My Parents are Undocumented, I am a U.S. Citizen

I'm 15, born in Houston, and I am a U.S. citizen. My parents are not. They came here from El Salvador 20 years ago. Every day when I come home from school, my biggest fear is seeing an unfamiliar car parked outside. I'm terrified that ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is there to take my parents. If they are deported, what happens to me? I am a citizen of this country, but I live in constant fear. The recent talk about "increased interior enforcement" keeps me awake at night. #MixedStatusFamily #Undocumented #FearOfDeportation #FamilySeparation #USCitizen
