“He was taken from an opportunity that his dad worked so hard for,” Ms. Hlavka said. “I think we are forgetting as a society that every human matters.”
“It is quite sad,” Ms. Spector said on Friday. “He came here wanting to give his son a different and better life than he might have had in China. That’s what they were coming for. And they had a lot to offer.”

It’s outrageous Trump is locking up hardworking community members like Kelly Yu while pretending he’s focused on real criminals.
I met Kelly at the ICE detention center in Eloy. She’s a small business owner who’s only ever made this country stronger. She should be freed.

I know many things are awful but here is one genuinely useful and helpful thing you can do. No matter their party, your representative needs to hear that trans people and our families are not alone and this bill is an unjustifiable and extreme threat to criminalize the health care we need to live.
Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.
Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
