Isaac Villegas is home after his recent second release from immigration detention in Adelanto, California. Isaac is a dedicated worker, community member, and civil rights advocate. After his unlawful ICE arrest while waiting for work last June, Isaac became a civil rights leader when he, along with other Latino workers, filed a landmark federal lawsuit challenging racial profiling. He has shown courage and leadership in standing up for justice. On April 16, Isaac was illegally arrested a second time by ICE. A federal judge ordered his immediate release after his lawyer challenged his arrest as retaliatory and unconstitutional, but the damage was done. Isaac lost his job because of his detention, and could now lose his housing if he isn't able to pay rent. Isaac is rebuilding his life after losing his job and is focusing on his health and stability. Your support will help cover basic needs like rent, food, medical care, and transportation while he searches for new work. Every donation and share makes a difference. Thank you for standing with Isaac!

Orlando has been the heartbeat of his family. Today, that heart is missing. We are raising urgent funds for legal defense fees for Orlando, a devoted father, husband, and hardworking neighbor who was recently detained by ICE in Phoenix. Orlando has built a life of service and sacrifice here in Arizona since 2005. Orlando is a proud jornalero. Whether he is sweating on a construction site or working long hours at a sugar packaging plant, his goal has always been the same: providing for his wife and their three children. He is a man who works the jobs that keep our city running, all to ensure his kids have a future. The family lives humbly in a one-bedroom mobile home. Despite their challenges, Orlando’s hard work kept them afloat. Now, as the sole provider, his absence has left the family in a financial and emotional crisis. His wife, who has spent the last decade and a half as a dedicated homemaker, is now stepping into the sugar processing plant to pick up shifts just to keep the lights on. But wages from temporary shifts cannot cover the thousands of dollars needed for an immigration attorney to fight Orlando's case and bring him home. Every dollar raised will go directly toward Orlando’s legal representation. No donation is too small, and every share helps bring this family one step closer to being whole again. Thank you for your kindness and solidarity.

We are organizing this fundraiser to support a hard working Long Island immigrant family seeking a better future, but now facing a difficult situation. Olvin, a restaurant worker and main provider for his family, was detained by ICE agents in Uniondale, while preparing to take the children to school. Together, we need to fight to do everything possible to bring joy back to this family experiencing great financial hardship. Olvin's family consists of his wife, Kenia, 8-year-old Jeery, and 6-year-old Olvin Jr., both of whom have had health problems since they were very young. Olvin and Jeery suffer from asthma and sleep apnea, have undergone surgeries on their throat, nose, and ears, and experience severe asthma attacks at least once a week requiring medical attention. This family is under severe financial stress for day to day costs and also needs legal funds for the fight to keep Olvin with them. Every dollar counts.

Kasandra and her 10-year-old daughter, Lucy, went to a USCIS appointment believing they were following the rules and moving forward in their immigration case. Instead, they were detained by ICE and suddenly deported to El Salvador. They had fled domestic violence in search of safety. They trusted the process. In one moment, everything was taken from them—their home, their stability and their family and community. Lucy lives with epilepsy. She needs consistent care and her mother with her at all times. Because of this, Kasandra cannot work far from home. But she is determined to build something of her own. Kasandra wants to train and open a small bakery so she can provide for Lucy while caring for her health needs. Let's make it happen! Your support will help with: * Safe housing * Medical care and medication for Lucy * Bakery training and startup costs * Basic necessities as they start over Kasandra and Lucy should be with us today. They are not gone because they didn’t belong—but because of hate and persecution against immigrant families. Let’s show them they are not alone. Please donate and share. ❤️

On January 24, 2026, Andrés-a hardworking day laborer from Pasadena-set out to do what he does every day: work honestly to support his family. Without warning, multiple ICE agents arrived at his job site and detained him while he was working. Andrés is a devoted husband and a loving father. He is the sole provider for his household, and his sudden detention has left his family facing unimaginable uncertainty. As Andrés now faces a long and difficult legal battle for his freedom, his loved ones are left without his income, stability, or a safety net. We are asking for your compassion and support during this painful time. Donations will help cover Andrés’s legal expenses and provide for his family’s basic needs as they struggle to get through each day without him. No contribution is too small. Every act of support brings Andrés one step closer to reuniting with his family and returning home where he belongs. Please consider giving what you can and standing with Andrés and his family during this incredibly difficult moment.

On January 15th, our friend Kevin was taken by ICE at the day labor corner in Shoreline, WA. Kevin was one of two men abducted that day. ICE had shown up looking specifically for the other man, but they decided to grab Kevin too--a shameful "bonus" for them which abruptly ripped apart his life. Kevin is now being held at the Northwest Detention Center. He is the primary breadwinner for his wife and their young son back in Mexico. His detention means their income has stopped. His eventual deportation means a long trip from the border to his home much farther south. Kevin is not a criminal; he is a devoted husband and father. At our recent holiday gift drive for the day laborers at this hiring corner, rather than ask for a gift for himself, Kevin asked for a pair of tiny sneakers to send home to his son. (Which we got him!) Kevin is a gentle soul, and though he is much younger than most of the other day laborers at their hiring corner, he has been an integral part of the community they share with one another. His abduction has shaken the men, and Kevin's own spirits were clearly down when I visited him in detention shortly after his abduction. Pleases make a gift to support his wife and child who are impacted by the abrupt stop to their family income. You will also support his return travels, and you will give a boost to the future of this young family--the very boost that Kevin had been working so hard to accomplish amidst the risks of life as a day laborer. In sharp contrast to the cruelty which has been inflicted upon Kevin and his family by ICE's terror tactics, your gift will deliver a message of love, kindness, and care and will demonstrate your solidarity with the immigrant community. Thank you!

On January 12th, 2026, Baldomero - a Pasadena hardworking day laborer - was simply standing on a corner with other jornaleros looking to get a job for the day like they routinely do, getting ready to start his work day when, without warning, multiple ICE agents appeared and detained him simply for looking for a job. Baldomero is a dedicated husband and father. He is the sole provider for his household and now, with Baldomero detained and facing a long legal battle for his freedom, his family is left without his income and without a safety net. We’re asking for your support to help cover his legal expenses and the family’s basic needs during this difficult time. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings Baldomero one step closer to reuniting with his loved ones and regaining his freedom. Please give what you can today and help us bring Baldomero back home to his family.

On January 12, 2026, Miguel-a longtime Pasadena resident and hardworking day laborer-was doing what he has done countless mornings before: standing on a corner with other jornaleros, hoping for an honest day’s work to provide for his family. As he prepared to begin his workday, multiple ICE agents arrived without warning and detained him, along with three other workers, simply for seeking employment. Miguel is a devoted husband and a loving father. He is the sole provider for his household, and his detention has left his family suddenly without income, stability, or a safety net. As Miguel now faces a long and difficult legal battle for his freedom, his loved ones are left navigating uncertainty and hardship alone. We are asking for your compassion and support to help cover Miguel’s legal expenses and his family’s basic needs during this incredibly painful time. Every contribution, no matter the size, is a step toward reuniting Miguel with his family and restoring the stability they depend on. Please give what you can today and help bring Miguel home to the people who love and need him.
