Letter: You don’t need to see my identification
(Tatiana Fernandez | AP Photo) This Aug. 22, 2018 photo shows Marcos Guada's his transfer notification and passport inside his room at a hotel in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic. Back in Venezuela this summer, Guada, now 50, wasn’t going to take any chances even if the immigration judge back in the U.S. didn’t think he was in imminent danger. In three days, he boarded a plane and flew to the Dominican Republic, where he is living with his son. Recently while I was at the gym, an older white man asked me if I was now carrying my passport because of President Donald J. Trump’s recent statements and actions regarding people of color.
