My Husband Told the Sheriff to Report Me to ICE I was American only when it was convenient for him. When I filed a protective order, he put my family in danger.

Immigration can be used as leverage in abusive relationships: Weaponizing a lack of legal status, a threat to jeopardize proceedings or used to coerce someone to stay. This story illustrates how abusers are more empowered by anti-immigrant rhetoric and actions.
