In a much needed victory for our communities, on November 12, a federal judge ruled that up to 615 people could be eligible for release on bond or Alternatives to Detention, in addition to 13 people who are eligible for immediate release.
This progress is only possible because Rapid Response Teams and community members across Illinois continue to document ICE and CBP activity. Your vigilance is saving lives.
But there’s more work to do to keep our communities safe, informed, and intact.
🔍 Stay tuned for more information on how families can check eligibility for relief under this week’s ruling.

🚨 Actualización sobre el Acuerdo Castañon-Nava para la Liberación de Cientos de Miembros Detenidos de la Comunidad
En una victoria muy necesaria para nuestras comunidades, el 12 de noviembre un juez federal determinó que hasta 615 personas podrían ser elegibles para su liberación bajo fianza o Alternativas a la Detención, además de 13 personas que son elegibles para liberación inmediata.
Este avance solo es posible gracias a que los Equipos de Respuesta Rápida y miembros de la comunidad en todo Illinois continúan documentando la actividad de ICE y CBP. Su vigilancia está salvando vidas.
Pero aún queda mucho por hacer para mantener a nuestras comunidades seguras, informadas y unidas.
🔍 Pronto compartiremos más información sobre cómo las familias pueden verificar su elegibilidad para recibir alivio bajo esta decisión.
