Help my uncle after being detained by ICE

Donation protected
January 28th, 2026: As of January 10th, my uncle was released from the ICE detention center in Missouri. My uncle was fortunate enough to be released on a high bail. We are beyond thankful and want to express our gratitude to everyone who took the time to share, donate, or check in on us during such a hard time.

Now, the fight is far from over. We are still facing legal fees as we continue his case. Although he was released, his case is not closed and we will continue needing help to cover the cost of the attorney. Additionally, since my uncle was nearly detained for 2 months, they need additional help financially with bills that have accumulated.

We are always thankful for your kind thoughts, prayers, shares, and donations.

El 10 de enero, mi tío fue liberado del centro de detención de ICE en Missouri. Tuvo la fortuna de ser liberado bajo una fianza alta. Estamos sumamente agradecidos y queremos expresar nuestra gratitud a todos los que se tomaron el tiempo de compartir, donar o estar al tanto de cómo estábamos en estos momentos tan difíciles.

Ahora, la lucha está lejos de terminar. Seguimos pagando los honorarios legales mientras continuamos con su caso. Aunque fue liberado, su caso no está cerrado y seguiremos necesitando ayuda para cubrir los costos del abogado. Además, dado que mi tío estuvo casi detenido durante dos meses, necesitan ayuda financiera adicional con las facturas que se han acumulado.

Siempre agradecemos sus amables pensamientos, oraciones, acciones y donaciones.

My name is Alex Lopez, and I am reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your support for my uncle, Antonio Vicente Francisco.

On November 18th, 2025, my uncle was unexpectedly detained by ICE at Bro-Tex in Saint Paul, MN, along with many other hard-working individuals. Antonio is a devoted husband and the loving father of three children. He has always worked tirelessly, often holding down two jobs to support his family and provide his kids with the stability and opportunities they deserve.

This situation has been incredibly difficult for their family. Antonio is still currently detained, and we are doing everything we can to navigate this painful and uncertain time. One of the biggest challenges we face right now is the cost of legal fees, which are essential for helping him fight his case and return home to his family.

We are humbly asking for any support you can offer. Every donation, no matter the amount, means the world to us. And if you’re unable to donate, a share of this fundraiser would also be deeply appreciated.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for taking the time to read Antonio’s story and for any support you can give.

Me llamo Alex López y, con gran pesar, les escribo para pedirles su apoyo para mi tío, Antonio Vicente Francisco.

El 18 de noviembre de 2025, mi tío fue detenido por ICE inesperadamente en Bro-Tex en Saint Paul, Minnesota, junto con muchas otras personas trabajadoras. Antonio es un esposo dedicado y un padre de tres hijos. Siempre ha trabajado incansablemente, a veces con dos trabajos, para mantener a su familia y brindarles a sus hijos la estabilidad y las oportunidades que se merecen.

Esta situación ha sido increíblemente difícil para su familia. Antonio sigue detenido y estamos haciendo todo lo posible para superar este momento doloroso e incierto. Uno de los mayores desafíos que enfrentamos actualmente es el costo de los honorarios legales, que son esenciales para ayudarlo a defender su caso y regresar a casa con su familia.

Les pedimos humildemente cualquier apoyo que puedan ofrecer. Cada donación, sin importar la cantidad, significa mucho para nosotros. Y si no pueden donar, con compartir nuestro enlace, seremos muy agradecidos.

Desde el fondo de nuestro corazón, gracias por tomarte el tiempo de leer la historia de Antonio y por cualquier apoyo que puedan brindar.
