ABOUT: Guillermo Medina Reyes

Guillermo has lived in the US since he was six years old. He is a visionary tattoo artist, a disciplined craftsperson, and a fierce advocate for justice. Guillermo is known for his deep kindness, unwavering humility, and boundless selflessness to show up for others.

Beyond his artistry, Guillermo has organized against the violence of immigration detention—from both inside and outside its walls. While unjustly detained by ICE, he co-led a hunger strike and a labor strike, exposed systemic abuse, supported fellow detainees translating, researching legal defenses, and connecting people with attorneys when they had none and became a named plaintiff in lawsuits against ICE and GEO Group. His courage and leadership gave many people hope—and a fighting chance.

Since his release, Guillermo has continued to speak publicly about detention by meeting with elected officials to demand meaningful action and oversight, spoken to the media, supporting community defense actions, and even created powerful art for the 2024 Journey to Freedom pilgrimage. Outside of advocacy, he is also a brilliant tattoo artist, a skilled carpenter, and a committed worker who holds multiple jobs. He recently graduated from a year-long academic program at De Anza College, all while continuing to support his community.

Now, he needs us. Join in packing the court on July 15th.
