| Good afternoon, Chicago. A fourth-grade girl was in the lunchroom when she began to cry. School workers called for a counselor, and the student told them that her father had been arrested by immigration agents. Teachers reached out to the child’s mother, Ingrid Guanume, who told them federal immigration agents had taken her husband, Brayan Plata, while working a landscaping job in Skokie. Guanume and Plata live in Albany Park with a newborn, a five-year old autistic preschooler, and their older daughter. The loss has unsettled their family, Guanume said. She and her husband are Colombians seeking asylum. They arrived in Chicago in 2018, and her husband has a license and work permit, she said. “He’s the one who works, who takes care of his three children,” Guanume told the Tribune.
