Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign promise of mass deportations has had a profound impact on immigrant communities. His administration’s aggressive immigration policies, including allowing ICE agents to enter schools and churches, have left many families living in fear.
This fear was poignantly captured in a note written by a child, which has since gone viral. The note, shared on social media, reads: “If ICE takes me, I’ll be in El Salvador. You’re my best friend, like the brother I never had. I cry every night because I’m scared they’ll come to my school and take me.” The child’s words, accompanied by tearful drawings, have resonated deeply, amassing over 12 million views on X (formerly Twitter).
