#FreeCurtis - When the Fight Becomes Personal

At ScoreG, we tell stories about fighters. Underdogs. People who refuse to quit. People who get knocked down and stand back up anyway. I never imagined one of those stories would be my own brother’s.

My brother Curtis Wright has been detained by U.S. ICE since November 6, 2025. Over 100 days now. No resolution. No clarity. Just transfers, delays, and waiting.

Curtis is a lawful U.S. permanent resident. He moved to the United States as a minor almost 30 years ago. He built his life there. His career. His family. He’s a father of three. A fiancé. A provider. A guy who works hard and shows up. Curtis was stopped at the airport returning from a business trip and detained over decades-old misdemeanour charges that he was fully adjudicated for 21 years ago. Nothing recent. Nothing violent. Nothing that represents the man he is today.

And yet here we are.

What makes this even harder isn’t just the legal fight. It’s the human part.

His 18 month old daughter Brixley has been carrying around a small plastic picture frame with Curtis's photo inside. She asks for her daddy constantly. She doesn’t understand why he isn’t home. No child should have to process something like that.

But here’s the part that humbles me the most.

In the middle of his own nightmare, Curtis keeps telling us about the other men inside with him.

Men who don’t have family sending money.

Men who can’t afford extra food or even drinking water from commissary.

Men who are sick and waiting on medical attention.

Men who are exhausted, scared, and being pressured to give up and self-deport just to make the uncertainty stop.

Curtis shares what he has. If money gets put on his books, he divides it. If books are sent, he passes them around. He checks in on guys who have no one on the outside.

He tells us, “Some of these guys don’t have anybody.” Think about that.

He’s the one locked up. He’s the one separated from his kids. He’s the one who could lose everything. And he’s still thinking about other people. That’s who my brother is.

Yes, we need help with legal fees. The reality is that fighting this system takes serious resources. And yes, there’s the very real possibility that if he’s deported, his fiancée and baby daughter will face a massive, costly relocation, and he could lose custody of his boys.

The ripple effects are heavy. Some days it feels overwhelming.

But this GoFundMe isn’t just about Curtis.

It’s about shining a light on what’s happening inside these facilities. It’s about helping the men who don’t have support. It’s about standing up for families who feel invisible right now.

This isn’t a political post. It’s a personal one.

It’s a brother asking for help.

If you feel moved, please support. If you can’t, please share the GoFundMe. Awareness matters. Every message, every repost, every conversation helps.

We’re going to fight this the right way. With integrity. With transparency. And with the same resilience we try to capture in every film we make.

Curtis can fight like hell and still face deportation. But he will not fight alone.

Thank you for standing with us.
