Stranded in Trump's America
Some migrants took Trump up on his $1,000 offer, but many have not gotten what was promised.
A Venezuelan mother of two, Pérez, 25, wanted to leave the country after her partner was detained by immigration authorities. She had been relying on charity for food and shelter in Chicago.
"I don’t want to be here anymore"
Pérez thought it'd be safer to return to Venezuela with her children than to stay in the U.S., despite having a permit to work legally and an open asylum request.
- Many Venezuelans were getting picked up on the streets and taken into custody.
- Pérez's situation was not unique, with others facing similar struggles.
