Day 94.

I’m heartbroken because the deportation raids have begun. I don’t want to go along with ICE’s term, “targeted enforcement actions.” These are raids. These are ICE going door to door, in predominantly Latino neighborhoods, and asking people to show their papers. These are not all violent criminals. People who’ve committed misdemeanors are being taken. Some people who are being taken haven’t committed any crimes at all. From The Washington Post:

That undocumented immigrants with no criminal records were arrested and could potentially be deported sent a shock through immigrant communities nationwide amid concerns that the U.S. government could start going after law-abiding people.

Further, the government – the administration and ICE – have not been forthcoming about what is happening.

Here is a story about Guadalupe García de Rayos. This mother of two, who came here as a child, who has been a law-abiding citizen for ten years, was deported to Mexico yesterday.

Her daughter Jackie, who is an American citizen, spoke to Teen Vogue about what her life is like right now.

Get ready to hit the street. Get ready to start the calls again on Monday.
