Release Abraham From Detention

Release Abraham Hernandez from immigration detention.

Why is this important?

On Sunday the 7th of October our brother Abraham Hernandez was detained and arrested in Millard County, Utah where he was kept on an Immigration hold. From there he was transferred to a detention center in Logan, Utah where he waits to see a judge that may grant him release.

Abraham is not only our loving brother but also a compassionate, valued and vital part of our community . As a water protector and land defender, he is constantly looking for ways to lend his many skills to the local community to help build the autonomous world we all want to see. His dedication to environmental justice and indigenous sovereignty has also made him a crucial asset to the support and resistance in the four-corners area.

Abraham has spent the last few years of his life in solidarity with many indigenous communities in turtle island, including the Standing Rock struggle. Engaging in regional organizing in the southwest is especially important to Abraham as it is the place where he resides. Abraham was arrested while on his way back to camp, where he frequently spends months at time dedicated to land defense and to the protection of sacred water and indigenous ways of life. We ask that you may support our community effort to gather resources to guarantee the safety and intentional protection of Abraham, as well as sign our petition.

How it will be delivered

Selected letters will be submitted as part of Abraham's bond request in front of the immigration judge.
