Last week, at the Spanish-immersion daycare center Rayito del Sol in Chicago, employee Diana Santillana was violently abducted and detained by immigration agents in front of parents and young children. “My son was completely shut down emotionally after this happened,” says Tara Goodarzi, the parent of a three-year-old who attends Rayito del Sol and witnessed the aftermath of the arrest. “He was just so shocked by the state that his school and his safe place had transformed into.” Goodarzi also shares how community members are resisting the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant crackdown in Chicago, organizing protests, patrols, meal trains and rideshares to support immigrant neighbors.
