URGENT: Help Protect a 17-Year-Old Student From Deportation

A 17-year-old student from Portland has an immigration court hearing this Wednesday. He urgently needs legal representation to apply for asylum and pursue Special Immigrant Juvenile Status. Without these protections, he will get a removal order and face deportation.  He came here as an unaccompanied child at 12 years old. 

His family of eight had been living in a rented basement filled with mold and rats, with a ceiling that was collapsing. Because of these unsafe conditions, the family is now without stable shelter.

This young man and his family have already endured unimaginable trauma, including the killing of a family member in their home country. He should be focused on school and building a safe future not facing deportation.

The family desperately needs housing support, but the most urgent priority right now is making sure ICE does not deport this young man this week.

We urgently need to raise $5,700 before Wednesday to cover his legal fees and immigration filings.Please donate and share. Click on the link in our bio. Every contribution, no matter the amount, will make a difference.

What we do: 

This is exactly why our work matters.

Over the past year, we have hired attorneys for immigrants facing detention and deportation, reunited families torn apart by ICE, helped stop deportations, prevented evictions, secured emergency shelter for vulnerable community members, and supported families through some of the most terrifying moments of their lives.

We have helped parents return home to their children.

We have fought for people trapped in detention centers.

We have supported families left behind with rent, groceries, transportation, baby supplies, emergency housing, and legal support.

This fundraiser is part of our community support fund for families impacted by ICE detention and deportation efforts.

And this crisis is far from over.

Every single week, we continue receiving calls from terrified families whose loved ones have been detained, families facing eviction after losing income, individuals sleeping in unsafe conditions after being targeted, and parents struggling to survive while navigating impossible circumstances.

This fundraiser will continue helping immigrant families throughout this crisis by providing:

• Legal support and attorney fees

• Bond assistance to help reunite families

• Emergency housing and shelter

• Rent and eviction prevention support

• Groceries, transportation, and essential supplies

• Community support for families facing ICE detention and deportation

This is community-funded, community-led mutual aid rooted in solidarity and love.

Since March 2025, thousands of people have supported this work. Together, more than 10,000 donations have raised over $600,000 directly for legal defense and urgent community needs.

Every donation helps keep families safe, supported, and together.

We show up because we know what it means to be abandoned, targeted, and forgotten.

We believe immigrant families deserve dignity, safety, and the chance to live without fear.

This is mutual aid.
This is community.
This is resistance.
This is love.

Thank you for continuing to stand with immigrant families and with us.
