TRP IMMIGRANT
JUSTICE
Working toward a future where all immigrants are liberated with equal opportunities to thrive, experience joy, and be celebrated in their full humanity.
Take Action to #FreeFederico
Federico Alcantar is a 22-year-old legal guardian and sole caretaker of his younger siblings, Rosa and Diego. In late October, Federico was arrested at gunpoint by federal agents during a traffic stop. Right now, he is being held in ICE detention.
His siblings are left without the one person who has kept them safe, stable, and together since losing both parents. Federico’s case is a clear reminder of why our movement exists. We are working diligently to get him released and reunited with Rosa and Diego — but we need your help.
Sign the petition to demand ICE release Federico
RSVP to join us for an urgent community vigil on February 7 to stand together in support of Federico’s release
