Maru Mora-Villalpando, a US based community organiser and mother has been served with a deportation notice despite living with her daughter in the US for over 20 years. She is one of many outspoken, undocumented campaigners – from Haiti, Trinidad, Central and Latin America -- targeted by the Trump administration as part of its attacks against immigrant communities. Deportations have risen by nearly 50% as a result. Maru leads the Northwest Detention Center Resistance (NWDCR), an organization co-founded when immigrants held at the Center went on hunger strike in 2014 protesting their inhumane treatment. Since then, Maru has led campaigning that has made the Detention Center a site of local resistance with weekly rallies and vigils outside its gates. She is also part of an international network of anti-deportation campaigners. |
