SUYA JOINT UPDATE ON PAUL DAMA’S CASE W FAQ + HOW TO HELP “This is more than a restaurant closure. This is the dismantling of a dream and a community space - caused by a system that disregards the contributions of immigrants like Paul. Update on Paul Unfortunately, the judge denied my brother Paul's bond request. Despite strong evidence, we were met with rejection. His asylum hearing is now set for September 23rd. We're pursuing every legal option available. 📅 We're advocating for Paul's release under ISM - Intensive Supervision Monitoring. It would allow him to live in the community as his case proceeds. But ICE holds the final decision. If this doesn't work...I (Sister) may be forced to shut down the restaurant. It's getting harder to hold it all together. Please keep Paul in your thoughts. 🙏🏽 Every donation. Every share. Every prayer. It all helps. How You Can Help: Community support is essential at this critical moment. You can: • Donate or share Paul's fundraiser below • Write a letter of support to submit to the court • Share Paul's story on social media or with your networks • Pray and stand with us as we fight for justice Thank You Every donation, letter, and prayer helps bring Paul one step closer to home. We're deeply grateful to stand in this fight with our community.”

After opening a new location in Rhode Island, acclaimed West African restaurant Suya Joint may close their doors after their manager was kidnapped by ICE on his way to church on Father’s Day.

While on his way to church, the manager of Suya Joint, Paul Dama was detained by ICE and remains in their custody at the Strafford County Jail in Dover, New Hampshire. He has not been given a clear explanation for his detention and neither Paul nor his family know the official charges brought against him.
