The a4a Immigration Team is deeply concerned about our undocumented brothers and sisters in detention at this dangerous time.  Bond, or the cost of getting undocumented migrants out of prison while they await asylum or deportation cancelation hearings costs $10,000 or more for a single bond.  Families can ill afford it.  Millions of undocumented folks – hard-working, tax-paying heads of households – will NOT receive a stimulus check simply because they use an Individualized Tax ID Number rather than a Social Security Number.

People in detention are in great danger.  Held where social distancing is impossible, detainees share bathrooms, showers, and cells.  COVID 19 is breaking out and they have no protection – no masks, no soap, nothing.

Keep Tucson Together is working hard to get their undocumented clients out of detention now, using the NMD bond fund.

Your donation will save lives.  When the vast majority of people out on bond make their court appearances, the bond is repaid to NMD.  One donation serves many.

DHS medical experts have warned that facility conditions – crowded and unsanitary –  present a “tinderbox scenario” for the spread of COVID-19 and the virus could spread to and overwhelm nearby hospitals.

Tell ICE or DHS that when detainees are released:

• their legal cases proceed just as they do for non-detained immigrants facing charges; the vast majority of immigrants comply with court orders proceedings
• releasing detainees is a common sense and necessary precaution.
