## Resource

A year after “Operation Midway Blitz” tore families apart in Chicago, the Jaime family’s American dream crumbled. Omar, a law-abiding father with a work permit, was detained en route to English class and deported to Colombia—despite being deemed low risk. His wife fought tirelessly but lost; their children, unable to survive without his income, followed. Only 17-year-old Juan stayed behind, determined to build his future in Chicago while missing his entire support system. His sister, Victoria, now faces an alien world without her childhood friends. As thousands more are swept up under this aggressive deportation wave—including many with no criminal record—the family’s story is part of a growing legal battle against systemic injustice.
