Hello, my name is
_ I'm calling to demand the
immediate release of Wagner Carabello-Gonzalez, A#241362234.
His detention imposes extreme financial, psychological, and physical hardships upon him and his family.
He is an active, upstanding, and highly valued member of his daughter's elementary school community in the West Village.
Furthermore, he poses absolutely no flight risk— especially considering he has an impending asylum hearing at 290
Broadway on Dec. 2nd.
I'm calling as a vast network of community members who support Mr. Carabello-Gonzalez and want to see him home with his family.

Wagner and Veronica fled Colombia and came to the US
seeking treatment for their epileptic daughter. But on 10/6, ICE abducted Wagner as he was leaving his immigration hearing.
As his lawyer fights for his release, Veronica continues to manage their daughter's seizures caused by a brain tumor and care for their 2yo son-all while navigating the NYC shelter system.
Help Veronica and her children meet their basic needs, seek livesaving treatment for their daughter, and reunite with Wagner. Donate today! A little goes a long way.

When you’re chronically ill, your world can be quite small.

People abandon you when you become disabled. When you can’t hide your pain.

The isolation can be just as hard as the illness… but please know you’re not alone.

None of us are ever alone. We are all fighters & this community has your back

We should have a memorial day for COVID. It is horrific that we as a society have done virtually nothing to remember the millions who have died. Rushing to forget what happened also makes it much more likely that we will continue to repeat our deadly mistakes.

The Trump administration has cancelled 4,304 deliveries to food banks so far this year, refusing to deliver 94 million pounds of contracted-for food. Food banks simply can’t feed people enough anymore. Millions of Americans are going hungry as a result.

Some clarity here; these are children already in government custody in shelters for unaccompanied kids. So the question is what happens when they turn 18.

The law says there needs to be an individualized assessment taking into account the least restrictive option.

ICE just wanted to jail them all.

Lisa Meece @lisameece.bsky.social · 4d

Ice is tracking birthdays... so they can detain folks when they turn 18.

If only that level of diligence and effort was going into support people, imagine what the world could be...
