The Stories Behind the Movement

One father, fully compliant with his ISAP supervision program, was seized from his own front yard while his preschool-aged child looked on in terror. 

This family will forever be impacted by state violence.

A survivor of human trafficking and labor exploitation with a valid work permit was pulled from her car and detained, despite her protected status, and spent a week in harsh conditions before Alabama Coalition for Immigrant Justice (ACIJ) and a volunteer attorney secured her release. Her brother, also a victim of labor exploitation, was tricked into appearing at an ISAP office, then put in detention, leaving his wife and children with no income.

In cases like these, access to legal help and emergency funds can make the difference between prolonged detention and family reunification.
