Summary

When Rosmery Alvarado, 42, arrived in Kansas City on Wednesday with her husband and daughter to attend a spousal interview for her green card application, “everyone had a bad feeling.”

They had received unusual short notice for the interview and saw warning signs. 40 minutes later, Alvarado was on her way to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center.

“We didn’t get any kind of warning. They didn’t let us say goodbye.”

“My mom is not a criminal,” Carina Moran said. “She’s just my mom.” “She told us that she was scared and that she probably cried to herself throughout the whole night, that it was cold.”
