My Own Mother Illegally Immigrated To The U.S. Then I Became A Prosecutor At ICE. I was still waiting for my bar exam results but dreamed of becoming an immigration judge. My mother was thrilled, thanking “Divino Niño Jesús,” whom she credited for “such a blessing.”My brother was less excited. My mother crossed through the southern U.S. border without a visa but became a lawful permanent resident before I was born. I resigned from ICE in early 2023 because immigration law is ill-equipped to handle the complexities of modern families.
