I had a student tell me today that they are moving back to their home country they were born in this upcoming Monday. Today is likely the last time I will ever see them. Evidently, ICE has been holding this student’s father in detention for ~6 months and they feel like it would be best for their family’s safety to return. Never knew any of this before today. I’m so sad for this student and their family. Kids should not have to carry burdens like this.

I dunno what my goal is in posting this other than to just vent into the ether. I’m so sad for the kid.
