Borderless Impaction

08/29/2026

Well y’all, apparently 3 million undocumented immigrants are gone.

Quick check in! 👀

Y’all got jobs now?
Groceries cheap?
Gas prices dropping?
Did rent go back down?
Are houses affordable again?

No???? 🤯

Well s**t 🫪

It’s almost as if Jorge wasn’t the one to blame to begin with…

So anyway, who we blaming next??? 👀

👏🏼 Well said.

If this message offends you, then perhaps it’s time to ask yourself why. And if you truly believe compassion, critical thinking, and basic human decency are weaknesses, you’re welcome to remove yourself from my friends list. I have no desire to surround myself with people who refuse to be open-minded or unwilling to understand experiences beyond their own.

Those of us living in mixed-status families understand something many people refuse to acknowledge: a nation can have secure borders while also upholding the laws that exist to protect people. Those two things are not mutually exclusive. My husband—and countless others—deserve the due process and legal protections our laws provide.

If you’re genuinely curious, ask questions. Better yet, do what I’ve spent the last nine months doing while my husband has been detained: research. Read the laws. Follow the cases. Learn the difference between opinion and fact. Immigration law is one of the most complex areas of law in this country. It changes constantly, and the amount of misinformation being spread is staggering. It’s no wonder so many people have strong opinions about something they have never taken the time to understand.

This isn’t political theater for my family. This is our life.

It’s watching our children cry for their father. It’s missed birthdays, missed milestones, financial hardship, emotional trauma, and waking up every single day wondering when our family will finally be together again.

I wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone.

Before judging families like mine, remember that behind every headline and every case number is a real family fighting to stay whole.

“One nation under God.”

Maybe it’s time we started acting like it—with justice, compassion, truth, and mercy.

🚨 STOP SCROLLING. If you have family in ICE detention, you NEED to hear this. 🚨

Scammers are now targeting immigrant families during some of the hardest moments of their lives.

They’ll call pretending to be ICE or another government agency and tell you your loved one can be released—but only if you send money immediately.

They count on one thing: panic.

💔 Imagine getting that call when your husband, wife, parent, or child is already in detention. In that moment, many people would do anything to help. That’s exactly what these scammers are counting on.

Please remember:
🚫 ICE does NOT call demanding money for someone’s release.
🚫 They do NOT ask for gift cards, Cash App, Zelle, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers.
🚫 Anyone demanding immediate payment is trying to scam you.

A recent news story featured a woman who lost money after falling victim to this exact type of scam. It serves as an important reminder that these scams are real and families need to stay alert.

If you get a call like this:
✅ Hang up.
✅ Verify your loved one’s location through official channels or their attorney.
✅ Never send money because of a phone call.
✅ Warn your family and friends.

Please share this post. Someone you know may receive this call tomorrow, and this information could prevent them from becoming the next victim.

Let’s protect our community by spreading facts—not fear. ❤️

Waiting on Home ❤️

This photo is a reminder of what we’re praying so hard for—our family to be whole again.

Every day our children ask when their daddy is coming home. Every day we hold onto hope that we’re one day closer to hearing the words we’ve been waiting for.

We’ve fought for months, and now we’re simply waiting. The case is fully before the Court, and there is nothing left for us to do except trust, pray, and believe. Our hearts are hopeful that this upcoming week will be the week our prayers are answered and Ever finally walks through our front door where he belongs.

Please keep Ever in your prayers this week. Pray for wisdom, justice, and compassion. Pray for strength as we continue to wait, and pray that our children get the miracle they’ve been longing for—their daddy home.

No family should have to count the days like this, but we are holding tightly to our faith that God’s timing is always perfect.

We’re believing that this is the week.

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” – Psalm 34:18 ❤️🙏🏽🏡

This… 😔

This was Ever.

A little boy who didn’t choose where he was born.
A little boy who didn’t choose the decisions adults made for him.
A little boy who didn’t know anything about immigration laws, visas, or legal status.

He only knew the place his parents believed would give him a better future.

Ever came to the United States as a child. He grew up here. This country became his home. He went to school here, worked here, paid taxes, built a life here, fell in love here, married here, and became the father of our three beautiful American children.

Today, many people see only the word “immigrant.”

I see the little boy who became the man my children look up to every day.

Somewhere along the way, we’ve allowed politics to make us forget that children don’t create immigration policy. They don’t choose where they’re born, and they don’t decide how they’re brought here.

Yet years later, many are still paying the price for decisions they never had the power to make.

You can believe in enforcing immigration laws. I understand that.

But I hope we never lose the ability to see the human being behind the case.

Behind every file is a story.
Behind every detention is a family.
Behind every headline are children praying for their parent to come home.

Our three children don’t see a political issue. They see their dad. They see the man who tucked them into bed, coached them through life, made them laugh, and loved them unconditionally. Every day he’s gone is another day they carry a hurt they never asked for.

Before you judge someone by a label, remember this little boy.

He didn’t grow up to become a statistic.

He grew up to become an amazing husband, an incredible father, and a man who has spent most of his life calling America home.

No matter where you stand on immigration, I hope we can all agree on one thing:

No child should have their humanity forgotten simply because of where they were born or the choices made for them before they were old enough to understand them.

As each day passes, I truly believe we are getting one step closer to having Ever home where he belongs. We continue to trust God’s timing, even when the waiting feels long.

Today, I’m also praying for our attorney—that God continues to give her wisdom, peace, and unwavering strength. Not only for our family, but for every person and every family she is fighting for. May He continue to equip her with the courage to stand up against wrongful detention and to keep doing the incredible work she does. She has never backed down from a fight, and I pray she continues to be the fearless, relentless advocate so many families desperately need.

We’re not giving up. We’re holding onto hope, standing in faith, and believing that breakthrough is coming. Ever’s homecoming feels closer than ever. 🙏

Happy Independence Day! 250years! 🇺🇸

As we celebrate the Fourth of July, it’s worth remembering that America’s story has always been shaped by people from many different backgrounds. The fight for independence involved colonists of European descent, free and enslaved Black Americans, Native American nations who made different choices during the conflict, immigrants who had settled in the colonies, and allies from abroad. History is more complex than the idea that any one group alone secured America’s freedom.

Our nation’s founding was built on ideals of liberty, self-government, and the belief that people should have a voice in their future. While those ideals were not fully extended to everyone in 1776, generations of Americans have continued working to make the country live up to those principles.

Today, we celebrate not only our independence, but also the diversity of the people who have contributed to building and strengthening this nation over the past 250 years. Remembering our full history helps us appreciate both how far we’ve come and the work that continues.

Wishing everyone a safe, meaningful, and happy Fourth of July. God bless America.

As many of you know, our family has been fighting for my husband, Ever, since he was taken into immigration detention. We are still waiting on the federal judge to make a decision in his habeas case. While we continue to pray for good news, the waiting has become one of the hardest parts of this journey.

Many people have asked, “What happens next?”

The truth is, we don’t know exactly what the judge will decide. One possible outcome is that Ever could be granted a bond hearing. While that would be an incredible step forward, it would also bring additional legal expenses and the possibility of having to post an immigration bond to bring him home. That means our financial burden could actually increase before it gets better.

I also want to help clear up a common misconception. An immigration bond is not the same as posting bail in a criminal case.

With a criminal case, many people are familiar with using a bail bondsman, where you may only have to pay around 10% of the bond amount upfront, depending on the circumstances and local practices. Immigration bonds generally do not work that way. If an immigration judge sets a bond, the full bond amount generally must be paid to secure the person’s release. For many families, that can mean coming up with thousands—or even tens of thousands—of dollars all at once. It can be an overwhelming financial burden, especially after months of living on a single income.

It’s also important to understand that an immigration bond does not end the case or mean that someone has “won.” It simply allows a person to be released from immigration detention while they continue attending immigration court, complying with all court requirements, and fighting their case. The legal process continues until the immigration courts reach a final decision.

At the same time, life hasn’t stopped. I am doing everything I can to provide for our three children while working full-time, paying our bills, keeping a roof over our heads, and making sure Ever has money for basic necessities while he remains in detention. Every week that passes without him home places more financial and emotional strain on our family.

Asking for help has never been easy for me. I’ve always believed in working hard and taking care of my family. But this has become bigger than what I can carry alone.

If you are able to donate—whether it’s $5, $25, or simply sharing our GoFundMe—it truly makes a difference. Every act of kindness helps relieve some of the pressure and allows me to continue caring for our children while we fight to bring Ever home.

No family should have to face something like this alone, but through your generosity, prayers, and encouragement, you’ve reminded us that compassion still exists. Every donation, every share, and every prayer gives us hope and helps us continue this fight.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our family, for standing beside us, and for helping us keep moving forward. We remain hopeful that one day soon, Ever will be back where he belongs—with his wife and our three children.

With love and gratitude,

Chelsea, Ever, Victoria, Camila, and Everett ❤️

Asking for prayers, positive thoughts, and hope over the next few days for our family.

Yesterday marked 3 months since we filed Ever’s federal habeas case, and on July 5th he will reach 8 months in immigration detention. It has been an incredibly long and difficult journey for all of us.

While every case is different, it has been hard watching others receive answers and relief in a matter of weeks or a few months while we continue to wait. Through it all, Ever has remained strong, hopeful, and committed to our family.

We are praying that relief is finally granted and that Ever is allowed to come home to us while we continue fighting his immigration case through the proper legal channels. Our children need their father. Our family needs to be together.

We know this fight isn’t over, but we are asking God for a breakthrough and for justice, mercy, and compassion to prevail. Eight months is too long. Three months waiting on a habeas decision is too long. Enough is enough.

Please keep Ever, our children, our attorney, and the federal judge reviewing his case in your prayers. We are holding onto faith that good news is coming soon.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, prayed for us, and stood beside us during this difficult chapter. ❤️🙏
