Winds will turn, coming from the

The Weather
WASHINGTONPOST.COM/WEATHER. TWITTER: @CAPITALWEATHER. FACEBOOK.COM/CAPITALWEATHERvolunteers. On the day the
Supreme Court heard arguments
about DACA, Martínez handled
the social media accounts for the
organization.
“We would still have her on
the team if we had the space and
funding,” says Sara Benitez, vice
president of organizing and
campaign. “We got clued in very
fast that Arlin was very gifted
and unafraid.”
Sometimes too unafraid.
Recently, during an event at her
school, Martínez confronted Jay
Carney, who works for Amazon,
about the company’s ties to U.S.
Immigration and Customs
Enforcement. She also wrote
about it. Jeff Bezos, who heads
Amazon (and owns The
Washington Post) is behind the
scholarship that supports
Martínez’s education.
“I think it takes a lot of
courage to not sit down at a time
when others would,” Benitez
says.
Martínez says she wasn’t sure
if she would lose her scholarship
or get expelled, but she knew she
couldn’t stay quiet. “I would not
be myself if I didn’t stand up for
what I believe in,” she says.
“Even if it meant my future, I
prefer to have spoken out for my
community than to not have.”
What could be more
American than feeling the
freedom to speak out, to step up,
to say the things that make
people uncomfortable because
those who have the most to lose
can’t?
Depending on what happens
with DACA, Martínez may have
to change her goals. But for now,
she hopes to finish college, get a
job as a lawyer and give her
family a strong foundation
before she returns to Mexico,
where the grandmother who
gave her that prayer card
16 years ago still lives.
The plastic that once
smoothly covered the card now
curls upward at the edges. But it
otherwise remains intact.
Martínez is no longer the little
girl who used it to pray, but by
placing it on the wall she passes
most each day, she is still
keeping it close. She is still
finding comfort in it.
More than that, she says, “It
reminds me what I’m here for.”
[email protected]enforcement agents, deported
and would have to make the
journey all over again to get
back to her.
“Every day, I prayed to the
guardian angel to bring my
mother back,” Martínez, now 20,
recalls. “I would just say the
same prayer until he granted my
miracle, and we were reunited.”
The pictures snapped in front
of the Supreme Court on
Tuesday, when viewed by future
generations, will show young
people standing firm, holding
signs, looking bold and unafraid.
They will show a political
protest in the face of one of the
most divisive issues of our times:
the Trump administration’s push
to end the Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
program, which offers
protections to undocumented
immigrants brought to the
United States as children.
But if we look at Martínez,
who was one of the many
immigrants in that crowd, it’s
clear that those images also
capture something else: a show
of power by people who, in many
moments of their lives, have felt
anything but powerful.
To look at Martínez now is to
see a done-holding-back activist
who sometimes steps over lines
that others wouldn’t approach.
She says and does things that
don’t fit the comfortable
narrative of the grateful, good
immigrant who just wants a spot
in this country. She is not all
“thank you, thank you, thank
you.”
She will tell you that she
hopes for citizenship, even as
she explains that if she got it, she
doesn’t think she would ever feel
American.
“In this country, I’m fighting
for my future and the future of
my family, and that does not feel
welcoming,” she says. After her
mother made it back into the
United States, the family moved
to North Carolina, pulled by the
promise of jobs in the textile
industry. Martínez grew up
there, but it never felt like home,
she says.
“North Carolina was not
welcoming to me,” she says. “It
has never welcomed my family.
In seventh grade, I was speaking
VARGAS FROM B1
Spanish one day, and my teacher
told me: ‘This is an American
school. This is America. And if
you can’t speak English, get
out.’ ”
It didn’t matter that she was
an honors student or that she
was fluent in English. It didn’t
matter that she had spent so
many years in the United States
that she had forgotten her
indigenous family’s language.
“Get out” was what she was
told then.
“Get out” is what she is being
told now.
The stories of DACA
recipients are often
heartwarming heralds of high
achievers. They tell of doctors,
lawyers and other professionals
who make our country stronger.
Those narratives offer important
reminders about the impressivecontributions immigrants can
make when they don’t have to
worry about deportation and are
given work permits.
But the danger in them is that
they allow us to feel as if we are
embracing immigrants, even as
our immigration system
continues to make life difficult
for their family members,
neighbors and classmates who
didn’t qualify for DACA. We’re
not talking about people who
commit crimes after arriving in
the country. We are talking
about people who are deemed
criminals just for coming.
“Our fight is beyond DACA,”
Martínez wrote in recent op-ed
for Latino Rebels. “The
movement continues with or
without DACA’s continuation.”
On Twitter, she has written,
“Do not criminalize my parents.”Martínez was a freshman in
high school when she first
qualified for the DACA program.
She took honors and AP classes,
but during her senior year, she
realized she had no way to pay
tuition at the colleges that
accepted her. After graduation,
she worked two jobs, hoping to
save enough to attend
community college. She knew
her family had placed their
hopes in her. Her grandmother
was illiterate, and her mother’s
schooling didn’t go beyond the
fifth grade.
Martínez recalls the day she
and her mother were watching
TV and learned that the Trump
administration was ending
DACA. Martínez realized that
her deferral expired in
March 2018 and that she
probably wouldn’t be eligible fora renewal.
“I looked at my mom and was
like, ‘It’s going to be okay,’ ”
Martínez says. “But deep inside,
I also knew that was it for me.
There was going to be no
education for me. From now on,
it was going to be about
surviving.”
She wasn’t yet involved in
activism, but that moment
propelled her toward
organizations that were fighting
for and alongside immigrants.
Not long after that, she landed a
full scholarship from
TheDream.US to attend Trinity
Washington University.
Last fall, she took on an
internship with Faith in Public
Life, a D.C. organization that
represents a network of 50,000
faith leaders. She no longer
works there, but she stillTHERESA VARGAS
