A man who saw the family get off the train offered to buy them food.

Other people gave them drinks.

Another man even gave them money.

They all ate, and finally, walking distance from the U.S.

border, they slept.

In the morning, U.S.

Immigration admitted Yamilis and the children into the U.S.

They spent the night in a Border Patrol tent and were given paperwork to start the asylum process.

Eventually, they were placed on a bus to Chicago.

Yamilis' daughter, Indriani, came to greet her.

It was Yamilis' first time seeing her daughter in a year and a half.

Together, they traveled back to Indriani's new home in Minnesota, where the kids enrolled in school, and eventually, Yamilis found work cleaning houses and offices.

Over the years, they settled in and made a life for themselves.

After the break, Yamilis tells me about her second separation from her daughter and grandson, the night of Julio's shooting.

Yamilis was at work when she got her daughter's frantic video call.

Indriani was telling her that ICE was at the door.

Tear gas had been thrown through the window, and so Yamilisa's daughter and grandson got on the ground.

They were phoning from under the bed.

You can hear everything.

Yamilis pulls out her phone.
