Congresswoman Gwen Moore Condemns Deportation Orders for Yessenia Ruano

“Yessenia Ruano is a beloved member of her community who works in the Milwaukee Public School system as a teacher’s aide. She has anchored herself in Milwaukee and has a family and no criminal record. Deporting Yessenia will not make our country safer. This order will only separate Yessenia from her children and her community while exposing her to danger she was forced to flee in El Salvador. Instead of making America a beacon of hope for people like Yessenia, this Administration’s focus is only pushing cruelty that demonizes immigrants.”
