I have just witnessed the most horrifying thing I've ever seen in person. Today, I traveled 11 hours to get to McAllen, Texas. I witnessed a caged police bus transporting children into a repurposed factory where they will be kept. These children were ripped from their mothers and in a foreign land with nothing and no one. I could see those kids crying. The children were to afraid to move. The younger ones made tiny waves back at us and put their hands against the windows while we chanted that they were not alone in Spanish. Once we knew the children were on the bus we flooded the street and stopped the bus from moving. We stood on all sides of the bus. We signed 🤟🏻, we waved, we did everything in our power to show those children that we love them and are fighting for them. In this picture Imam Omar Suleiman is placing his hand on a child's hand and praying. If you look closely you can see tiny hands pressed against the tinted windows. I was not prepared to witness any of this. My tears didn't stop from the moment we realized what was on that bus. I hope those beautiful babies knew we would do anything to give them their family
