completely unexpected. rose still remembers that call as if it were yesterday are you sitting down like yeah. i need you there to calm down and thoughts that are being me are going to be fine and i said ok jose you're scaring me or leave me here go they deported me last night those words change my friend. rose is a u.s. citizen but marrying jose wasn't enough for him to attain citizenship. walter is 8 years old it's 7 30 in the morning and he's excited it's the last day of school before summer vacation. the teacher kamila king has the same ritual each morning she greets each student personally.

a criminal record he was working he was paying taxes he had a family in the united states so i was not a birdie the government was very strict at the beginning now this administration oh everybody's a priority until they realize they don't have beds for that many people and they could not arrest as many people so they're exercising it but but not equally so some will get a break so some are arrested some are not and what has created a lot more confusion for everybody. lawyers such as riot gonzalez speak of arbitrary treatment and accuse the authorities of inhumane conditions at their detention facilities. on the one i can see especially when you find out that statistics show that this year already 27 people have died in custody when that was not the number of 4 or 5 presidents in all their presidency so clearly there's a problem. to do you know family for
