Thousands of Kids Taken From Parents In U.S. Deportation System

Clara's eldest kid was 6 years old and her youngest just a year old when it happened.

Josefina's baby was 9 months. All three children were ripped from their mothers and sent to live in foster homes with strangers.

Clara and Josefina, sisters in their early 30s who lived together in a small northern New Mexico town, had done nothing to harm their children or to elicit the attention of the child welfare department. Yet one morning last year, their family was shattered when federal immigration authorities detained both sisters.

Clara and Josefina were deported four months later. For a year, they had no contact with their children.

The sun was rising on a late summer morning in Farmington. Clara (all parents' names in this story have been changed) was asleep inside the trailer that she shared with the children and Josefina, who was finishing a night shift at the local restaurant where both sisters worked.

Clara says she was jolted awake by the sound of banging and yelling. A group of uniformed officers, some marked with ICE, for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and others DEA, for Drug Enforcement Administration, burst through the door.

The agents put Clara in handcuffs, while two of the officers began walking and carrying the children out of the trailer. Clara pleaded with them, asking what they would do with her children. We're taking them where we take all the kids".

Colorline is just another link that should be dismantled, same as Non-Americanvoice la raza and the rest! Should be hundreds of thousands!

If they wouldn't have been here illegally to begin with this scenario would never happen. And that's besides the fact that these kids are Mexican citizens according to the Mexican constitution. Any child born abroad to a Mexican citizen is a Mexican by Mexican laws. Why are none of these children being sent home to relatives? Better yet why are these parents fighting being deported and forcing authorities to do this? If they cooperate and just go home with their children everything should be fine.

In the detention center, before she was deported, Roberta looked up from the photo of her children and stated a policy that many would think is common sense.[b] "If you send the mom to Mexico,"

As stated before America needs a new "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND" policy. THis new one however means if the parents are illegal and deported then the child is not left behind...they must take the kids with them back to their homeland.

The tears they run down my cheeks. This is horrible. I will not sleep until they are reunited, placed on a plane , train or bus and shipped back to where they came from.
To all Illegal Aliens out there , I will continue to work on your behalf to save you all from this terrible fate. I PROMISE !!! My wish is that as soon as you are caught , you and your family will be swiftly processed and removed from the country as an intact family unit. YOU HAVE MY WORD!!! VIA CON DIOS

“I didn’t do anything wrong to have my children taken away from me

You were breaking the law by being here....you should have packed up and gone home WITH your kids b/4 ICE showed up.....
