A Lubbock, Texas, family was driving to Walmart for diapers and formula when a local police officer stopped them for a "lane change issue." Immigration authorities then arrived at the scene and detained the husband, who is in the process of obtaining his green card. His wife, a U.S. citizen, shared her family's uncertainty about their future in an exclusive interview with the Latin Times.
