Gabriela Benitez

Gabriela Benitez was born in Chihuahua, Mexico and immigrated with her family to Memphis, TN at the age of 6.  Living most of her life as an undocumented student and her family currently facing the deportation of her father, Daniel. She recently moved to Chicago and is a member of Organized Communities Against Deportations (OCAD) a project of Undocumented Illinois that works on stopping deportations of individuals in the state. Her father, like the almost 2 million fathers, mothers, sons and daughters have ripped away from their families due to the Obama’s administration quota.  ICE’s 400,000 quota is what keeps the deportation machine working with corporations and private prisons profiting from the criminalization and incarceration of our communities.
