In New Jersey, undocumented activist and student Carimer Andujar walked out of an ICE check-in Tuesday and celebrated with more than 100 supporters who had gathered outside the immigration office to protest her possible deportation. Andujar is in her third year studying chemical engineering at Rutgers University, where she’s the president of UndocuRutgers. She was waiting for renewal of her DACA status, which gives her permission to live, work and study in the United States, when she received a letter from ICE ordering her to report for the check-in Tuesday. This is Carimer Andujar speaking to her supporters after she walked freely out of the immigration office in Newark.
Carimer Andujar: “Let me remind you of the power that you guys have. The 45th might be our president. But the people—the people’s power will always be stronger than the people in power.”
