Trying again: Fundraiser for MN father kidnapped by ICE

Hugo was kidnapped by ICE over a week ago. He's been held in a detention center in El Paso, Texas, and his family needs money to pay an immigration lawyer.
Hugo has been in the US for over 30 years. He has a wife and two very small children at home. They need their father. He's the sort of hardworking man that the US holds up as an ideal immigrant, one who speaks English perfectly and contributes to society by building his own business. Despite that, the Trump administration's ICE thugs kidnapped him from his car in the South metro area of the Twin Cities.
Ever since Hugo's kidnapping, his family has been terrified to leave the house, and they've remained home over since. I'm bringing them groceries today, but I'll love to be able to say some more donations for his legal fund have come in.
I've seen a lot of fundraisers that result in huge totals. This one is still short of the amount necessary to pay legal fees. If you can manage a little, please try to donate. Hugo is the face of the policy we all find so abhorrent.
