Henry was detained today by ICE agents in plain cloths while he was going to work. Henry is the only breadwinner for his family, and has been an exemplary person working hard to provide for his pregnant partner and her 6 years old child who is a US citizen with a mental disability. Henry had a DUI a few years ago and did comply responsibly with all the requirement for the diversion program, and also has been active in the community, and a member of the VOZ Workers Rights Education Project.
See below for details on how you can support Henry and his family. We will update you as we get more information.
