Meet our people, taken
ICE and CBP have abducted our family members, friends, and neighbors, taking them from us for hours, days, or indefinitely. These individuals are parents, artists, caretakers, colleagues, friends—human beings whose lives and relationships did not begin or end with their abduction. We feel and grieve their injury and their absence.
These are people taken from our Minnesota communities. We want them home.

Felix has been our neighbor for twenty years. He is the heart of his family, a devoted father, a loving grandfather to twelve grandchildren. He has been a pillar of our block for the twenty years he has lived here, and anyone who lives on our street knows Felix’s warmth. In the summer, his accordion fills the air, and it’s our signal that we’re welcome to gather, laugh, and celebrate together.
Felix was taken on Jan. 6th and is in El Paso, Texas.

We were planning to get married next year and begin our life together. My fiancé is a kind, hardworking, and loving person who came to this country in search of a better life. He is the main provider for his mother and siblings back in Mexico, supporting them through his dedication and sacrifice.
