My name is wathana philaphandeth , I am a mother of 3 children and married to my husband, Tong, of 32 years.

Tong was taken into custody Friday by ICE at check-in. He is held in Texas. He left here with nothing but a cellphone. I was not given any time to pack a bag to give him - we did not even get to say goodbyes or i loves you - he was ripped away from his son and couldn't do anything about it any donations , will help with the cost of getting him sponsored out once he lands in Laos, for food, essentials, and living needs
