Who Is Duffy

A Man Who Built His Life Here

Duffy with his family — the life he is fighting to return to

Duferson "Duffy" Augustin is a 34-year-old man originally from Haiti who came to the United States in 2007 — nearly two decades ago. He has spent the majority of his life here, building a stable life around family, hard work, and community. He is a loving fiancé to Walbyana Etienne, a dedicated family member, and a valued friend to many who know him.

For years, Duffy complied fully with the immigration process — attending every required ICE appointment and check-in without fail. On June 9, 2026, he reported to a routine check-in at the Miami ICE-ERO office in Miramar, Florida. Despite his compliance, he was unexpectedly detained.

Duffy is not considered a danger to the community. He has done everything right — and yet he now sits in a detention facility, separated from his fiancée and family, just weeks before his planned wedding on June 28, 2026.

The Stakes

Time Is Running Out

6
Days Detained
Duffy was detained on June 9, 2026 during a routine ICE check-in he voluntarily attended. Every day apart from his fiancée and family is one too many.
June 28
Wedding Day
Duffy and his fiancée Walbyana were set to be married on June 28, 2026. His detention has turned what should be their happiest milestone into a period of separation and uncertainty.
100%
Deportation Risk
Without strong legal representation, Duffy faces permanent removal from the country he has called home — separated forever from his fiancée, family, and community. A dedicated employee who never misses a day of work, his employer and coworkers stand firmly behind him.

Duffy shows up for everyone around him — at work, in the neighborhood, for his family. He attended every single ICE check-in they asked of him. Detaining him like this is not justice.
