βWe had reached a saturation pointβ... ICE agents were βliterally swarming all over the schools, day in and day out, in the morning, in the middle of the day ... on the weekends. We just decided that we couldn't even have a bigger target on our back.β
A NINE year old is being detained for 113 days and goes through questioning for two hours without an adult, without her mother, present.
Her mother is in News York, undocumented while she herself has a tourist visa.
She says she can't sleep well, worries, and feels guilty if anything happens.
NINE!
Incredibly shocking...
