A mother and her 2 young kids, including her US citizen 4-year-old daughter, were trapped in a hotel room for weeks without contact from the outside world as the Trump administration sought to deport them.
"We were experiencing a nightmare," she told @thecity.nyc.
www.thecity.nyc/2026/01/28/i...
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
