In San Francisco, California, seven activists were arrested inside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building on Monday at a protest to demand freedom for two undocumented immigrants who were arrested by ICE while they were doing a construction job on the Travis Air Force Base in May. Hugo Mejía and Rodrigo Nuñez are facing expedited deportation to Mexico. This is Hugo’s wife, Yadira Munguia, speaking at the rally on Monday.

Yadira Munguia: “People ask me how I feel. My children and I are destroyed. We feel sad and abandoned. I haven’t had a rest since this happened. And from the bottom of my heart, I’m hurting from the cruel separation that my husband is going through while he is detained. As a mother, I have to stay strong for my kids and for Hugo. My kids are heartbroken, as am I.”

More than 100 painters, carpenters and other construction workers showed up for Monday’s rally in San Francisco to support Hugo Mejía and Rodrigo Nuñez.
