“Guadalupe García de Rayos -- who inspired protests in Phoenix, Arizona, when she was detained Wednesday (2/8) during a routine check-in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) -- was deported to Mexico on Thursday morning (2/9).
"García de Rayos, a 35-year-old mother of two, came to the United States illegally when she was 14 years old. She has been required to regularly check in with ICE officials since 2008, when she was caught using a fake Social Security Number to gain employment.” - Katie Reilly (2/9/17)/ Time Poverty can be both the inspiration and ruination of dreams; but the tipping point is at the heart of a nation. - (Poverty) Kevin O’Kendley Please give to Farm Worker Justice: 1126 16th Street NW, Suite 270/ Washington, DC 20036/ 202-293-5420

A carbuncle is a roiled mass of skin or a beautiful gem. The incredible gem is pictured in the logo below and at the bottom of the short story section...
Kevin O'Kendley is the owner of Carbuncle Moon, and the author of all original material -- cartoons, blogs, shorts, essays, articles -- on the website (there has been a very limited editorial input in some of my work). All quoted sources are noted. I am responsible for all posts. The only blogs not time-dated are those advertising nonprofits. All nonprofits are vetted, investigated, though after the summer of 2018 my vetting has lapsed: (6/1/21).
