Montgomery County officials condemned a brutal ICE raid in Lower Providence, where over 20 unmarked vehicles, some with Uber stickers, and masked agents stormed a home, injuring Guadalupe López and alarming children present. Witness Dr. Jeanine Darby described heartbreaking scenes of families in shock, children crying, and homes shattered, all while police only maintained public safety—not involved in the raid. Community protests erupted, criticizing the aggressive tactics that instill fear in families. Critics argue such actions cause trauma but supporters say they enforce law.

A Lower Providence Township supervisor at the scene of the raid Monday said she saw “children crying, a family in shock and a home destroyed after agents broke down the door.”

WHYY

I lost my father. I stopped talking to my mother. I lost my brother.
Am I the problem? No. I’m the cycle breaker.

I’m roaming the world alone — not a tourist, a free man. A beast of a man.

I'm Human Not a Tourist

My father was an alcoholic, and I haven’t talked to him for years.

I am learning to live my life without my uncle, my grandmother, and my grandfather. No, it’s not because they have passed away; they are still alive. I am surviving and benefiting from my anxiety with them because I can’t be okay with them anymore. I can’t see any possibility of being happy with them anymore. My survival is important; it doesn’t mean I can blindly depend on them.

Thinking of showing my therapist this photograph of my grandmother from about 1922 or so just as proof that my family is haunted.

I was befriended on FB by an uncle I didn't know existed, then I saw photos of my father and half-sister, both of whom I hadn't seen in almost 50 years. I wasn't super friendly to him, I was very angry, and he unfriended me. I was initially mad about this, but now I realize it's for the best. I'm happier they have faded back into nothingness.
