I’m tired of people acting like someone’s life matters less because they weren’t an American on paper. He spent 35 years here, raised three American children, and built his life in Houston. He was an American in every way that mattered.
The artist behind this painting, Criselda Vasquez, painted this portrait of her parents in 2017. The man in this painting, her father, was recently taken by ICE. He has lived in the United States for forty years. This loss has made it hard for the family to support themselves. If you want to support them, you can go to their GoFundMe here:

ICE agents in Minnesota grabbed 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos in his driveway as he returned from school with his father.
Another adult who lives in the home was outside and begged to take the child, but agents refused and instead used the boy as bait to knock on doors to see if anyone else was inside. They then took Liam and his father away and sent them to Texas.
According to the school superintendent, Liam’s family has an active asylum case and no deportation orders.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just flash-banged and tear-gassed a 6-month-old baby.
ICE agents began tear-gassing a residential neighborhood after shooting a man nearby.
As the gas spread, a family got into their vehicle to escape the tear gas.
In the video, a man is seen standing in front of a car with airbags deployed on all sides, explaining that he told the agents he was trying to leave his house, with his family because of the tear gas.
Despite this, an agent threw multiple flash-bang grenades at the vehicle anyway… while children were inside.
Inside the van was a 6-month-old infant who stopped breathing after the attack. EMTs were called and taking the baby in an ambulance.
This was not a chaotic crowd encounter. The family was attempting to leave, not confront officers.
Federal agents are creating danger and then punish civilians for trying to escape it.

ICE rappel from Black Hawk helicopters—detain U.S. citizens.
Grab everyone at apartment complex—even zip tie the children together.
"They had the Black people in one van, and immigrants in another van," said witness.
"One agent literally laughed... He said, 'F them kids.'"
Trucks and military style vans were used to separate the children from their parents—destroying neighborhood property in the process.
"My building was shaking... Then I looked out the window, and it's a Black Hawk helicopter!" said another witness.
"We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."
ICE released statement saying the raid went "smoothly," and was "targeted" to find gang members at the apartment complex on the south side of Chicago. #DemsUnited
In this raid, they dragged naked children out of their homes and put them into U-Haul vans. And now they're bragging about it.
U.S. citizens had their doors smashed down and were forced into handcuffs and held outside for hours. Senior citizens held outside, their homes trashed.
Now the whole world knows about the cruelty in the hallways of 26 Federal Plaza, I’m haunted by so many tragic arrests
In a matter of seconds, lives shattered. A child’s whimper, a mother’s wail.
The incalculable betrayal, inflicting the very thing they came here to escape.
