WHAT EFFECT IS THIS HAVING ON YOUR SON, SAUL?

It's very difficult for him. He still can't believe that I won't return to be with him in the United States. Yesterday was verydifficult for him. He had to watch as they arrested me and that scared him a lot. I tried to calm him. It hurt me to see my son watch. I hurt me deeply (sobbing). Yesterday was difficult for me and the evening was more difficult because he wasn't with me.


WHERE IS HE NOW?

He's on his way to Los Angeles right now to attend a protest. He has a very difficult choice. He wants to be in his country (the US), but he also wants to be with me. I'm giving him the space to think and decide what he wants. He loves me and I think that in a few days he will probably decide to be with his mother.

I'm not obligating him to stay with me in Mexico. I'm giving him time to think about what he wants to do. If he wants to keep struggling for me that's his choice. I'm not going to oblige him to come to Mexico. He's always been a part of the struggle.

I'm not obligating him to do anything. I'm not that kind of mother. He is speaking out because he wants to be with his mother.
