Grant Humanitarian Parole for Organ-Donor to Save His Brother’s Life
Department of Homeland Security

Jose Gregorio Gonzalez had just finished making breakfast for his younger brother, Alfredo, when he was detained by ICE in Cicero, IL on March 3, 2025. Jose is the only caretaker for Alfredo, who has 100% kidney failure and depends on dialysis 3 times a week from 4 - 8am to survive. The only way to guarantee Alfredo receives a life-saving kidney transplant is for Jose to be a donor. Sign now to urge ICE to temporarily release Jose to allow him to donate his kidney to Alfredo and save his brother’s life.

[Your Name]
We, the undersigned, urgently petition for the release of Jose Gregorio Gonzalez on humanitarian parole, so that he may donate a kidney to his gravely ill brother, Alfredo.
Alfredo has severe kidney failure and his life hangs in the balance – his doctors have confirmed that a kidney transplant is his only hope for survival. Jose Gregorio Gonzalez is willing to undergo the procedure to donate his kidney so that his brother can live. However, Jose’s continued detention prevents this critical medical and life-saving intervention from taking place.
Humanitarian parole exists precisely for urgent and life-threatening situations like this. Denying Jose Gregorio Gonzalez the opportunity to save his brother's life would not only be inhumane but also a failure to uphold the fundamental values of dignity, compassion, and justice.
We implore you to act immediately and grant humanitarian parole to Jose Gregorio Gonzalez, so that he can fulfill this selfless act of love and save his brother's life.
Every moment counts. Please do not let bureaucracy and politics stand in the way of saving a life.
Sincerely,
Signatories in support
