This is also the person who earlier this year had already suffered a loss due to current policies. He and his husband had purchased a larger home to accommodate his brother’s family, but this spring the family chose to return to Nicaragua rather than deal with the possibility of deportation. The school district held a graduation ceremony for the two girls.
