Off they went in the back of a dark trunk with lots of others like them. It was scary for me as a little girl who had no say. I was just 8 years old, a legal American with a parent and family who are immigrants from Mexico. I didn’t know what to do, I was shocked and scared all at once. It was just me, the apartment and my dad, no one else. I was so used to always having my Mexican family around me to support me and help me in so many different ways. It was strange not having them there. All my family was gone except for one. The rest were all gone forever. Our close tight knit family was separated in an instant, in one night, September 3rd, 2010.
