Event Details
In the fall of 2017, immigrant Esmeralda Monzón and her family face financial struggles amidst the possible cancellation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Unable to work pending the renewal of her DACA and work permit, Esmeralda feels powerless and burdensome to her family.
The family's situation worsens when Immigration & Customs Enforcement officers detain Esmeralda, believing her to be in the country illegally. Encountering armed officers and facing the threat of deportation, Esmeralda experiences a panic attack. With neither of her family members able to come to her aid, Esmeralda has to manage through her panic to try to prove her valid DACA status to the officers - all without revealing that her mother is undocumented.
