From North Carolina-Jackeline Tobar noticed the signs of her mother’s absence immediately. Flowers weren’t blooming in the garden. Furniture wasn’t constantly being rearranged in the living room. And then there was the kitchen.
“She always uses vegetables to cook,” Tobar, 23,
said, “but after the first week, the vegetables were still sitting
there, rotting.”
That was almost two years ago.
In
April 2017, her mother, Juana Tobar Ortega, was ordered by Immigration
and Customs Enforcement to self-deport to her native Guatemala by May.
Instead, she packed up her clothes, left her home and family in
Greensboro, North Carolina, and moved into a nearby church where she
sought sanctuary.
She has not stepped out the church since.
