Jose Fernando Chavez: "My statement is I want to say thanks to the public for their support. I’m from El Salvador. I was born in the time of war in El Salvador. When I was 8 years old, my father passed away. I have five siblings. I have three sisters and two brothers. My mom could not take care of us. I was kicked out of the house. I was raised in the streets. I learned how to survive on my own. Imagine, a kid who was only 8 years old. I would throw away trash to make a bit of money  In 2021, I came to the U.S to look for help. I continue to thank God for helping me come to the U.S after the many years of suffering that I went through in El Salvador. Once I got here, I made sure to push forward. I worked. I lived in Seattle, WA. I would help out my family. I never committed a crime here. But they got me. I was driving one day, but a police car pulled me over. I didn’t know much know English. I understood that they were asking me for my documents. I gave the police officer my ID. This is when the police officer called ICE. They told me to wait in my car. They handcuffed me and brought me here to the detention center in Tacoma. I’ve been here for 2 years. I hope my statement can reach the right people because I’m not the only one who is suffering, my wife and two kids are also suffering as well. Please help me by providing me support this way I can have a second chance in life and be with my family."

Pedro Cantu Rios: "My statement is I had an appointment for a physical check. I was told that I needed some medication, but it took a while for the detention center to give it to me. I got the medication a few days ago on October 9th. It took them about 40 days to give it to me. I need to take the medication for 30 days because I’m suffering a lot of pain in my body. I don’t have any family here in Washington State, all my family is in Texas. But I would like the public to hear and help me with my case. I’m 67 years old who has been at the detention center for about two years now. I deserve to be out of here and with my family." Free Pedro Now!!

“My name is Nur Sheikh-Elmi, and I have been detained for over two years. Two years of my life have been spent behind bars, separated from my family, fighting against a system that seems determined to forget me. I am not just a name on a file, I am a brother, a son, and a human being, and I need your help to be heard. I am facing deportation to Kenya, a country I am not a citizen of and where I fear for my life. I was born in Somalia, and I’ve done everything I can to prove that. Despite DNA evidence and the testimony of my family, I remain trapped, waiting for a system that seems to view my life as disposable. But I refuse to be forgotten. This fight is not just about me. It’s about the countless others who are stuck in this detention, people who are being torn from their families, people who are being silenced. My family has fought relentlessly for my freedom, but we can’t do this alone. We need your voice, your strength, and your solidarity. I am calling on you—everyone who believes in justice, in humanity, in standing up for what is right—to help stop my deportation. Sign the petition, share my story, raise your voice. Together, we can break through the silence. Together, we can stand against this injustice. I believe that with your support, I can reunite with my family and reclaim my life. I refuse to give up hope, and with you by my side, I know we can win this fight.”

Sergio Rosales Gonzalez: "My statement is in every other detention center I’ve been to, one thing I can definitely say is compared to the center here in Tacoma. They allowed me to keep my shoes or they gave me special shoes due to my feet problem because I can’t wear regular shoes. Since I’ve been here, I’ve been approved for medical attention but the Tacoma center continues to fail to provide me with what I need. Just two days ago, I got special shoes due to me pushing them to give it to me. It’s what you need to do here. If you don’t advocate for yourself, if you need any medical attention they will not do anything...Some people here get intimidated by ICE officers. I don’t. I stand up for myself because I have kids that need me. I want to show them that I’m not afraid to speak up for what is right. I am a changed man. My wife and kids know who I truly am...I personally do not know what to do anymore since the communication here is not the best. I’m lost, which is why I’m here. I want the public to help me tell the center that I deserve to be released. I just want to be with my family. My family needs me. My wife and four kids. They continue to ask me when I’m coming home. I need to be out there with my family." Free Sergio Now!!

I’m passionate about this because it’s not just a legal issue—it’s about a person’s life. Nur is my brother, and he’s been stuck in detention for over two years. Imagine the toll that would take on anyone, especially someone who’s already been through so much. He’s Somali, but ICE is trying to deport him to Kenya, a place where he has no legal status and where he’s faced police brutality before. That’s like sending him into harm’s way, knowing he won’t be safe. He used a Kenyan passport once because there wasn’t a safer or realistic option at the time. That shouldn’t be held against him now when all the evidence proves he’s Somali. He needs to be released to be with us while this situation is resolved. I’m fighting for his life, his safety, and his right to fair treatment. This isn’t just about Nur; it’s a reality for countless refugees and immigrants who face unjust deportations every day because of flawed paperwork or bureaucratic indifference. Helping Nur means standing up for the principle that people should not be sent to places where they face real danger. It’s about making sure the system doesn’t overlook the humanity in every case like his.

PNAP embodies two essential truths: the urgent need to abolish all prisons while simultaneously advocating for the dignity and humanity of those currently imprisoned. We strive to achieve this by advocating for the freedom of incarcerated individuals and offering programs that celebrate their stories, art, and spirit. Over the past thirteen years, students in our program have highlighted that the most significant impact has come from the strong community they have built with their peers. These transfers by IDOC threaten to dismantle this crucial support network, further exacerbating the hardships of incarceration. Prisons are not environments conducive to reform and this scheduled transfer is proof of that. They exacerbate suffering by dispersing student communities, separating families by nearly 350 miles, and jeopardizing medical care. These practices underscore the punitive nature of the prison system. Governor Pritzker has the authority to end this cycle of punishment by halting the transfers and engaging in discussions with IDOC to relocate all our students to Hill Correctional Center. PLEASE CLICK THE LINK HERE TO VOICE YOUR OPINION AND HELP US HALT THESE TRANSFERS IMMEDIATELY.

Darrell has taken numerous legal actions against his incarceration on the basis of police torture. Most recently, his case was heard by the IL Supreme Court. They upheld a lower court's decision that Darrell did not pass the threshold to prove he qualified for support under the Torture Inquiry Relief Commission. We are calling on Kim Foxx and the State’s Attorney Office to re-open Darrell’s case. Sign the petition to encourage her to meet with lawyers from the Exoneration Project to discuss Darrell Fair’s case.
