Morgan's husband was arrested in front of her and their two small children in February. As a U.S. citizen, she cannot understand why her own government would tear her family apart.
My husband was arrested February 18th, 2013. ICE came into my home and took my husband in front of my two small children. My daughter cried and screamed as they handcuffed my husband and escorted him to the police car.
My husband works full time to provide for our family he is the sole provider he is not a criminal! Yes he came here illegally but he was trying to make a better life for himself and our growing family.
I am beyond disappointed with the way I have been treated as a human being and as a U.S. citizen. They have treated me and my husband as if we murdered someone.
My daughter now wakes up every night screaming for her father. She cries because she has not seen him in a month. My son will grow up and only know his father through photos and webcam.
This has took a huge toll on our entire family.
We want our family back together.
-Morgan E.
