But the conditions are so...
horrifying there that that is just to be expected which is terrible and this dangerous pattern can't continue to unfold we don't want this to be albero and his family's reality nor any immigrants living nightmare you know like this is such a community issue across the world like every one of the people connected to
anyone who has died in ICE detention is impacted for the rest of their life by this.
You know, like it's what I was saying when I said people who have immigrant family, we can't just go about business as usual.
Every day I wake up and I don't know if something is going to happen to one or all of my loved ones who might be targeted by virtue of having dark skinned
which is not a crime.
But in America, we're trying to make it one.
And, like, again, we don't want this to happen to Albero.
He's a community member.
Everyone in the community is saddened.
His wife is so upset and so worried and doesn't understand why this is happening because to her, he is a man who goes to work day and night to help his family and to provide for his family.
And there just is absolutely no reason for him to be in there.
And she was originally in detention too.
They were both detained, but they let her out.
And that also feels like part of the cruelty.
You know, part of the cruelty and the conditions of dying in ICE custody are also rooted in being separated from hair and love.
