SEIU, a union that represents home healthcare workers in Salem, Oregon, said one of their members was driving to pay her rent and pick up a birthday cake when she noticed she was being followed by unmarked vehicles with no license plates:
"The vehicle pulled up, stopped in front of her, while another vehicle parked behind her, boxing her in so she could not drive away.

The agents emptied her purse, discovered her passport, then left Maria there without seeking medical attention for her. Maria feared for her life -- she has severe asthma and is medically fragile. Because of her condition, she was worried about what would happen if she got tear gassed." read more

The door cracks open and Calvo nudges me through. I'm disoriented. It's pitch black inside, curtains drawn, lights off. Diego stands in the entryway, but I see only the outline of his body, not his face. "Buenas noches," he whispers, and guides us to the living room. A little boy comes up beside me. "I wanna play!" he says in English, gesturing toward the TV and Xbox. Nobody turns it on. This family has nothing to do with the situation outside, but still they are hiding. read more
