UPDATE: ⚠️ Community interpreter has been freed from ICE detention.

After 8 months of imprisonment and pressure from our communities, Kubanych has finally been released and reunited with. his family!

ICE detained Kubanych while he was an interpreting for another asylum seeker, a blatant act of retaliation for his service to the community.

Kubanych is now back in Kyrgyzstan with his 4 young children and wife. Kubanych and his family are rebuilding their lives after the traumatizing experience of having a loved one abducted by ICE.

Before ICE kidnapped him in October 2025, Kubanych was exploited by a predatory lawyer who scammed the family out of thousands of dollars.

Now thousands of dollars in debt, Kubanych must also deal seek medical care for the severe toll that prolonged ICE detention had on his physical and mental health.

During 8 months of imprisonment in California City Detention Center he experienced torture, humiliation, and abuse. He lost 40 lbs from malnourishment and was denied care for his serious health conditions.

Let’s help Kubanych take his life back!
