Local paper ran a story about Ludovic's detention by ICE. Seeing the photos of his empty apartment with trophies from tournaments I attended or watched gives it all another dimension. This guy has a life, friends and did everything he was asked to do.
Abolish and prosecute is the bare minimum.
he came and went in one sentence
Honestly if shit hits the fan, let's gather at the locals.
We live in an age where we don't really know phones numbers or address nowadays, but we have all gone and know the same locals. 🥲💕
They legit snatched him while he was renewing his work visa. Fuck this country and fuck ice. BRING HIM BACK!!! #FreeLud
It's #FreeLud all day everyday until Lud is home
The article briefly mentions it, but personally I don't care what Lud's status was. Every post about his situation has wriggling weirdos underneath asking about it & I reject the xenophobic premise of their question. Immigrants are a positive good and Lud should be celebrated, safe, & protected
They took one of our own.
He was there to renew his work VISA. He was doing things “the right way,” and they took him anyway.
We will not rest until we get him home. #FREELUD
Full article linked below.
This is why I'm #FuckIce all day, everyday. People can do everything correctly and still be betrayed by the systems put into place.
Register to vote, pay attention to local elections, get these "game makers" out of here, and put in people who actually care about us.
#FreeLud.

Chained for 7 hours enrages me.
These are human beings.
#FREELUD UPDATE:
- Lud and others were *chained for 7 hrs* before being flown to Georgia, the 2nd move in 2 days in defiance of his lawyers’ habeas corpus & a court order.
- The GoFundMe organizers are moving to contact media to boost the story and help #FREELUD.
KEEP POSTING.
I'm really struggling to function lately with the state of the world. Just me?
2/19 10pm ET Update: Thank you for your continued support and advocacy for Ludovic’s release. It’s beautiful to see how loved and supported he is by his community. Unfortunately, Ludovic was moved from Baltimore, MD to an ICE detention center in Louisiana. His lawyers were not properly notified of the transfer. What happens next: His lawyers’ top priorities will be fighting to bring him back home to Maryland. We remain hopeful for his safe return and appreciate everyone’s support as we navigate the next steps. How you can help: 1. Continue to donate and share Ludovic’s story with your community. At this time we are NOT seeking media/news engagement but DO want as much community support as possible. 2. We are looking to leverage any connections Ludovic’s community has with elected officials. If you can connect us with any public officials, please message us with that information. ICE wants us to panic and lose faith. For Ludovic, we will not break and instead we will hold strong and out-organize.
ICE ignored the judge's orders and moved lud to another detention center in Louisiana
if you happen to have ties to any local or state government in Maryland, please contact the organizers immediately
this is a marathon; not a sprint.
we gotta stay focused.

www.gofundme.com/f/support-lu... hey yall this is a little serious but a big pillar of dmv fgc Ludovic has been detained by ice and needs some financial help to cover the legal defense, please spread the word and donate if you can
This is so infuriating.
Lud’s a longtime member of fighting games and been in a lot of people’s corner as supportive friend and coach.
It’s infuriating to realize that your daily life could be stopped cold, even dead, by fragile egos with weapons, within and under DHS.
This is new reality.
Spreading the information over here too.
