Support for a Spokane Family's Legal Defense

Donation protected
Estamos buscando donaciones para cubrir los honorarios legales de mi esposo y su hermano, quienes fueron arrestados injustamente en Spokane con uso excesivo de fuerza por parte de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE). El 10 de marzo, mi esposo, mi cuñado y yo nos dirigíamos al Tribunal de Spokane para nuestra audiencia. Cuando nos acercábamos al tribunal, varios autos sin identificación nos cerraron el paso y fuimos rodeados por agentes de ICE. Conociendo nuestros derechos, les pedimos a los agentes una prueba de orden judicial y comenzamos a grabar. Los agentes de ICE no presentaron una orden y, en su lugar, exigieron que saliéramos del vehículo. Luego rompieron las ventanas de nuestro auto y sacaron a la fuerza a mi esposo y a mi cuñado. Los agentes usaron fuerza excesiva, incluyendo una pistola eléctrica, hasta que mi esposo resultó gravemente herido. Tuvo que ser trasladado al hospital antes de ser llevado al Centro de Detención de Tacoma. Necesitamos urgentemente ayuda financiera para cubrir los honorarios legales y luchar contra su orden de deportación. Estoy embarazada y mi cuñada acaba de dar a luz a un bebé de un mes. Dada nuestra situación actual, no podemos trabajar y necesitamos apoyo financiero para cubrir sus gastos legales.

We are seeking donations to cover the legal fees for my husband and his brother who were wrongfully arrested in Spokane with excessive use of force by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). On March 10, my husband, brother-in-law, and I were on our way to the Spokane Courthouse for our hearing. As we approached the courthouse, several unmarked cars blocked our way and we were surrounded by ICE agents. Knowing our rights, we asked the agents for proof of a warrant and began recording. The ICE agents did not present a warrant and instead demanded that we exit the vehicle. They then smashed the windows of our car and forcibly removed my husband and brother-in-law. The agents used excessive force, including a stun gun, until my husband was severely injured. He had to be transported to the hospital before being taken to the Tacoma Detention Center. We urgently need financial help to cover legal fees and fight against her deportation order. I am pregnant and my sister-in-law just gave birth to a one-month-old baby. Given our current situation, we are unable to work and we need financial support to cover her legal fees.
