Today, we are launching a campaign to BRING ERASMO HOME.
Erasmo Zavala Almanza is a father, a grandfather, and a devoted caregiver. He is the primary support for his medically fragile one-year-old granddaughter, who survived a shooting that tragically took the life her mother, Erasmo’s daughter.
Despite the grief and pain of losing his own child to domestic violence, Erasmo did what the law asks of victims and their families.
- He cooperated with law enforcement after the murder of his daughter and the attempted murder of his infant granddaughter.
- He helped bring accountability after an act of domestic violence.
- He then applied for a visa based on his cooperation with law enforcement.
Despite this, ICE surveilled him and targeted him for detention. Now, he is imprisoned and facing deportation.
This is not what justice looks like.
We are calling for his immediate release so he can return to his family and continue caring for his granddaughter during the most critical time in her recovery.

Tonight, @aldea_pjc got word that a mother who was unlawfully separated from her daughter and deported away from her during Zero Tolerance, was ordered to be returned and reunited - after being unable to see her child for more than FIVE years. The law still can be so powerful.
@BriiZeiger@ScottFishman@AesPolitics1 ID is not required in IL because that’s done at registration and 2 forms of identification are required and verified. The registration signature must match when you sign for your ballot.
@TimothyDSnyder@AndeLyons Imagine the travel ban that would be placed on Americans by other countries and rightly so. Or back to proof of vaccination requirements like during covid.
When you get in line tomorrow, stay in https://t.co/1jDfsRiJkV long as you’re in line when the poll closes you will be able to vote. Don’t let anyone intimidate you. If someone does,ask for a poll worker,that’s their job, they’ve been trained to handle it https://t.co/VWjQCjDXfD
@KateSullivanDC Remember, as they try to weasel out of this, @TonyHinchcliffe was reading off a teleprompter.
His “jokes” were vetted, approved, and uploaded into the queue.
Not commenting on the election here, just noting that deporting what some estimate at half of all farmworkers in the country is the kind of thing that will cause grocery prices to go UP, not down.
