From a missed graduation ceremony to daily anxiety about walking their dog, one family recounts their ever-present fear of being deported as immigration agents flood their city.
MINNEAPOLIS — A south Minneapolis mother cried as she watched her daughter get ready for high school graduation. She wouldn’t be there as her daughter crossed the stage. It was too dangerous.
The girl wore a white dress and cowboy boots, a nod to her parents’ native Mexico.
“Take my coat so you can bring a little of me with you,” the mother tearfully said in Spanish.
Her mother hasn’t left the house in two months and didn’t attend the graduation because she is fearful of being deported amid the massive immigration operation in the city, which DHS said has resulted in the arrest of 3,000 people. Similarly, the girl’s father has stayed inside for almost three weeks after closing his small service-based business indefinitely. NBC News is not describing his business in order to protect his identity.
Their adult children, all U.S. citizens, have decided they would stay behind if their parents were removed from the country.
“It’s so heartbreaking,” the mother said, wiping away tears. “I always wanted to see her graduate.”
Four years ago, the girl’s eighth grade graduation was canceled because of the Covid pandemic. Now, her parents will have to settle for a livestreamed high school graduation because both lack U.S. citizenship and they’re too afraid to leave home.
The couple, who asked NBC News not to use their names, is among thousands of Minnesota residents who are not U.S citizens.
The mother, 53, stopped leaving the house a week after the family moved into their new rental in December. She heard reports that Operation Metro Surge would intensify...

Thanks for the tip! We'll be following that one home.
Self-deport.
Wouldn’t have that problem if they were home in Heh-e-coh.
Should have taken the deal. $3k if she had self deported over Christmas. Now she gets to hide in a hole like saddam Hussein until she is caught.
All ICE needs to do if find out where the snappers are buying their groceries or which doctor they are using.
1000s of people with active warrants are also in hiding. Should we feel sorry for them?
"A tiny hamster running inside a clear plastic ball rolled around on the living room carpet. A brown labradoodle wearing a diaper watched from underneath the dining room table. The dog was wearing a diaper because it rarely goes outside for walks as the family fears drawing attention to themselves."
-------
OMG Dogs and cats wearing diapers together. Mass hysteria!
Go back to Heh-e-coh. Eat tacos. Have a siesta in the warm sun.
“...both lack U.S. citizenship”
More *%*$*% weasel words. They “lack” U.S. citizenship? They just looked around one day and realized it was lost or stolen, and over the years haven’t figured out a way to get it back? Get your illegal @$$ out of here!
Both parents are illegal aliens .. and we’re supposed to sympathize with their fears of being deported because they’re daughter is graduating?
For those who don’t read the articles, I’d recommend this one. There’s some nuggets here such as they are planning to self-deport, which I’ll believe when I see, but also that their two elder children support deportation of illegal aliens (!!!!) of course the reader is also left wondering why they need cases of bottled water brought in by the sympathetic pastor, when presumably the place has running water.
Admittedly I didn’t make it all the way through; my tears kept welling up too much and I could not see my phone screen.
But there’s this quote , which is just too precious. Obviously the wife has listened well to the preaching of the activists:
“‘If they’re willing to kill white, U.S citizens, what will they do to me?” she asked, referring to Pretti and Good.”
When I did illegal stuff, I used to hide it from the police.
Ridiculous.
Now publishers of the Anne Frank books will be paying these fools for their breathless accounts of narrowly escaping Trump thugs.
If Don Lemon is out on bail at the time he can interview them and slip them some automatic weapons.
“””Her husband, who came to the U.S. in 1996 from Mexico, said he never applied for citizenship, thinking it was out of reach. He heard stories from friends and relatives who paid their lawyers thousands of dollars and still waited several years before receiving green cards or work permits, he said. “”””
BooHoo. Get out.
Cry me a river.
They broke the law.
And protesters can shove their Mexican flags!
These illegal aliens have become militants.
Her daughter must have looked like an idiot in her white cowboy clothes and boots in Minnisomalia in the middle of a huge winter storm. I’ll bet she was one of the valedictorians. They don’t have cowboys in Minnisomalia but they do have a lot of illegal aliens. They even changed their flag to celebrate their Somali coloney and its various tribes. I’m sorry but I’m pretty sure this is just another SOB storie created by some Mexican “Illegal Alien advocate” and turned in to the chimpanzees working in the Minniliberalmedia.
RE: The girl wore a white dress and cowboy boots.
Sounds like a scene from the undercover vice unit woman talking to Olivia Benson on Law and Order SVU.
Keep in mind, they believe the government is after them. This is one level above “The government is watching me through my television”.
Amelia, the AI from the UK has pretty much the same message. Feel the warm sun on your shoulders, the sights and smells that make you feel at home, hearing your native language again, you’ll be so much happier back at home.
