This is horrible, and also not just letting this family disappear without acknowledging their exit is a sanctuary practice. It’s hard, but it is resistance and it is healing.
Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.
There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.
