CHICAGO (AP) The 2-year-old boy was so frightened, he stuttered.
Mommy, mommy, mommy, he repeated, clinging to her.
His mother, Molly Kucich, had been grocery shopping when her husband called, panicking. She heard immigration raid. Then: tear gas.
She abandoned her grocery cart and drove as fast as she could to her toddler and his 14-month-old brother, who, on that warm October Friday, were among the hundreds of Chicago children caught suddenly in the turmoil of the Trump administrations immigration crackdown.
