Support Yobel’s Fight for Justice and Freedom

Donation protected
On the morning of January 27, 2026, my husband, Yobel Reyes, was wrongfully detained by ICE at the Autozone in Compton, California. He fully cooperated, did not resist, and informed officers that he has an active immigration case with USCIS, including an approved petition. Despite this, he was taken into custody.
His detention was sudden, terrifying, and has shattered our family.
I am now urgently seeking a detention and immigration attorney to fight for my husband’s release and to prove that he should not have been detained. Legal help is our only hope—but it comes at a cost we cannot afford alone.
I am the sole provider for our four children, one of whom has serious medical needs. Losing my husband so unexpectedly has left us emotionally devastated and financially overwhelmed.
We are asking for $15,000 to cover:
    •    Immigration and detention attorney fees
    •    Emergency filings and legal processing
    •    Court and documentation costs
Every donation, prayer, and share brings us closer to bringing Yobel home. Our children need their father. Our family needs justice.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing with us in this painful moment.

La mañana del 27 de enero de 2026, mi esposo, Yobel Reyes, fue detenido injustamente por ICE en el Autozone ciudad de Compton, California. Él cooperó completamente, no se resistió y les informó a los oficiales que tiene un caso migratorio activo con USCIS y una petición aprobada. Aun así, fue detenido.
Esta detención fue inesperada y devastadora, y cambió nuestras vidas en un instante.
Ahora necesito contratar urgentemente a un abogado de inmigración y detención para luchar por su liberación y demostrar que mi esposo no debió haber sido detenido. Los costos legales son altos y no podemos afrontarlos solos.
Soy la única cabeza del hogar, cuidando a nuestros cuatro hijos, uno de ellos con necesidades médicas continuas. La ausencia de mi esposo ha dejado a nuestra familia rota emocionalmente y en una situación económica muy difícil.
Estamos solicitando $15,000 para cubrir:
    •    Honorarios legales de inmigración y detención
    •    Trámites y mociones de emergencia
    •    Costos judiciales y documentación
Cualquier donación o compartir nuestra historia nos acerca a reunir a nuestra familia. Mis hijos necesitan a su padre. Necesitamos justicia.
Gracias de todo corazón por su apoyo y solidaridad.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read our story, for your kindness, and for standing with our family during one of the hardest moments of our lives.
