More leopards eating faces.
CHICAGO In the streets outside, agents sent by the president she had voted for were rounding up suspected undocumented workers. But here, in a small basement apartment, Aleah Arundale found herself hatching an escape plan for a Venezuelan woman and her family.
It will be calmer there, Arundale said into a translation app on her phone that showed the words on the screen in Spanish. And there is a school 10 minutes away.
Gabriella, 36, nodded to Arundale as she hastily stuffed clothes into a large pink suitcase in the middle of the floor. Her husband searched for the car keys. They wanted to leave that night.
Arundales getaway plan was to shelter the family several hours away in a home in Michigan that belonged to Arundales parents. Gabriella and her husband had work permits and pending asylum cases, but federal agents were patrolling their neighborhood where many immigrants lived, and they were terrified they could be picked up and separated from their 6-year-old daughter.
