My 7yo daughter’s best friends’ family fled the country a few weeks ago. Today she came home with a drawing of her and another friend blowing whistles at ICE agents. “We’re blowing the whistles and so ICE will go away and our friends can come back,” she said. I started sobbing uncontrollably.

I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
