I just witnessed the same scene that I witnessed when I wrote the introduction for my book. A group of immigrant/refugee kids being transported without their parents. Happened in the same airport where I witnessed it the first time-connecting flight in Houston. They were so scared, and they lit up when I spoke to them. I told them they had rights. To speak up. That we love them. They are everywhere. Hidden in plain sight.
EWF. Mija. Dancing outdoors. Surrounded by love. What more could I ask for it? Nothing PURE JOY. PURA VIDAAAAA. As you know, I haven’t been posting a lot. Taking a little bit of a break. But this just came up on my feed this morning and I wanted to share from earlier this summer celebrating my birthday. This is how I’m gonna start my week. Filled with love.
Me and my honey for 32 YEARS of marriage!! Te adoro mi querido @germanperezart So blessed to still be in love with this man who inspires me every day. 🥰😍🥰😍🥰
After the tragic Uvalde school shooting in 2022, @abel_ortiz_artist, an art professor at Southwest Texas Junior College had an idea to help his community. He joined forces with project manager Monica Maldonado of @m.a.s.cultura, who recruited 21 artists and volunteers from across the state to come together with the support of Dr. George Meza to use the power of art to heal. Maria Hinojosa interviewed Abel for the following documentary.

#NowPlaying a new @latinousa podcast 🎙️🎧
In this special collaboration with @futuroinvestigates, how is ICE handling complaints of sexual abuse from detainees? @maria_la_hinojosa teams up with @zealouszeba—these two immigrant women and journalists from different generations look at sexual abuse in ICE detention more than a decade after Maria’s documentary film on this topic. This time, they investigate how women in ICE detention are sexually abused when they were at their most vulnerable —in a medical setting— and how ICE has done very little to stop it.

Tomorrow on @latinousa, a new investigation from @futuroinvestigates a story about how @icegov detainees are sexually abused when they were at their most vulnerable —in a medical setting— and how ICE has done very little to stop it.
