July 14 Solidarity Vigil: Alfredo ‘Lelo’ Juarez Seferino

Editor’s Note: The following newsletter was originally sent out by NDLON on July 9th 2025.

Since his violent detention by ICE in late March, Lelo has remained in federal custody in Tacoma as he attends scheduled hearings with his legal team. Previous attempts to have his case dismissed, or for his release on bond have been dismissed or denied. Monday July 14th is the next scheduled hearing for his case, and we want to let him and everyone else know that we are watching his back.

Farmworkers are being targeted across the county as the federal government enacts their violent policies against immigrants and their families. We have said it before, and will continue to shout loudly: The violence of ICE is a test, to see what we will tolerate, to see how much violence we will turn a blind eye towards. The well-being of farmworkers who put food on our plate every day is not separate from the well-being of the community as whole.

We are watching! We will continue to resist!
