In late May, Ludin was separated from her children after being detained by U.S. border patrol. Now, after 40 days apart, she’s going to see them for the first time. Ludin has just been released from immigration detention near Austin, Tex. Her children are halfway across the country near Boston. They were one of the more than 2,000 families detained and separated under the Trump administration’s zero-tolerance immigration policy. Ludin had fled Guatemala with her two children, 9-year-old Keyri and 17-year-old Elmer, after a criminal group repeatedly threatened to kill her son. It ultimately became more than she could bear. Ludin believes they were the same people who came after her husband, Elmer Sr. He came to the U.S. two years ago, and has filed for asylum. The family asked us not to use their last name for fear of retaliation should they be forced back to Guatemala. But for now, she’s trying to stay in the U.S. and has also filed an asylum claim. An immigrant rights organizer who worked with Ludin while she was in detention is helping to reunite her with her kids in Boston. Ludin’s children were transferred to a shelter in Michigan and later released into the custody of their father. And finally Ludin and her family were together again.
