I personally know a family who came here from Columbia 10+years ago. Attempted and denied asylum. Both parents always worked full-time at various jobs in our community and had support from their employers for their efforts to attain legal status. Their daughters attended school. The elders graduated from high school. They left the US in December 2024 and returned to Columbia. I suspect they saw the writing on the wall. While I know they loved living here and could push reality away most of the time, their lives in immigration limbo seemed difficult even before recent events. If they were here now I’d be worrying for them every day.
