00:11I haven't spoken with the family directly, but I have been in touch with President Teresa Romero

00:50because of fear and terror caused by this administration. It's not just undocumented

00:58immigrants. There's lawful immigrants that are being rounded up. There's United States citizens

01:02that are being detained. There are military veterans. He called it collateral arrests.
