Immigrant seeks sanctuary in Manhattan church amid deportation fears
Amanda Morales, living in two rooms at Holy Rosary Church in northern Manhattan since August, seeks asylum from Guatemala while her three U.S. citizen children attend school nearby. With ICE arrests up 40 percent under Trump, Morales spends days hidden inside the church, volunteers teaching English, and hopes for a temporary stay as relatives back home worry.
