Our immigrant support group. [View all]

I am a member of an immigrant support group. We had our weekly Zoom meeting this morning. We are working to help immigrants get healthcare surrogates and powers of attorney for their American-born children. We had a guest today who works with a local church with a congregation that includes many immigrants- mostly from southern Mexico and Central America. She started telling stories: the congregation member who was taken away as he came out of Walmart with his kids; the woman and children who were removed from their home without being given the opportunity to get fully dressed... Other people on the call were openly weeping. This is ethnic cleansing in America.
