Pablo, identified by a pseudonym to protect his family's safety, was arrested by ICE in mid-September while on his way to work. He was the sole breadwinner for his young family and was held in detention in Louisiana for about a month before being deported. His partner Jocelyn, a 19-year-old Blair High School student and mother of their toddler, is now staying with extended family while trying to finish school and support her daughter. She is struggling to cover rent, childcare, and basic necessities without him. A fundraiser has been set up to help cover the family's expenses.
