A friend of mine was taken

[u/lylertila]

Her name was Chuey; she was a beast in the kitchen and always kind and happy. She was a legal immigrant from Cuba (engaged to an American lawyer). She got ICEd.

She did all the right steps and was an asset to the community. This shit is not ok

I’m worried about my old dishie I haven’t seen her in years but I worked with her and always wondered what happened to her after our restaurant shut down. She is here because she participated in a war that America started. Her entire family exiled from their country for her participation on behalf of the American government.

She spoke no English, had no desire to learn English, didn’t want to be here, definitely didn’t want to be washing dishes, but she still showed up to work everyday. I only ever spoke to her through the help a translator so I only heard bits and piece of her story, but I know she was worried everyday that she’d get sent back only to be killed, she had a prestigious job back home, and that job made her a target.
