A man referred to as Eyvar was recently detained by ICE, separating him from his wife, a U.S. citizen who is unable to work due to a serious hand injury. He had been the family's primary financial provider and also supports a son who lives in Mexico. Friends describe him as hardworking, kind, and responsible, and the family has already paid $5,000 in attorney fees to fight his immigration case.
