Claudia's Deportation Defense

Two weeks ago, my sister Claudia Portillo, an Arcata mother of four was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in San Francisco. She spent Thanksgiving in a detention cell, in a facility that is known for its harsh conditions. Claudia is a mother and contributing member of our community, owns a business and is active with her church, Restauracion Ebenezer.

Her attorney expects a bond hearing will happen by next month. Our family is asking for $7,000 to support attorney fees and travel to the Bay Area to visit her while she is in detention. Funds will go to Miguel Cuevas, Claudia's Partner, who is in direct contact with her lawyer. Please donate to help reunite her back with us. We appreciate anything you can give.

Hace dos semanas, mi hermana Claudia fue detenida en su cita con la oficina de inmigracion en San Francisco. Es una madre de cuatro hijas en Arcata. Paso el dia de gracias en un centro de detencion en el condado de Contra Costa, donde esta conocido por su maltrato de los detenidos. Claudia es una madre, una miembra activa de la comunidad y con su iglesia, Restauracion Ebenezer.

Su abogado espera que habra una fianza dentro de un mes. Nuestra familia esta pidiendo $7.000 dolares de apoyo por sus pagos legales y para viajar a San Francisco a visitarla durante su detencion. Por favor, si pueden, donar para reunirla con nosotros. Les agradecemos mucho por su apoyo.
