ICE Raided My Son’s Daycare to Abduct a Teacher. This Kind of Trauma Lasts. Children in Illinois have suffered months of systematic abuse by federal agents enacting Trump’s immigration raids.

"Children at my son's Spanish immersion preschool in Chicago bore witness to a teacher being violently abducted by ICE agents who entered their school, armed with weapons, earlier this month."
