At 13, she came from there to the US on a visitor’s visa and attended public schools, got married, got divorced, has two children, and works full-time at a child-care center. The May 4th Austin America-Statesman reports: Like millions of people in the United States, she is unauthorized to live and work here. A federal immigration officer discovered that secret in the Travis County Jail, where Maria had been booked on a misdemeanor assault charge after she was involved in a dispute with her ex-husband. They had argued during a custody exchange of their children. Maria said that knowing her ex’s history of domestic violence, she thought it wise to call police. (...

If you suspect someone is being abused, or if you feel uneasy in your own situation, consider these questions. Does your partner: humiliate, criticize, or yell at you? treat you so badly that you’re embarrassed for your friends or family to see? ignore or put down your opinions or accomplishments? blame you for his own abusive behavior? see you as property or a sex object, rather than as a person? have a bad and unpredictable temper? hurt you, or threaten to hurt or kill you? threaten to take your children away or harm th...
