Everybody looks out for one another. Everybody has each other’s back. We are all here for each other.”Castillo said residents offered to help parents who were afraid to leave their homes.“If you need to get inside, get inside,” Castillo recalled neighbors telling one another. “If you need help getting your kids from school, let us know.”Volunteers assist families and people released from detentionSupport for families affected by immigration enforcement extends beyond West Park.The Valley Watch Network has volunteers outside the Fresno ICE facility nearly every day of the week, according to volunteers Mark Godfrey and Tamara Treisman.“We’re a group of volunteers that come out here six or seven days a week to support the people checking in, families of those who have been detained and then also individuals that are released from detention,” Treisman said.Godfrey said people released from immigration detention can sometimes leave with little more than the belongings they had when they were taken into custody.Volunteers provide clothing, food and travel assistance, including rides to train stations and airports, according to the group.The volunteers also said families can sometimes wait hours without knowing whether a loved one who entered the facility for a scheduled check-in has been detained.FOX26 is working to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the West Park cases and the status of the people taken into custody.
