It's so important that we create this opportunity for communities in the Midwest. Using bond agencies is often not an option. Many companies, like Libre by Nexus, charge high interest rates or require the individual to wear an ankle monitor. Libre by Nexus has been under investigation in the past. Univision News analyzed 5,000 immigration bonds and determined that the average bond was $8,681, but if a Libre by Nexus client were to ask for that amount, they could wear an ankle monitor for up to 2 years and pay almost $4,000 more.

This is not the way to help the immigrant community. We need to #FreeThemAll and #EndDetention. The Midwest Immigrant Bond Fund will begin posting bonds for folks in the Midwest in just THREE days! One way you can help us continue to do this is to help low-income immigrant families pay bonds for their loved ones to be released. Please consider signing up to make a donation of $21 each month to help release individuals in 2021!
