As Hurricane Florence looms, woman feared deportation for family if they went to shelter
The woman's youngest daughter told her: "I don't want to go to a shelter because I don't want to be separated from you."

WILMINGTON, N.C. — A woman living in North Carolina who said she doesn't have proper documentation was afraid to flee her home as Hurricane Florence approaches because she feared immigration agents might arrest her and her family.

But Iris, who asked her last name be withheld out of fear of deportation, said she and her family would leave their Wilmington home along the North Carolina coast and go to an emergency shelter at a nearby school after officials assured immigrants they would not be arrested and deported if they went to shelters.

"My worry was when someone said, 'If you go to shelters, you have to be careful,' someone told me they weren't accepting people who were undocumented. But if they went, they would run the risk of being taken [from] there, and I didn't want to run the risk with my kids," Iris told NBC News in Spanish through a translator Wednesday.
