Anastasia
I came to the U.S. in the winter of 2006. Life back home in Mexico was tough for me and my family. I dreamt of going to college and graduating but with my family’s economic status, that dream was too costly and impossible.
At least I was able to graduate high school and that is something I am proud of since I was also working at the time to help my family. I was always looking for an opportunity to have a better life as a young woman.June 23, 2023 -

“I hope my story is helpful to someone else…and can inspire many women to be stronger. We need to help young women identify toxic relationships, so that there are fewer Camilas that go through such difficult things, let alone have our children suffer.”

Tahirih Files Comments on Security Bars Delay
Tahirih has recently filed comments which object to the continued delay (in lieu of rescission) of the security bars rule. The security bars rule is premised on the false and harmful notion that immigrants may pose a risk to national security by threatening public health. This administration should rescind the rule rather than continue to delay its implementation, risking the possibility that an incoming administration could let it take effect without further notice and comment.
