Oceja is the co-founder of Vecendarios 901. She said a few people were released by ICE
at the scene after showing proof of legal status, but others with legal status were not
given that opportunity.
“They stopped reviewing those documents and they just started rounding everybody up
and putting them on the buses, and so once they arrived to their destination like Mason
or even Louisiana, andthen those folks were able to produce those documents, then
that’s when ICE started to release them,” Oceja said. “We ended up having to have some
volunteers drive up to Mason to pick those families, or those people, up that were being
released, without any form of communication.”
So even if you have your papers on you, ICE will kidnap you, drag you across state lines, and then dump you with no way to communicate and no way to get home.
