This beautiful small child
Has been kidnapped
Not once, but twice
Once in Mexico, where we forced her to go
Again in the United States after her Mexican kidnappers put her on a raft
In the dead of night
While the coyotes howled
(She still hears howls in her nightmares).1/
Remarkably she doesn’t fear for her own safety
This beautiful child
But for her beloved father’s.
She saw them hold guns to his head
First in Mexico
And then when that nice lady in the American town said she would help them
But instead
Took them to the scary men

My 5 year old with the fractured skull “in jail” (as he says) at Dilley
Tonight at 11:30 someone walks into their room in detention with a white trash bag: “put the stuff you don’t want in here”, the guy says
“You’re leaving”
“Where are we going?””Don’t ask questions”

Mom calls her sister and the sister calls me
She is weeping.
I call the attorneys.
I knew that they would try to deport this little child with the broken head on the first plane they could
In the dead of night. When all horror happens
