Get Rui Back Home

Donation protected
My name is Sofia, and I am asking for help for my husband Pedro’s younger brother Rui. Rui has been a resident of the United States since he was 2 years old. He has a good job, payes his taxes, and lives with his longtime girlfriend. He is a legal resident with a valid green card. He traveled out of the country on vacation, and was detained by Border Patrol on his return over an old record. He is now in ICE custody and being held in a county jail out of state. Rui is not a criminal. He is a good person who does not deserve to be in jail while this gets cleared up. Rui wants you to know he has been treated well and he is safe. We are doing all we can to get Rui back home. We are asking for any help you can offer - advice, contacts, donations and sharing his story. Unfortunately, navigating the legal system is a large financial burden so we are asking on his behalf in order to help with costs. We never imagined we would be in this situation, and we are so grateful for all the support. Thank you.
