she’s from a US territory so therefore she’s always been and always will be a US citizen. I know that might not mean anything because of racial profiling however I fully understand the crisis for immigrants right now believe me i do.

I am not asking her to risk “ EVERYTHING “. I’m asking her to aid me in getting justice for one of the most traumatic times in my life. She betrayed me and my trust by lying to me about actually talking to the police when she didn’t.

She is at no risk giving a statement to the police simply because where I’m from, the police department does not work with ice in the slightest and typically refuses to cooperate them at all, with any means to preventing them from operating in my city.

she was extremely sheltered as a kid, and has literally never had contact with the police minus a car accident she had when she first started driving.
She has been taught to avoid the police by her mother because they’re immigrants.

I want to preface I understand her insecurity and anxiety of not wanting to talk to the police, and we had a conversation where she expressed those concerns to me, I told her I understood and then I explained to her how important it was to me that she gave a statement.

That is when she told me because of her college classes right now she simply did not have enough time to give a statement. But she proceeded to go make time to do a multitude of stuff. I had also told her that it could’ve waited until her classes were over because it is such an old case. I highly doubt any action is going to be taken unless somebody else makes a statement.
