My name is Noah Sanchez and I am devastated to be writing something like this. On Monday, June 9, my grandma/only mom was taken by ICE in Hawthorne.

My grandma is an honest woman. She worked to provide for her kids in any way possible. We were on the way to Saint Joseph’s Church, and she had made a joke about running to the corner to get to church faster. As she ran there, two ICE workers interrupted her and grabbed her. I ran to go and talk to her or at least to say goodbye, but the workers didn’t even let me talk. They shoved her into the van, and now I’m desperately trying to find and look for her. They drove off and didn’t even talk to me. They didn’t give any information about where she would end up. I’m desperately trying to look for help or look for others to boost this so I could try to find her. I’m writing this with tears in my eyes and only asking for anything possible for help. Help me find my only mother.
