'This is the largest organized effort to pay this many immigration bonds in one day,' said RAICES Accompaniment and Bond Coordinator Blake Vera.
Immigration advocates are declaring November 20"Fall Freedom Day," as they work to see as many as 200 immigration detainees bonded out of federal custody before the end of the day in a $2.1 million initiative.on Wednesday, Blake Vera, the accompaniment and bond coordinator at the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services , said he was watching in"real-time" as bond payments were accepted at U.S.
However, Vera said, participation in"Fall Freedom Day" goes even further than that, with volunteers across the country dedicating their time, money and even air miles to seeing detained immigrants released and transported safely to where they need to be. According to Vera, the initiative is expected to see immigration detainees released across several states, including Texas, New York, California, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Arizona.is just how high the bond payments can be for some immigrant detainees.
As a result, Vera said, many immigrants spend more time in immigration detention than they would if they had smaller bonds to pay."So, if you have a judge that has had a bad day, he can set a bond at $80,000," Vera said."The system is completely arbitrary."
