"I was then able to confirm through the ICE locator as his information finally showed in the system. Thank you again for all the support."
"help us with legal fees, making sure he has money in there, and potentially setting up to live in a different country"
"The only human experience out of all of this is being able to build a community and being able to show up and support each other. That was truly how I was able to know and confirm that Juan was at the Louisiana facility. "It's on us to make sure we know where our loved ones are. All this has been so costly, all this is so physically exhausting and labour-intensive and mentally taxing. I'm so happy there is a community that wants to support in any way they can, so thank you again."
Eric Duran is documenting efforts to free his boyfriend Juan, who has been transferred from Colorado and Arizona to an ICE facility in Louisiana. Duran confirmed Juan's location through an ICE locator after receiving a tip from someone connected to Juan. A GoFundMe has raised most of a $5,500 target to cover legal fees, funds for Juan while detained, and potential relocation. Duran said Juan was moved before a scheduled bond hearing and described the process as intentional, obstructing due process. Duran described the search as costly, physically exhausting, labour-intensive, and mentally taxing, and thanked community supporters.
