing this campaign, or simply holding the family in your heart during this time of profound disruption. <strong>Every act of solidarity matters.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Updates will continue to be shared here as we walk alongside the Robles Ortega family in their fight for justice and healing. <strong>Thank you for holding this story with care.</strong>

<div><strong>For those who have asked how they can help, the fundraiser is a direct way to support the Robles Ortega Family. The family are HRCO community members. HRCO</strong> is the host organizer for this fundraiser,<strong> however, the older sister of the Robles Ortega, Perla Valdovinos, will be the beneficiary of the GoFundMe as she is caring for the family's needs. The funds raised are being used primarily for legal expenses and to help the family reunite and get through this time. Every contribution of any amount is bringing relief in the middle of this crisis. We thank you for your support. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>*Update* The attorney fees for the mother have surpassed the anticipated fundraising amount. We will be increasing the goal to $25,000 and will be keeping you updated on the family's story.</strong>
