UFCW 3000 Demands the Release of Alfredo "Lelo" Juarez Zeferino — UFCW 3000 [1]

[]

Date: 2025-03-25

We’re furious over these credible reports of immigration enforcement violently detaining Alfredo “Lelo” Juarez Zeferino, a longtime labor leader who fought for farmworkers and immigrant rights and who helped expose the existence of the very same unmarked ICE facility in Ferndale where he was reportedly held this afternoon.

In response, our union members grabbed bullhorns and traveled directly to the facility to protest this injustice. We will continue to show up to worker-led actions as long as it takes.

By targeting workers like Lelo—and, reportedly, a union lab tech at the University of Washington—the Trump administration clearly aims to terrorize immigrant workers no matter how they came to this country. We will not stand for it.

In response to the call from Community to Community Development, where Juarez served as a movement-builder, contact the Washington Attorney General's Office and demand his release. >> | 360-753-6200

Also, contact the Washington State Governor’s office to demand the same >> | 360-902-4111
