16-Year-Old's Plea Against Trump's 'Terror Campaign' and ICE Abuses

A Teenager's Fear and Plea

• 😥 A 16-year-old from Hillsboro, Oregon, expresses profound fear for their parents' safety due to potential ICE actions, fearing they might not be able to say goodbye.
• 💔 The fear stems from parents having fought hard to come to the US for a better life for their children, only to be treated like "animals" based on skin color and speech.
• 🗣️ The teenager criticizes the president for acting like a child and not siding with them, and the police department for inaction, highlighting that the community is fighting harder for their rights.
• 🏫 The fear impacts daily life, preventing focus on school and causing anxiety about friends and loved ones disappearing or being targeted by unidentified individuals.

The Impact of ICE and CBP Actions

• 💔 The actions of ICE and CBP are described as causing immense suffering and trauma to children, parents, and communities.
