Our Mission
Libre by Nexus’ mission is to give hope to those who have lost it and help to those without a voice in the immigration system by reuniting families who have been negatively impacted by the broken immigration system. We believe that detaining immigrants for extended periods of time without providing legal counsel is unacceptable. That’s why we fund a legal team to provide that service. When you come to Libre by Nexus for help, you are not just another client — you become part of our family.
En Libre by Nexus, somos diferentes.
Our Story
Since our company’s creation in 2014, our program has grown exponentially, however, the original vision of our organization has remained the same — to liberate immigrants who have been subject to the defects of the current system. Libre by Nexus began as a ministry to people who are incarcerated. Our founder and CEO, Mike Donovan, birthed his vision for our company when he also fell victim to the unfair bond process and personally experienced the financial burden bonds inflict. Under his leadership, Libre by Nexus has worked to ensure that our program is centered on the principle of respecting and affirming the inherent worth and dignity of every person. Many of our employees have navigated the flawed immigration system themselves and understand first-hand how tumultuous the immigration process can be. Our company has grown from its single location in Virginia to over twenty offices nationwide so we can better serve those seeking a new life in the United States.
