My brother is an Engineer running a department @northropgrumman.bsky.social and my sister a mild/moderate Special Ed Teacher at our Local elementary school.

Imagine the future teachers, engineers, doctors and scientists that the US is missing out on with these ICE raids in my community.

I was an illegal immigrant for almost all of my childhood. It wasn’t until I was 16 that my family was granted political asylum from Guatemala, a process that took a decade to achieve.
