A mother in south Minneapolis did not attend her daughter's high school graduation due to fears of deportation.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has reported approximately 3,000 arrests as part of this operation. The girl's father has also remained indoors for nearly three weeks, closing his small service-based business indefinitely, reportedly due to similar fears.

The family's adult children, who are U.S. citizens, have stated their intention to remain in the country should their parents be deported.
