La política de expulsión acelerada del ICE permite deportar sin audiencia formal a las personas que no puedan demostrar que llevan más de dos años en Estados Unidos.

Exhausted by the sweltering heat and long hours in the restaurant, she often went home with a powerful headache. In July of last year, she felt she had to speak up. It was the morning rush, and she was the only server.
