Families are still separated. This is Raquel. Her two sons are among the 565 kids STILL separated from their families. Deadlines have come and gone for the #Trump Admin. + kids remain in gov. custody. Raquel is afraid her family will be forgotten. @NBCLatino @NBCNightlyNews
This is Raquel’s 9yo son - being held at a gov. facility in Houston. He has autism and doesn’t understand why he can’t go home with his Mom.
Raquel’s eldest son, 13yo, is being held in a separate facility in San Antonio. She tried to get to both facilities as often as she can to visit her sons.

This is Marklen’s Mom, Rafaela. In her native Mayan language from her home in Guatemala, she begs the U.S. gov to release her son who has been held in HHS custody for almost 3 months. @NBCLatino
Marklen’s Mom is sick and didn’t have enough $ to go with him to the U.S. but her older son Tomas lives in Brooklyn and she hoped Marklen could stay with him. But the gov. says he is ‘ineligible’ for family reunification and won’t release him to Tomas.

Mexicans are headed to the polls today to elect a new President... #AMLO is the favorite, many have called him #Mexico’s answer to @realDonaldTrump analysts say that might not be true and voters think he’ll stick up to #Trump who say their current President #Nieto never did
87 million Mexicans (who live in and out of the country) are registered to vote. Juan Gomez-Cruces, 35, who lives in Atlanta, was so unhappy with all the candidates, he just wrote an “X” on his early ballot and sent it back to #Mexico -Read more @NBCLatino nbcnews.to/2KAlZNi
Gomez-Cruces says he watched all 3 debates and one was more disappointing than the next. One debate: candidate ‘El Bronco’ says - “we need to cut off the hand of anyone who steals in the public service.” The moderator asks “literally?” ‘El Bronco’ replies “literally.”

This is 5yo Genesis from Honduras. She has been sleeping on the floor for 2 days at this border crossing with her Mom and brother. As she tucks her teddy bear in bed, the rain falling in Matamoros seeps onto her cardboard mat Genesis has had a fever since she got here @NBCLatino
A thunderstorm makes its way through Matamoros - Elsy attempts to shield her children from the water by turning her back from the rainstorm. The floor (where they will sleep tonight) is covered in a massive puddle of water.
Jennifer holds her cardboard up behind Angel’s face to shield him from the rain. The rain is coming from both sides of the bridge way. They will sleep on this small piece of cardboard tonight on the bridge.
