Interview with Recently Freed Undocumented Immigrant Detainees

Personal interview with recently freed undocumented immigrants, Erica Rodriquez and her 17 year old son, Christian. After being realized from the detention center, she and her son highlight in detail about her trip from El Salvado to the U.S. She talks about crossing the river, being held in something they call the “Ice Box” for 3 days before being transfered to something they call the “Dog House” in Texas (due to the chained fences around the facility.” She was told she would not be separated from her family; however, she was. They lost weight, because they were too sad to eat and did not experience sunlight. They were there for a month and 8 days.
