Free Our Friends.
We exist to fight unjust detention, cover legal fees, support separated families, and stand up for people who have no one else in their corner.
Take ActionNearly 90% of ICE detainees at North Lake have no criminal record. These are workers, parents, neighbors — people doing everything right. We refuse to look away.

What We Stand For
Four pillars that guide everything we do.
Justice
We believe every person deserves due process and fair treatment under the law, regardless of their immigration status.
Protection
We work to protect families from unjust separation by covering legal fees and providing advocacy.
Community
We support the families left behind — helping them stay stable while their loved ones fight for freedom.
Humanity
We reject the narrative that immigrants are criminals. We stand for facts, compassion, and human dignity.
89.62%
of North Lake ICE detainees have no criminal record
The Reality
Across Michigan and the country, documented immigrants — people with driver's licenses, work permits, and social security numbers — are being swept up by ICE, separated from their families, and detained indefinitely with no direct access to legal support.
Parents are being ripped from their children. Mothers are giving birth alone. Families are collapsing under the weight of legal fees and lost income — all while the person they love sits behind bars having committed no crime.
Free My Friends exists to change that. We cover legal fees and provide support for families left behind. We are a lifeline when the system has turned its back.
How We Help
Legal Support
We cover attorney fees so detainees can file for due process and have their case heard fairly in court.
Family Aid
We support the families left behind — providing stability and resources while their loved one fights for freedom.
Community
We connect families with local resources, advocates, and community members who can help in practical ways.
