See this video. Share this video. Put it on other platforms. Get it everywhere. For the love of God, this happened to her (and her son) because she went to a fucking immigration hearing, as she was supposed to.

We need every "soft" (non-MAGA) Trump voter to see this ⬇️ video. *PLEASE* repost it. And post it on other platforms if you can. And remember, the Congressional switchboard is 202-224-3121.

I don’t know you or your children but I will fight for you with all my might. You don’t have to be a citizen. You don’t have to be rich. You don’t have to be Christian. You don’t have to be straight. You don’t have to be educated. You don’t have to be anyone but you.
