Someone I know was picked up by ICE in Minneapolis

He's a really nice guy, has been in the US 30 years, built his own business, and speaks perfect English. He also has two babies at home. If you are at all able, please donate:

They need money to hire a lawyer in Texas, where Hugo is being held in a detention center.

Oh, if you don't want to donate to GoFundMe, unclick the tip button. I was doing this hurriedly on my phone and didn't unclick it, and I'm kicking myself. The tips don't go to the family.
