Catherine Rax, 25, was detained along with her partner and another coworker after a traffic stop escalated into an immigration enforcement operation at Chile & Chili's Taqueria in Tallahassee, where all three worked. Rax, who is originally from Guatemala, said her coworkers had become like family and that she sends money home to help her mother, who is battling cancer. Speaking from inside the Flagler County Jail, she described the experience as 'not living — it's surviving' and said she did not know when she would be released or see her family again. One of the three men detained with her is now being held at a state-run immigration detention facility in Baker County, and community members held a rally outside the now-closed restaurant in support of the detained workers. Owner Marco Tenorio, who was in Mexico and watched the raid unfold via security cameras, said it was the third immigration operation the business had faced in just over a month and described workers having panic attacks during the raid. He announced the taqueria's permanent closure, saying he did not want to keep exposing his employees, after several other workers quit in the aftermath.
