"Inez" looks at artwork her great grandmother brough to the family

In a normal looking middle-class home in a normal looking Easton neighborhood, Inez and her family always have something on their minds. Namely, not knowing whether today’s the day they will be taken away from all they’ve known.

Inez, an office worker who asked that her last name be withheld so that she doesn’t become a target, is a full-fledged American citizen. Has been for 13 years. But born a Mexican, she can’t hide her brown skin. And that, she says, makes her a target for the masked roving crews from ICE – the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
