'All Our Opportunity Was Taken Away': Sanctuary Family Slowly Restarts Life – Nation & World News

‘All Our Opportunity Was Taken Away’: Sanctuary Family Slowly Restarts Life By Laura Benshoff   May 13, 2021 After more than two years living in churches to avoid deportation to Jamaica, Clive and Oneita Thompson noticed some basic life skills had deteriorated. The first time Oneita went to take out money from an ATM, she said, “‘Wait a minute, what do you do again?’ … I truly did not remember how to use my card.” Sometimes, when Oneita wakes up in the morning, she needs to remind herself the family is free. “I always have to tell myself that it’s real,” Oneita said last week, about five months after the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sent a letter to the couple, saying that it would remove the last hurdle for them to get green cards.

Churches protected dozens of families under Trump. Now that they're leaving, is sanctuary over?

Churches protected dozens of families under Trump. Now that they’re leaving, is sanctuary over? Jeff Gammage, The Philadelphia Inquirer © MONICA HERNDON/The Philadelphia Inquirer/TNS Carmela Apolonio Hernandez, in pink sweater, buys snacks with her children Edwin, 12, Yoselin, 14, and Keyri, 16, across the street from the Germantown Mennonite Church in Philadelphia, Pa. on Monday, March 15, 2021. Hernandez and her four children intend to exit the church and live freely while pursuing a visa that would allow them to live and work permanently in the United States. Carmela Apolonio Hernandez doesn’t yet know where she’s going, but she knows what she’s leaving — the inside of Philadelphia church walls that for more than 1,100 days have been a comfortable prison.
