Detained and Deported: Stories of Immigrant Families Under Fire
Margaret Regan
''An intimate look at the people ensnared by the US detention and deportation system, the largest in the world
On
a bright Phoenix morning, Elena Santiago opened her door to find her
house surrounded by a platoon of federal immigration agents. Her
children screamed as the officers handcuffed her and drove her away.
Within hours, she was deported to the rough border town of Nogales,
Sonora, with nothing but the clothes on her back. Her two-year-old
daughter and fifteen-year-old son, both American citizens, were taken by
the state of Arizona and consigned to foster care. Their mother’s only
offense: living undocumented in the United States.
Immigrants
like Elena, who’ve lived in the United States for years, are being
detained and deported at unprecedented rates. Thousands languish in
detention centers—often torn from their families—for months or even
years. Deportees are returned to violent Central American nations or
unceremoniously dropped off in dangerous Mexican border towns. Despite
the dangers of the desert crossing, many immigrants will slip across the
border again, stopping at nothing to get home to their children.
