text: Jane Lee, You want to know how "immigration policy is ripping families apart."  Minerva has been a Hawaii resident for 20 years.  She has two children, both of whom are US citizens.  One of her children is an adult, and the other is a minor.  She is working to support herself and her younger child.  Minerva has no criminal record, and she poses no danger to the community.  Deporting Minerva would separate her from her children, leaving the younger one without her support.  There are cases similar to this one.  Single mothers with children who are US citizens have been deported, leaving their minor children without support.  That's how immigration policy is ripping families apart.
