<div>My brother, Arturo Brito, entered the United States and applied for asylum. He passed his credible fear interview and was granted parole, which allowed him to live legally in the U.S. while his asylum case moved forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since 2024, he has complied with everything the government has asked of him. He has no criminal record, maintains steady employment, has followed all immigration rules, and has faithfully attended every required ICE check-in appointment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At his most recent routine ICE check-in, he was unexpectedly detained at the ICE office in Westerville, Ohio, and is currently being held as an inmate at the Butler County Jail in Hamilton, Ohio.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite his full compliance and clean record, ICE reclassified his manner of entry in a way that removes his eligibility for bond, keeping him detained.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This week, during his immigration court hearing, the judge reviewed his case and, although she determined that she did not have jurisdiction due to ICE’s classification, she left open the option of filing a habeas corpus petition. In doing so, she indicated that if granted, an alternative bond of no less than $25,000 could be set, making it clear that a federal judge does have the authority to correct this error and order his release.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our attorneys have informed us that filing a federal habeas corpus petition is now our strongest and most urgent legal remedy. Habeas corpus challenges unlawful detention and gives a federal court the opportunity to intervene when ICE has exceeded its authority.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is not just a legal fight—it is a fight for our family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to cover:
</div>
<div>•	Federal legal fees to file the habeas corpus petition
</div>
<div>•	The bond company fee (a percentage of the bond)
</div>
<div>•	Immediate housing and medical support once he is released
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every day he remains detained is another day of uncertainty, fear, and separation from the people who love him. Any donation directly helps us challenge this detention and bring him home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this information or keeping us in your prayers. We are deeply grateful for every act of support during this very difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our family’s situation has been covered by a local news outlet.

</div>
<div>Mi hermano es Arturo Brito , ingresó a los Estados Unidos y solicitó asilo. Le fue aprobada en su entrevista de miedo creíble y se le concedió libertad condicional (parole), lo que le permitió vivir legalmente en EE. UU. mientras su caso de asilo avanzaba.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Desde 2024, ha cumplido con todo lo que el gobierno le ha solicitado. No tiene antecedentes penales, mantiene un trabajo estable, ha seguido todas las reglas de inmigración y ha asistido fielmente a cada cita obligatoria de chequeo con ICE.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En su más reciente chequeo rutinario con ICE, fue detenido de manera inesperada en la oficina de ICE en Westerville, Ohio, y actualmente se encuentra detenido como interno en la cárcel del Condado de Butler, en Hamilton, Ohio.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A pesar de su total cumplimiento y su historial limpio, ICE reclasificó su forma de ingreso de una manera que le quita la elegibilidad para fianza, manteniéndolo detenido.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Esta semana, en su audiencia la corte de inmigración en revisó su casoy Aunque decidio no tener jurisdicción debido a la clasificación hecha por ICE, dejó abiertas opciones de Habeas Corpus en cuyo caso afirmativo de fijar una fianza alternativa no menor de $25,000, dejando claro que un juez federal sí tiene la autoridad para corregir este error y ordenar su liberación.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nuestros abogados nos han informado que presentar una petición federal de habeas corpus es ahora nuestro recurso legal más fuerte y urgente. El habeas corpus impugna una detención ilegal y le da a un tribunal federal la oportunidad de intervenir cuando ICE ha excedido su autoridad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Esto no es solo una lucha legal, es una lucha por nuestra familia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Estamos recaudando fondos para cubrir:
</div>
<div>• Honorarios legales federales para presentar la petición de habeas corpus
</div>
<div>• La tarifa de la compañía de fianzas (un porcentaje de la fianza )
</div>
<div>• Apoyo inmediato para gastos de vivienda y atención médica una vez que sea liberado
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cada día que permanece detenido es un día más de incertidumbre, miedo y separación de las personas que lo aman. Cualquier donación nos ayuda directamente a impugnar esta detención y traerlo de regreso a casa.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Si no puede donar, por favor considere compartir esta información o mantenernos en sus oraciones. Estamos profundamente agradecidos por cada acto de apoyo durante este momento tan difícil.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>La situación de nuestra familia ha sido cubierta por un medio de comunicación local.
