Your donations help cover the cost of Piero’s legal representation, filing fees, and court-related expenses. These funds are critical to ensuring he has the best defense possible and that his case is handled quickly and professionally.
Funds will provide Piero with daily necessities while in detention, including nutritious meals, snacks, and other personal items to maintain his health and well-being.
Your support ensures access to essential healthcare, medications, and medical attention for any health issues that may arise during his detention.
Detention prevents Piero from earning a living. Contributions help relieve immediate financial stress, covering basic bills and helping him stay connected to his life outside.
Detention centers often lack basic hygiene supplies. Donations will provide soap, toothpaste, shampoo, and other sanitation items that are crucial for dignity and health.
Staying in touch with family, friends, and legal representatives is vital. Funds will pay for phone calls, postage, and other communication costs to maintain his connection to the community that loves him.
Piero is someone who has given so much to the people around him. He is caring, generous, and funny — the kind of person who lifts the mood of an entire room.
Since arriving in the U.S. in 2021, he has maintained a stable full-time job in hospitality, supported friends, coworkers, and family in countless ways, always followed the law and attended every check-in, and been a loyal and loving presence to everyone who knows him.
He is not a danger, not a flight risk, and absolutely not a criminal. He is a young man who came seeking safety and has built a life full of purpose, generosity, and love.
Piero arrived in Texas in 2021, warmly welcomed by friends who supported him as he began building a new life. His transition was marked by hope, gratitude, and the determination to contribute positively to his community. Friends quickly became his extended family, helping him navigate the challenges of a new country while offering emotional and practical support.
Two days ago, Piero was detained unexpectedly during a routine ICE check-in, despite his consistent compliance with the law. This sudden detention has caused distress for him and his loved ones, interrupting the stable life he has worked so hard to create. Friends and community members continue to advocate for his prompt release, emphasizing his commitment to following legal procedures.
Life in detention is harsh and uncertain, with limited freedom and constant stress for immigrants like Piero. Many face overcrowded conditions, lack of access to adequate resources, and emotional strain from separation from family and community. Despite these challenges, Piero remains resilient, drawing strength from the support of those who know him and the life he has built outside these walls.
