My mother was stopped by ICE in Norman, OK at the end of April. She then stayed in ICE detention center for about 3.5 months. She is no criminal. She was was a childcare provider and was in college studying Early Childhood Development, even at age 53. She left her home country in 2001 because she wanted better for her children. It was not easy to leave everything behind and commit to not being able to see her parents, siblings, and family again. Her father died in the time she was away and she did not get to be there. Nonetheless, she made a life for herself and her four kids in the US. She volunteered at her church regularly and she loved helping others. She took care of her family and made sure her children never wanted for anything, unlike the childhood she lived. For driving without a license, she was held in ICE detention center for months. Away from a warm bed, a nutritious meal, and privacy, peace, and quiet. This gofundme is set up so Claudia's family may purchase flights, passports, and may make arrangements for Claudia to start her life once more in a country she does not recognize, having left 25+ years ago.
