Help Dany Get Back on Her Feet

Donation protected
Daniela “Dany” Vargas is facing an extraordinary injustice, detained by immigration agents despite being a DACA recipient. We are committed to helping Dany get back on her feet after this nightmare. Will you help us ensure that she and her family have an opportunity to live a life with dignity and respect? We aim to raise $25,000 to cover expenses related to Dany’s detention and to support her future ability to pursue her dreams.

About Daniela’s situation:

ICE agents detained 22-year-old Dany Vargas just hours after she courageously spoke about her fear of deportation at a press conference. She was afraid because two weeks ago, ICE officers raided her home and detained both her brother and father while she hid, terrified, in her closet for four hours.

Dany came to the U.S. when she was 7 years old and was a beneficiary of the DACA program. She has been working to save money to finish college and dreams of becoming a math teacher.

Like many beneficiaries of the DACA program, paying the nearly $500 in fees every two years was hard and her DACA status expired. However, Dany saved up, got the money together and her renewal application is now in the approval process. Nevertheless, ICE tracked her down just moments after her public speech and put her into the deportation pipeline.

Help Daniela by making a financial contribution, and make sure you’ve asked your friends to sign the petition demanding her immediate release.
