In January, Delmy Rendón smashed her car into a deer on a rural highway in Upstate New York, near the Canadian border. She did what any Spanish-speaking immigrant would do. Instead of calling 911, she knocked on the door of the nearest house for help. The residents were not kind, her mother said. That moment set off a sequence of events that landed Rendón in a Louisiana detention center. Rendón was on a path to U.S. legal residency in a new, safer and more prosperous country.

Morales-Lopez tried to go inside, but the agent grabbed him by the arm. “You’re not free to go,” he said. More officers arrived and arrested the 33-year-old from Guatemala.
