"If they're willing to kill white, U.S citizens, what will they do to me?" she asked, referring to Pretti and Good.

This Minneapolis family has been in hiding for weeks, fearful of being deported
From a missed graduation ceremony to daily anxiety about walking their dog, one family recounts their ever-present fear of being deported as immigration agents flood their city.


MINNEAPOLIS — A south Minneapolis mother cried as she watched her daughter get ready for high school graduation. She wouldn’t be there as her daughter crossed the stage. It was too dangerous.

The girl wore a white dress and cowboy boots, a nod to her parents’ native Mexico.

“Take my coat so you can bring a little of me with you,” the mother tearfully said in Spanish.

Her mother hasn’t left the house in two months and didn’t attend the graduation because she is fearful of being deported amid the massive immigration operation in the city, which DHS said has resulted in the arrest of 3,000 people. Similarly, the girl’s father has stayed inside for almost three weeks after closing his small service-based business indefinitely. NBC News is not describing his business in order to protect his identity.
