Support Immigrants for Humane Immigration who are:
Commissary Support: Deposits to individual commissary accounts so people in ICE detention can buy key supplies and make calls.
Release Support: Limited help with immediate needs upon release, such as a bus ticket home or overnight lodging.
Bond Fund: We maintain a small bond fund, reviewing requests case-by-case, depending on available funds and volunteer capacity.
Paper Bridges: A volunteer letter-writing program connecting people in detention with volunteers through regular correspondence. This program helps break isolation, provides encouragement and monitors for human rights abuses.
