On September 19th, Johny was forcibly detained by ICE while working his routine delivery route. He is currently being held at a detention center and has been refused legal services, violating his right to due process. ICE was working to deceive individuals who were traveling on the interstate to stop at the weigh station. There, they proceeded to apprehend him and his coworker without due regard to the status of their legally acquired work permits. They violated his 4th Amendment right to refuse unreasonable search and seizure, and he is being held for an undetermined amount of time.

This fundraiser is to help support the basic necessities, like rent and food, for his wife Karina and three children: Jeremías, 12; Elias, 6; and Sarah, 4.

We aim to support them as much as possible while he is detained before his release or deportation to Ecuador.

In a time where so much prejudice and hatred is being spread, this is an opportunity to show compassion and help to reunite a man with his family. A man who tirelessly worked his blue-collar trucking job to support a family of 5. If that isn't in line with our deepest values as Americans, then what is?

Any contributions to Johny and his family will go a long way in supporting them until they are reunited.

Thank you for your consideration!
