It is a heartless thing for our government to not be moved to act now. TPS for Haitians officially ends, putting thousands out of work and in limbo A federal judge, today, took the final step in allowing the current admin. to terminate humanitarian protections for 350k Haitians in the US. — WaPo

Freeing people from immigration detention, dismantling the criminal legal & immigration systems, and fighting to end pretrial & immigration detention.
ICE, there's enough blood on your hands. Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo should be alive today. We are tired of seeing community members die from preventable death in the hands of the govt. We demand a full investigation into Edwin's death, & the closure of Delaney Hall. #AbolishICE
On Aug. 1, an ambulance transported Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo of Plainfield, NJ from ICE Custody in Delaney Hall to a hospital. The hospital called his mum Maria Cornejo to report that Edwin had arrived deceased and asked her to identify him.
We paid three $30,000 bonds to secure people's release from ICE Detention. Until immigration detention ends, communities will continue stepping in where the system fails. It took as many as three organizations to gather enough money to pay these bonds.
A woman traveling home to New York City was detained by ICE at an airport on the west coast because of an expired visa overstay. Envision Freedom Fund has now received a bond request to help secure her release. Her case is not an isolated incident.
As we come to the end of July we thought to share with you the total number of people we've released from ICE detention this month, and so far this year: 💛41 people💛 this month alone, and 303 people released in 2026 (YTD) so far.
Call your U.S. Senators and urge them to co-sponsor Senate Bill 4814, legislation that would extend Temporary Protected Status for Haitians until after January 20, 2029. Your voice matters. Stand with Haitian families fighting for safety, dignity, and freedom. #TPS #ImmigrantJustice
ICE’s latest detention data confirms what we've been witnessing in our communities: immigration detention is expanding at an unprecedented scale. #FreeThemAll
New York is taking steps to end local participation in federal immigration enforcement. The AG's office notified 12 local agencies to end their agreements with ICE by Aug. 25. https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2026/attorney-general-james-and-governor-hochul-announce-first-enforcement-action-new
This week, we were able to free more people from ICE detention than we did last week.
Before the day ends, we wanted to share a few messages that made our day. 💛 Yesterday, we received these notes from members of our community: one celebrating a new job, another expressing gratitude after their partner received commissary support while in detention.
Have an immigration court hearing coming up? You may be scheduled for a Mega Master Calendar Hearing without knowing it until you arrive at court.
4 people freed from the inhumanity of ICE detention this week. Onward.
Access to medical care inside detention is inconsistent and often delayed or denied, leaving people to manage illness on their own while also dealing with unsafe or spoiled food. Free Them All.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo & Joan Sebastian Guerrero should still be alive. The 52 people who died in ICE custody since 2025 should still be alive. Our communities should not live in terror, wondering if their loved ones will come home. ICE is a threat to our safety & our humanity.
"Because of your help, my brother is going to finally get to meet his newborn child in person for the first time." Every bond we pay is about more than release. It’s about reunification, healing, and moments that can never be replaced.
We are proud to have freed 9 of our neighbors from detention this week and remain determined to free as many people as possible — in the face of multiple bond requests over $45,000 bonds and excessive administrative delays.
Inside detention, commissary is what makes the basics bearable: a warm drink, food that is actually edible, a small sense of choice. $30 doesn’t go far when it has to cover both calls & meals. However, people in detention are extremely grateful for the support. Donate: 🔗 in Bio
Since last year, thousands of immigrants have been held in mandatory detention across the U.S. with no pathway out, a clear violation of due process. This ruling is a resounding "no" to the question of whether the gvmt can indefinitely imprison someone without justification.
In case you need a reminder: Envision Freedom Fund is on a mission to free people from ICE Cages, and end detention altogether. completely. totally. And we are not backing down. Free Them All.
As we head into the 4th of July weekend, we've paid bonds to free 9 of our neighbors from cages, leveraging $161,000 to bring them back home. One bond we paid (in collaboration with a partner and the family) was $50,000. While our neighbors remain detained, there is no celebrating freedom.
During a recent Envision Freedom Fund mental health support meeting, participants spoke about the emotional toll of living under constant surveillance. They described feeling watched, restricted, and unable to fully move forward even after leaving detention.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 vote to uphold birthright citizenship. This is a meaningful victory that reinforces something we already know: the U.S. is a country of immigrants (by choice, by violence, by forced hand, by the human desire for safety and opportunity).
There's a new shift in ICE release practices. When A.J., whom Envision helped secure release from detention in May, rushed to the hospital for the birth of his child on the same day he was released, his ankle monitor created stressful delays at hospital security.
We had to deliver heartbreaking news to a family seeking help to bring their loved one home that the immigration bond order they received was fraudulent. We're sharing this fake bond order so community members can learn warning signs and protect themselves from similar scams.
We are proud to share that we freed 10 of our neighbors this week from ICE detention, bringing us to 39 people freed this month and 258 (!!!) people freed in 2026. These are more than numbers. Every person freed is a universe — a whole person, a vital part of their community.
Every month, our Commissary Fund helps people in immigration detention access basic necessities that detention facilities fail to provide.
Immigration judges continue to set bonds at these staggering levels, placing the freedom of parents, family members, and loved ones far beyond what most people can realistically afford.
Fraudsters have taken advantage of immigrants, sent fake notices of immigration bonds to families promising their loved ones’ freedom, often for a high price. Here’s how to tell if the U.S. govt. is truly offering to free your loved one, or if you have been the victim of a scam.
There is no sound quite like that of parents rightfully reuniting with their children. Listen for yourself in this video clip. #FathersDay
