Father of seven detained at immigration interview, family raises bond funds
Oct 5, 2026·Location: Los Angeles, CA

A father of seven and grandfather of eight was detained by ICE during his immigration interview and is now being held at a detention center awaiting a court date to determine whether he can remain in the U.S. or will be deported. He had renewed his green card for nearly 30 years before immigration authorities determined he was no longer eligible. His family is raising money to cover $7,000 in legal fees and an estimated $5,000–$10,000 bond, while supporting his wife with bills and visits.
