On the morning of Thursday, August 20, 2026, around 8:45 a.m., my cousin Darwin Argueta, just 19 years old, was taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while he was on his way to work.
Darwin recently graduated from high school and is just beginning his life as a young adult. Like many young people his age, he has dreams for his future, wants to work, support his family, and build a better life for himself.
This unexpected situation has been incredibly difficult for Darwin and our entire family. Right now, our priority is getting him home safely and reunited with his loved ones.
We are asking for your help to raise money for Darwin’s immigration bond and the legal expenses associated with his case. We want to make sure we can act as quickly as possible.
Any amount, no matter how small, can make a difference. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, coworkers, and community. Every share helps us reach someone who may be able to help.
Darwin is only 19. He has his whole life ahead of him, and right now, our family is doing everything we can to bring him home.
Thank you for taking the time to read Darwin’s story, for your support, prayers, and generosity. We truly appreciate every person who stands with our family during this difficult time.
Please help us bring Darwin home. ❤️
