We demand accountability for this shooting and demand the release of the man who was wounded and abducted by ICE.

Envision Freedom Fund @envfreefund.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

ICE continues to cause damage in our communities and instill fear of being shot, detained, or separated from their loved ones simply because they encounter immigration enforcement officers.

This is what immigration enforcement looks like in our communities: armed federal agents, disguised in construction vests and masks, carrying out operations that put people’s lives at risk. We are outraged.

After being hospitalized for his injuries, the 28-year-old man who ICE shot in Marble Hill near the Bronx yesterday has been taken into ICE custody and transferred to a detention facility outside New York State. We must also not forget a 5-yr-old was inside the vehicle when the shooting happened.

A transfer to another state does not necessarily mean the bond cannot be paid. If ICE has issued a bond order, keep the paperwork and try to complete the payment process. Questions? Email us: info@envisionfreedom.org

If ICE granted your loved one a $7,500 bond before transferring them out of New Jersey, you may still be able to pay that bond online through CeBONDS.

¿Trasladaron a su ser querido a otro estado? Si ICE le otorgó una fianza de $7,500 antes de trasladarlo fuera de Nueva Jersey, es posible que aún pueda pagarla en línea a través de CeBONDs.

Behind every release are several moving pieces: getting bonds paid, coordinating with families and attorneys, supporting people after release, creating communications, balancing the books, and answering calls on our hotline from people who are still inside detention.

It takes our entire team to get this work done—from our bond duo and finance manager to our post-release team, advocates, and the person writing this post—to keep this work moving.

We secured the release of 73 people from ICE detention in September—thanks to your support. They are now returning, or beginning the process of returning, to their families and communities. At least 40 of the people we bonded out had bonds set at $7,500 by ICE officers.

Envision Freedom Fund @envfreefund.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

His release was made possible because people showed up for him, and because our community came together to make freedom possible. Your support helps us keep paying bonds and bringing people home: envisionfreedom.org/donate

His bond was set at $50,000. Envision covered half, while his friends and family came together to cover the remaining $25,000. He was detained at Buffalo Federal Detention Facility in Batavia, New York.

Wow! After we put out our call last week, we got donations from you! We paid 20 bonds in total last week, and 11 of those were $7,500 bonds set by ICE officers. BUT, 21 more PEOPLE are still waiting in detention right now because they can't pay these bonds.

We have an opportunity to free MORE people, quickly—but only if we have the funds to pay their $7,500 bonds: envisionfreedom.org/donate

Envision Freedom Fund @envfreefund.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

We saw the impact immediately. Envision Freedom Fund has paid bonds for more than 30 people set at $7,500 by ICE agents, and many were detained in New Jersey. That $7,500 amount stands in stark contrast to the $30k–$50k bonds we had been seeing in recent months.

Instead, many are entitled to a bond hearing. The ruling applies throughout the Third Circuit, covering New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

In Case You Missed It: Three weeks ago, the Third Circuit ruled that people who are already in the United States and detained in the interior cannot be automatically held without bond under the government’s interpretation of immigration law.

Envision Freedom Fund @envfreefund.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Note that in the past three weeks, many people detained at Delaney Hall in New Jersey have been released on $7,500 immigration bonds set by ICE officers, following a court case in the Third Circuit late last month.

Envision Freedom Fund @envfreefund.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

ICE officers indeed have the authority to make the initial bond/custody determination and set a bond amount for people who they deem eligible for release on bond.

Envision Freedom Fund @envfreefund.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

ICE officers are setting bonds at $7,500. In just 2 weeks, we’ve paid 27 of these bonds, and people are being released within days of their arrest. 🚨 This is an emergency. We have an opportunity to free MORE people, quickly—but only if we have the funds to pay their $7,500 bonds

Once a week, in a Queens office building, a group of immigrants in their 50s and 60s gathers. They've all known each other for some 25 years: they met when they were cleaning up ground zero together. Article: NPR/Jasmine Garsd

They were all exposed to toxic debris, and psychological trauma. And as the current administration pursues its aggressive immigration agenda, many are living in enhanced fear of immigration enforcement.

Many of the workers who rushed to the destruction in lower Manhattan following the attacks of 9/11 were immigrants and as many as 6,000 of them were undocumented. www.npr.org/2026/09/11/nx-s1-596555…

We remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001. We also remember the communities who came together in the aftermath, and the harm caused when grief and fear were turned against immigrants and racial and ethnic communities.

A court ruling can change what’s possible, but it takes a bond fund like ours to turn that possibility into people coming home. We are running out of funds and need your support: envisionfreedom.org/donate

These 19 people can now return home to their families & communities. Yesterday, we were outside Delaney Hall as people welcomed their loved ones. The ruling represents a significant shift for people who previously could be detained without an opportunity to ask a judge for bond.

Envision Freedom Fund @envfreefund.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

This week, Envision Freedom Fund paid bond for 19 people. Fourteen of those 19 had their bonds set at $7,500 by an immigration judge, and many were detained in New Jersey. The $7,500 amount stands in stark contrast to the $30,000–$50,000 bonds we had been seeing in recent months.

The online system for posting bonds brings its own maze of technical problems, delays, and opaque processes. It is amidst all of these hurdles that we operate every single week.

Envision Freedom Fund @envfreefund.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

In New York City, the ICE bond office arbitrarily imposes a one-day delay before accepting payment for a bond and has sometimes turned away families attempting to post bond in person.

Envision Freedom Fund @envfreefund.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Some immigration judges regularly set unaffordably high bonds or deny bond without transparency. Others require people to find a “sponsor” before they can be released, even when the bond money is already secured.

110

Envision Freedom Fund @envfreefund.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

And getting someone out of detention isn’t always as simple as having the money to pay their bond. Every week, we encounter barriers created by immigration authorities at nearly every stage of the bond process.

Envision Freedom Fund @envfreefund.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

When the legal advocacy community ramped up habeas operations in federal district courts, we saw a swift and steady rise in bond requests, reaching nearly 100 requests in March. Now, we’ve reached a new sustained high point: more than 90 requests in three of the past five months.

Envision Freedom Fund @envfreefund.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

18 people are going home. 💜 This week, we successfully paid bonds for 18 people who can now return home to their loved ones. But as more people are detained, the need for bond support continues to grow.
