Carmona-Lorenzo v. Trump

ICE agents detained Sabina Carmona-Lorenzo and dozens of her coworkers in the June 2025 raid at Glenn Valley Foods in Omaha. Although an immigration court judge granted Carmona-Lorenzo release on bond in July, she remains in detention due to an automatic stay issued by ICE . Her lawsuit argues that her continued detention extends beyond ICE's legal authority and violates her right to due process. We are seeking her release on bond so that she can reunite with her family and help take care of her children. Carmona-Lorenzo has been in the United States for more than 25 years. She and her husband have five children, all of whom are U.S. citizens. Three are minors. One of the adult children is currently in college but is now considering pausing his education to help support his family. The other is serving in the military.

Reynosa Jacinto v. Trump

We are working to reunite an Omaha woman with her daughter. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detained Maria Reynosa Jacinto in the June 2025 Omaha Glenn Valley Foods worksite raid. In July, an Omaha immigration court judge set Reynosa Jacinto’s bond at $9,000. When the Prairielands Freedom Fund tried to post bond for her, they learned ICE had issued an automatic stay on her release, blocking her bond from being posted. Reyosa Jacinto v. Trump argues that ICE's automatic stay unlawfully violates the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment and extends beyond ICE’s authority by overriding an immigration court judge’s individualized decision on bond, making any considerations of danger or flight risk meaningless, and allowing lengthy and potentially indefinite detention.
