She’s married to an American and was following the process, yet at her last immigration meeting they grabbed her.

Although the Israeli airstrikes have relatively paused, the suffering caused by mass displacement continues for most of the population in the devastated enclave.

A mother of 8 was sexually abused by an ICE officer.
She went public with the abuse, and was deported the very next day.
Her lawyer says she had a stay on her deportation order
They disappeared her so she couldn’t speak out.
Silvia Reyna Mendoza deserves justice.
ICE should be abolished.
