This is our situation in the tents; they don't protect us from the bitter winter cold. Our children shiver from the cold. Every dollar helps keep us warm. We buy a little wood to get a little warmth. Please help us with that warmth... https://t.co/YxnAtAYXvy

A Queens 1st grader. Looks like my son did at that age. Big glasses. Sweet smile. Now alone, scared at an unknown ICE detention center. Taken from his dad at a routine check in. This is what we're fighting against. This kid is who we're fighting for. https://t.co/WTiMhpfPMt
