In a notable incident highlighting ongoing tensions over immigration policy, Diana Santillana Galeano, an employee at the Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center in Chicago, was detained by ICE last week as parents dropped off their children. The video footage of the struggle during her arrest sent shockwaves through the community, prompting an outpouring of support. After being held for days, Galeano was released from a detention center in Indiana, where she expressed gratitude for the community's advocacy. Her case reflects the wider context of aggressive immigration enforcement actions in Chicago, including massive operations that have targeted numerous individuals since September. The Department of Homeland Security clarified that while Galeano had entered the U.S. illegally in June 2023, she had since obtained work authorization under the current administration, emphasizing the complexity of her situation.
