Pangea, in parallel with partner organizations around the Bay Area, California, and nationally, has been at the forefront of a new wave of habeas litigation aimed at securing the freedom of our community members.

❤️‍🔥We took on 11 habeas cases in the last year, a 300 percent increase over the last 5 years. Pangea has also grown into providing mentorship and technical assistance for partner organizations and law firms.

Habeas is a vital part of Pangea’s larger work of building immigrant communities’ power through organizing.

🗞️ While 2025 was one of our most challenging yet, Pangea met the cruelty of the political moment with the same courage and conviction we've shared since day one. We remain grounded in the lived experiences of our clients and community as the foundation of our growing political home.

Hi everyone,
Many of you may recognize the name Guillermo, an organizer, tattoo artist from San Jose, and deeply loved member of our community. We’ve reached out before in support of him, and today we are facing another urgent moment in his case.

Guillermo is someone who has poured his heart into this community. Whether you know him personally, have seen his art, or have simply heard his name in our shared spaces, he is one of ours.

We are calling on our community to take action:

Guillermo's bond hearing is happening this Friday, Jan 23, 2026 at 630 Sansome Street in San Francisco. The rally will start at 12p and the hearing is scheduled at 1pm. This is a very important moment for Guillermo because an Immigration Judge will soon determine whether Guillermo keeps his freedom or is taken back into ICE custody.

We will be holding a rally at the same time as the hearing, so whether you are able to enter the courtroom or join us outside in the streets, your presence will matter! It is our opportunity to stand in solidarity and to make clear that our community is united, organized and not backing down. We are fighting back with courage and hope for our community members and loved ones.

Please join us if you can, and share this invitation with your friends, allies and loved ones who care about justice and about our community.

Hola a todes,

Muchas personas quizá reconozcan el nombre de Guillermo, un organizador, tatuador en el area de San Jose y miembro profundamente querido de nuestra comunidad. Ya nos hemos comunicado antes para pedir apoyo para él, y hoy enfrentamos otro momento urgente en su caso.

Guillermo es alguien que ha entregado su corazón a esta comunidad. Ya sea que lo conozcan personalmente, hayan visto su arte o simplemente hayan escuchado su nombre en nuestros espacios compartidos, él es uno de los nuestros.

Estamos llamando a nuestra comunidad a tomar acción:

La audiencia de fianza de Guillermo se llevará a cabo este viernes 23 de enero de 2026 en 630 Sansome Street, en San Francisco. El mitin comenzará a las 12:00 p.m. y la audiencia está programada para la 1:00 p.m. Este es un momento muy importante para Guillermo, ya que una jueza de inmigración decidirá si Guillermo mantiene su libertad o si es arrestado de nuevo bajo custodia de ICE.

Estaremos realizando una manifestacion al mismo tiempo que la audiencia, así que ya sea que puedan entrar a la sala del tribunal o acompañarnos afuera en las calles, ¡su presencia SI importa! Esta es nuestra oportunidad de mostrar solidaridad y dejar claro que nuestra comunidad está unida, organizada y no va a retroceder. Estamos luchando con valentía y esperanza por nuestras comunidades y seres queridos.

Únanse si pueden, y compartan esta invitación con sus amistades, aliades y seres queridos que se preocupan por la justicia y por nuestra comunidad.
