Years ago, the family immigrated from El Salvador, in part to seek medical care for the 14-year-old, who has a debilitating heart condition. Three weeks before we spoke, the mother heard from a friend that ICE was looking for her. Ever since, she and the kids had been in hiding. They hadn’t left the house, afraid even to take out the trash. The boys had missed weeks of school and doctor’s appointments, living off food brought by relatives. The mother was trying to pass the time in a way that felt light for the kids, watching Superman and having pajama parties, but she could tell the boys were scared and stir crazy. They longed to go outside, to play in the park.

Not much difference left from Jews hiding in cellars and attics.

YouTube’s algorithm for some reason decided that what I want to watch the most in the world are videos of mostly white dudes citing US constitution to popice officers asking them to roll down a window during car stop. Sure, it’s fun and the checks and balanced are important. It’s not you don’t have problem with police abusing power… But where are all those people where masked guys throw people in the unmarked ICE van. Isn’t this the fight you prepared for your all live?
