Personal Narratives from El Balazo Workers

“I received a letter saying that my son had cancer and was in the hospital. He’s undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment now. I just did what any parent would do, whether or not they had money, they’d come to be near their family and that’s what I did. And I’m going to fight to stay here.” -- Feliciano
“We need to take action to defend our rights. It’s not just what they’re doing to us.” -- Alberto
“I have three kids, 5, 8 and 10-years-old. I’ve been working to give them a better opportunity in their lives. When ICE raided us, I was terrified, there was a lot of fear. But we can’t give up. We have to struggle for our rights and for the rights of our children.” -- Angeles
“I think ICE raided El Balazo because of discrimination. We’re just working to maintain our families. I’ve got an 11-year-old kid. We’re not committing any crimes, we’re not hurting anyone.” -- Luis
“My family is very poor and they rely on me for money. My parents live on a small little ranch and they’ve worked very hard all their lives. Now it’s my turn to help them because they did so much for us. Now this has happened to us and I’m very sad. -- Juan Francisco
