Whenever I feel worried about the world I simply head to this video of Tom Jones, during a bizarre duet of "It's Not Unusual," repeatedly referring, in RAPTUROUS SONG, to Wyclef Jean as "Westcliff" #westcliff youtube.com/watch?v=i9TV54yr…
Amalia, mother of 8-year-old Juan and 7-year-old Mario: "They did not give me permission to say goodbye. They separated us without explanation. When they took them away from me, my children were in tears. They did not want to leave me"
Damaris, mother of 10-year-old Sayma: I told them that I was not going to let them to take my baby away. But they told me that I could not do anything because I had entered the country without documents. Then they forcibly removed her from my arms and took her away"
Maria M., mother of 5-year-old Adish: My girl was sad, crying and almost did not want to talk to me. She was very distant, she is too young to understand what is happening ... she is with strangers ... but what she needs, is me."
Lubys, mother of 7-year-old Bryan: "I remember that my child kissed me and said, “we will be together soon, Mommy.” Those were the last words that came out of his mouth. He is in a shelter now. What I want the most is to get him back and tell him how much I love him"
Dalia, mother of 13-year-old Jefry: "My heart was broken when I saw them taking him and I was not able to do anything"
Maria, mother of 11-year-old Victor and 9-year-old Leidy: "The last words of my son were 'Mommy, if they come for me, I'll hold your feet tight and I will not let you go'"

Proud to share my story on Kyndia Riley, who lost her parents to mandatory minimum drug sentences at age 2. Yes, this is a story about incarceration, but it's also a love story about a mother and daughter who will stop at nothing to get back to each other bit.ly/2BdGNBv
