Immigration agents take Chicago mother; stranger steps in to care for her kids
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
During the Trump administration’s deportation campaign in Chicago last fall, immigration agents took away a mother on the Southwest Side.
Her three children were all U.S. citizens.
They were left to fend for themselves.
And they did for nearly four weeks …
… until a 27-year-old woman — a stranger — stepped in to help.
WBEZ’s Chip Mitchell sat down with her.
