A Salvadoran immigrant told an interfaith gathering that she makes her U.S.-born children carry their passports when they go out because she fears they could be detained and separated from her amid the Trump administration’s anti-immigration campaign.
Two brothers from Long Island, Jose, 21, and Josue Trejo Lopez, 20, who were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during a routine check-in and later deported to El Salvador, appeared at the event by live video feed.
