Even as ICE raids increase, our community keeps fighting back. 3 more people are free this week because of your continued support! We have now helped free 52 people!

Detention Watch Network is relaunching the #CommunitiesNotCages campaign and renewing the call to shut down ICE detention centers and stop the expansion and construction of new facilities.

Good news...we recently got two bonds back from the government! This is what makes MIBF a revolving fund. When you donate, your support doesn’t stop with one person. It becomes part of a cycle of freedom that continues long after the first bond is paid.

Last week, we paid the bond for the 40th person this year, and it wouldn’t be possible without a powerful, generous community.

On Thursday, MIBF showed up at the world’s largest karaoke event to call for the abolition of ICE detention, while we sing for freedom, Congress just earmarked some $170 billion for immigration and border enforcement related funding.

Two MIBF board members attended the June 18 immigration town hall in Pilsen, where city officials and community groups addressed fears of increased ICE enforcement.

Earlier this month, we spread the word about MIBF at @indygaymarket. We were blown away by the words of encouragement, donations, and the energy you brought to our table.

Thank you @latina.birder, @chicago.BIPOC.birders, & @skunkcabbagebooks for organizing this mornings birds against borders event to help benefit MIBF!

🚨 Another person is FREE thanks to this community! That’s 39 people freed by MIBF in 2025!

🚨Last week, MIBF helped free 1 more person! We could not have done this without you! That brings us to 38 people freed in 2025! 💥

ICE raids are tearing families apart — dads ripped from their kids.

This Father’s Day, help us bring dads home.

We invite interested individuals to apply to become part of MIBF's Board of Directors for the coming board term of July 2025 – June 2026!
