“We need the help of all of you because we feel depressed and forgotten in this place.”-Excerpt from letter

Artist statement: “I chose images of mothers holding children because I remember how it felt to be placed in I.C.E detention. All I wanted was the comfort of my mother and I think that the women are incredibly brave, strong and noble in those situations. [Even in detention] they are still fighting for the safety and well being of their children.” -Fidencio Martinez
