‘I want Daddy.' As ICE detains parents, children are left behind.
'I don't want birthday,' Jhon said. 'I want Daddy.' Across Massachusetts, thousands of immigrants — many with no criminal record — have been detained by immigration officials. In May alone, Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Left behind are their children, some too young to understand what has happened. Advertisement There is no publicly available data on how many parents have been arrested in recent months, or how many children have had a parent detained by ICE. Almost 30,000 US citizen children in Massachusetts live with at least one undocumented parent, according to a report from the For the families of Advertisement For a child, the disappearance of a parent can be psychologically crushing. Toledo holds hands with Damian (right) and Jhon as they leave Mass at St. Stephen Parish in Framingham. Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff Children in these situations can be prone to anxiety and depression, says Charles A. Nelson III, a professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children's Hospital. Having an attachment figure suddenly vanish can be 'really devastating to kids,' Nelson says, in part because they thrive on predictability and constancy. 'When we say 'taken away,' there's this mysterious black box that exists on the other side.' In interviews over the last several months, families across Massachusetts recounted how the lives of their children have been In New Bedford, a 1-year-old girl spent weeks this spring and summer looking out the window, waiting for her father, who is from Honduras and was detained for almost a month, to come home. In Framingham, a 4-year-old girl was left in the care of a family friend for days after her mother was suddenly detained, until her father could rush to the United States from Brazil. In Lynn, a 17-year-old girl watched four immigration officials in plainclothes arrest her father, who is from Guatemala, right outside their front door. Now she's afraid to leave the house. In these situations, federal officials ask parents if they want their children to be deported with them. If not, ICE will place the children 'with a safe person the parent designates,' Tricia McLaughlin, the assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement to the Globe. Twins Damian (right) and Jhon ride bikes around their kitchen. Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff A family portrait shows Toledo and her husband, Nexan Asencio Corado, holding their twins. Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff 'DHS takes its responsibility to protect children seriously and will continue to work with federal law enforcement to ensure that children are safe and protected,' McLaughlin said. Advertisement Parents who are living here unlawfully can use a mobile application called CBP Home to 'We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live [the] American dream,' McLaughlin said. 'If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.' Jhon and Damian, the twin brothers in Milford, have spent almost two months without their dad. To make ends meet, Christina Toledo, their mother, has picked up extra shifts at her two jobs as a school bus driver and office manager. Toledo, like her boys, is a US citizen. She and her husband, Nexan Asencio Corado, had hoped they could normalize his status. He came in unauthorized about a decade ago from Guatemala, was arrested near the border and deported, and then returned. He eventually received an approved petition, through his marriage to Toledo, to begin the process toward lawful permanent residency, and had a pending application to stay here legally while the process moved forward. The couple have been together for almost a decade, and have been married for four years. Just after dawn on May 30, Asencio Corado was driving to his job in carpentry and framing. Immigration officers stopped his van. After he was pulled over, not far from their home, Asencio Corado ran back to the house — he was trying, his wife says, to tell her what was happening. They had been watching the news of recent arrests, and were worried that he could be apprehended without any notification to their family, which had happened in some cases. So they made a pact: If Asencio Corado thought he was in danger of being arrested, he would get as close to home as he could, to alert Toledo that he was being taken. Advertisement Toledo, 38, with Jhon (left) and Damian at home in Milford. Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff And that's what happened on that Friday in late May, when Toledo heard a scuffle outside. Video footage of the arrest, which Toledo took on her cellphone, shows two masked immigration agents handcuffing her husband in the backyard. From an upstairs window, Toledo and the twins saw federal agents lead Asencio Corado to an unmarked car. 'Daddy,' Damian can be heard saying in the background of the video. 'Arrest, arrest.' Asencio Corado may face a losing battle to stay in the country under the Trump administration. DHS said in immigration court documents this year that he is not eligible for legal status since he reentered the country unlawfully, though they acknowledged he had no known criminal record. Officials at the detention center where her husband is being held told him that he would be deported, Toledo says. Still, she hopes that one day, her husband will be allowed to return home — and to his routine with their twins. 'I'm going to be sad for my whole life until you come back home, my love,' Toledo told him in a recent call, in a mixture of Spanish and English. 'I just miss you, mucho. ' 'Truly, I'm sorry,' Asencio Corado told her. 'I feel guilty because you got married to someone who is illegal.' Advertisement 'And it was the best decision of my life, don't you understand that?' Toledo replied. Damian (left) and Jhon at the kitchen window in June. Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff Before his arrest, the twins would take his coffee mug and lunchbox off his hands in the evenings — Toledo always had a meal prepared for him — after he came back from his job in construction; the family had just started their own residential framing business. They'd greet him with kisses and hugs. Both boys are crushed, but Jhon is especially attached to his father, Toledo says. Asencio Corado held him every night at bedtime, until he fell asleep in his arms. Since his father disappeared, Jhon has been acting out — stomping his feet, throwing his toys. Sometimes, he'll cry randomly while playing games with his brother. Out of nowhere, he'll say it over and over: Daddy. Toledo was born in the United States. Her father is from Ecuador and her mother is Puerto Rican. She has never been to Guatemala, and neither have the twins. If Asencio Corado is deported, she said, she might consider moving there, though the immigration process could take years. She doesn't want the boys to grow up without their father. S ome children, like Jhon and Damian, have spent weeks and weeks without one of their parents. Others have been separated from their sole caretakers. Last month at the Goodnow Brothers Elementary School in Marlborough, families gathered with balloons and flowers on the sidewalk outside the school, eager to celebrate their fifth-graders' graduation from elementary school. As the ceremony began, Luna Faltz was trying to hold back tears. She wore a necklace with charms of butterflies on it, which her grandmother had gotten her the day before. Her mother would usually paint her nails, but now they were bare. Advertisement Daiane Faltz, Luna's mother, was locked inside an immigration detention center in Karnes City, Texas, 2,000 miles away. Luna, 11, excelled at school; after arriving from Brazil about four years ago, she was already fluent in English, and she loved playing volleyball. In the last weeks of school, her mind kept wandering in class as she worried about her mother, who had been arrested by ICE on May 15 in Plymouth, and swiftly transferred to the detention facility in Texas. Luna, left, with a relative at her grandmother's home in Marlborough on June 6. Erin Clark/Globe Staff 'I had a hard day yesterday,' Luna said on a Friday just after school. 'I remembered my mom. I started crying.' Her teachers helped, encouraging her to take breaks, or play with a fidget toy when she got anxious. They offered extra hugs. Faltz is a single mother, and had Luna young. The two of them are extremely close; they had come to the United States from Brazil, fleeing domestic violence at home, the family said. They love girls' nights together, painting each other's nails, ordering food in their pajamas and watching Harry Potter. After her mother's arrest, Luna moved into her grandmother's apartment in Marlborough. Luna and her mother crossed the border without permission in 2021, according to records from DHS, but were first apprehended by immigration officials in Texas and expelled under Title 42, a pandemic-era immigration restriction. A few days later, they crossed into California and were again apprehended by immigration officials, but released on their own recognizance while they In 2024, Faltz was charged with operating a vehicle without a license. The charge was disposed of earlier this year after she paid her court fees, Marlborough District Court records show. According to her family, Faltz's license was suspended without her knowledge during that process; they later learned she missed a court date she didn't know she had. The notification had been sent to a former address. In May, Faltz was arrested by Plymouth police for driving with a suspended license, DHS said in an immigration court hearing last month.

Erin Clark/Globe Staff Luna blows a kiss to her mother during a video call as her grandmother, Bianca, holds the phone. Erin Clark/Globe Staff So Faltz missed watching Luna parade around the school with her classmates at graduation, waving at their families; her daughter hugging her classmates and taking pictures with her teachers. Luna's grandmother, who stood near Luna and her classmates as each name was called, managed to get Faltz on a video call from detention, just in time to see her daughter walk up and get her certificate on the school's lawn. Luna's grandmother held up the phone so her daughter could see. Luna flashed a grin as she realized who was on the screen. As soon as the ceremony was over, Luna rushed over to talk to her mother. ' Te amo, ' Faltz told her daughter on the phone in Portuguese. ' Também te amo, ' Luna responded. Luna dove into her grandmother's arms and buried her head in her neck. All around them, other parents hugged their children. Faltz could only watch her daughter cry. Time on video calls is always limited. Luna lifted her head and blew her mother a kiss before the screen went dark. I n the next week, Luna fell into a familiar pattern. She had constant reminders of her mom; the background of her phone screen was a picture of the letter 'D' traced in the sand on a beach, a heart around it. 'D' for Daiane. On a Thursday, 10 days after Luna's graduation, she noticed her grandmother was behaving secretively, taking all of her phone calls in private. When bedtime wasn't enforced, Luna knew something was afoot. So her grandmother relented and told her the surprise: Her mom was coming home in the early hours of Friday morning. Faltz had been released on bail, for the hefty sum of $8,000. It was nearly 2 a.m., and Luna was wide awake, jittery with anticipation. 'One minute!' her grandmother told her in Portuguese as they glanced at her phone, tracking the progress of the Lyft making its way west from South Station. When the car arrived at their apartment complex, Luna took off running. Daiane Faltz collapses onto the couch with Luna. Erin Clark/Globe Staff Luna massages her mother's hand. Erin Clark/Globe Staff They flew to each other and hugged. Faltz kissed Luna's head, over and over, sobbing with relief. 'I can't believe it,' Faltz said. Faltz had taken five separate buses over more than 48 hours to make it home. Luna could not stop smiling. She held her mother's hand as Faltz described detention: the small cells, the lack of privacy, the inedible food. Luna took out a kit with beads to make her mother a bracelet. Her grandmother served carne ensopada, a Brazilian dish similar to beef stew. Luna braided Faltz's hair, and inspected her mother's new, bulky ankle monitor. Daiane still had a long road ahead of her; she had to fight the deportation case that the US government was taking up against her. But on that night, all that seemed to matter was that mother and daughter were finally together again. On a mattress on the living room floor, they curled up side by side and fell asleep. B ack in Milford, Jhon and Damian's dad has not come home. Asencio Corado is in a federal prison holding ICE detainees in Berlin, New Hampshire. An immigration judge denied his bond. Toledo was devastated. Toledo, who is Catholic, has been going to church more often since her husband's detainment, searching for comfort in God. On a recent Sunday in June, Toledo and the twins walked up to St. Stephen Parish in Framingham for the 12:30 p.m. Mass in Spanish. Jhon balked at going inside. 'We're going to go see the angels,' Toledo told Jhon. 'Come on, for Daddy.' Toledo and Jhon during Mass at St. Stephen Parish. Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff He relented, and trotted ahead to catch up. During the service, Toledo closed her eyes in prayer as Damian sat on her lap, and Jhon nestled in next to her. She listened intently as the priest shared his sermon; in times of loneliness, and profound hardship, he said, parishioners should look to God for solace. The chattering of children were the only sounds breaking through the sermon. Jhon scanned the sanctuary walls, looking at paintings of scenes from the Bible, featuring men with beards and dark hair like his father's. He pointed. 'Daddy,' Jhon called out to them, breaking the hush of the Mass. 'Daddy. Daddy.' Giulia McDonnell Nieto del Rio can be reached at

After deadly Fall River fire, grief gives way to frustration and solidarity
The devastating fire Sunday night that also left 30 people hospitalized and dozens of others displaced has stirred feelings of disbelief and even anger in Fall River, a tightly-knit community on Massachusetts' South Coast. Some have resolved to help the victims and survivors however they can. Many are questioning whether the fire was preventable. Nina Amaral of New Bedford sorted through donations inside the chapel at Catholic Charities in Fall River on July 16. Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff Advertisement 'It's like, how does that happen,' said Rosa Vieira, a bartender at the nearby Clipper restaurant, which serves traditional Portuguese sirloin and seafood dishes . 'How do nine people die? It doesn't make sense.' At the restaurant, just a few blocks north of Gabriel House, the sense of frustration was palpable, with patrons exchanging pointed words over television news broadcasts about the fire . Sweating over a Portuguese lager Tuesday afternoon, owner Clement Raposo excoriated the facility, as well as city officials, for what he characterized as their derelict approach to safety. The building, he claimed, was known around town as being unsafe and 'filthy' inside. Raposo said a patron of the bar had lived, until Sunday, at Gabriel House, and thankfully had survived the fire. He said the patron told him Advertisement 'Now they're doing a big investigation,' Raposo said. 'What good is that? People already died.' Fall River is home to about 95,000 residents and includes a large immigrant community that has traditionally been Portuguese but in more recent years has included more It is also one of Massachusetts' poorest cities, where over 20 percent of the population falls below the poverty line. At Gabriel House, more than 75 percent of residents were on MassHealth, the state's Medicaid plan. Many in the community have expressed concern that the living home's elderly residents Members of the State Police were on the scene of the Gabriel House fire in Fall River on July 16. Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff Raposo said he'd heard that the fire department was understaffed — a claim made by the firefighters union, and 'I don't know if it would have saved lives,' said fire chief Jeffrey Bacon said Tuesday. 'That's speculation.' Raposo said it would be devastating if those claims were found to be true: 'you gotta pay them,' he said. Related : Chelsea Cote, 33, works down the street from Gabriel House as a cashier at a hot dog restaurant, greeting customers by name as they walk in the door and order onion rings or 'a dog with the works.' She also has a second job caring for senior citizens. Advertisement 'A lot of people around here need help,' she said. 'There are lots of people who are struggling, who don't have families or support or people to care for them.' This part of town, she said, is not exactly idyllic. Kennedy Park, a historic area near Gabriel House designed by Frederick Law Olmsted in the 1860s, is encircled by idling cars and open air drug use. 'There are always going to be drugs,' Cote said. 'But I don't get in trouble anymore... I was able to dig my way out.' Bryan Boyle, a longtime resident of Fall River, said the city has seen better days. 'Fall River is ugly,' he said. 'I don't mean it in a pejorative sense. I mean that it's an old, old city. There's a lot of opioid problems here. There's crime.' Boyle, a staff member at St. Anne's Catholic Shrine, said he stills finds moments of inspiration in his hometown. The day of the fire, as the Gabriel House smoldered just a few blocks away, the church's massive towers were lit up, as they are every night, shining over the neighborhood. 'We don't expect to lose nine souls, nine citizens, regardless of the reason,' said Boyle, 68. 'It's not anything to be happy about... But in the middle of that, there's hope.' The imposing Romanesque church has been mostly vacant for years, but still draws hundreds for its periodic masses and feasts, including several Gabriel House residents, Boyle said. All the worshippers at St. Anne's are believed to have survived, he added. Advertisement Boyle was born at St. Anne's Hospital, just down the road from the living home, and stayed in the building when it was a still a motel in the 1970s. He also carries the memories of another blaze in 1982 that 'I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often,' Boyle said. 'We've had so many mill fires here, so many horrendous fires ... The fact is that the old buildings here are very fragile. The owners really have to protect them.' Related : At the city's Catholic diocese Wednesday, residents in cars and pickup trucks Gino Raposa, of Fall River (center) carried in donations to the chapel at Catholic Charities in Fall River on July 16. Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff 'We have relatives handicapped at home right now being taken care by family,' said Linda Furtado, 47, of Acushnet. 'But if we didn't have family members who could take care of them, they could have very well been in a home like that.' Related : Dube, at the memorial, said that while some people hear about Fall River and think of violence, the community runs deeper. 'It's brought a lot of us together,' she said. 'I know that for a fact.' Krista Cormier, who has lived in Fall River for seven years, also stopped by Gabriel House Wednesday to honor the dead, putting a bouquet of purple and blue flowers outside. She said she heard purple was a 'healing color.' Advertisement 'It's been heavy on my heart all week,' she said. 'I came out to pay respects for the ones who have passed on, but especially family, friends, loved ones too.' Cormier, 46, said she's 'proud' of her community. 'How quickly people came together, not only just spiritually, but I've heard thousands of dollars have already been raised in no time for these folks… even just the outpouring of love and support and whatnot.' 'Fall River is an awesome community,' she added. For now, Boyle said, all the city can do is pray for the victims and help their families. Fall River is resilient, he said, noting that the city has reinvented itself 'so many times.' 'The town will do what it does,' he said. 'It'll recover. It'll be better. People will do what they need to do in order to make it better. Certainly, you mourn the loss. But you don't wear the black armband forever.' Camilo Fonseca can be reached at
