Authors of The Resistance is elevating the story of Heidy Sanchez, a devoted mother who was forcibly deported to Cuba and barred from bringing her 17-month-old daughter with her. In a time of escalating racial profiling and ICE crackdowns, Heidy’s case stands as a harrowing example of the dehumanizing and destructive impact of U.S. immigration enforcement.br br Despite having no criminal record, Heidy was detained and ripped away from her child—another casualty of an immigration system more focused on punishment than protection. ICE has turned family separation into a weapon, fracturing lives and communities under the guise of national security. Now, a mother and child live in forced limbo, their bond severed by borders and bureaucracy.br br This is not just a deportation. It is state violence. It is racialized cruelty. It is a war on motherhood, identity, and basic human rights. We demand accountability. We demand her return. We demand ICE MELT.
