Help Pay Edin's Bond so He Can Seek Asylum
Donation protected
Edin Omar Ponce Velazquez is an asylum-seeker from Santa Cruz de Yojoa in Honduras who is currently detained in the Kenosha County Detention Center. He has been granted a $5,000 bond, but he only has until April 9th to pay. We need to raise this money before April 9th so Edin can be released from detention, secure legal representation, and fight his case.
Edin fled Honduras in September 2018, after police beat him severely and threatened to kill him because of his activism in a political party. After a dangerous journey through Mexico, Edin arrived in the United States in November 2018, and has been detained by ICE since then.
If we are not able to raise this money to pay Edin's bond, he will most likely be deported to Honduras, where his life will be in danger. Many asylum seekers who have been deported back to Honduras have been murdered, including Santos Chirino and Nelson Espinal . Please donate and share.
