Over the last month, thousands of people have rallied in Austin and across the country to protest the Trump administration’s so-called zero-tolerance immigration policy, which has left thousands of migrant children separated from their parents after attempting to cross the U.S. border.

She spoke with KUT about being separated from her brother and what it's been like growing up in Austin as an undocumented resident.
