Linda builds a new life in California but news from home keeps chasing her. Members of Pueblos Unidos were detained in Michoacan, carrying an arsenal of weapons from the U.S. Linda’s fate depends on the U.S. asylum system, where Mexicans rarely win cases. She’s safe for now but her future in the U.S. is still unclear — a fate thousands of other asylum seekers share.

Linda and her family finally arrive in California. Their journey to safety has finally ended, but the one towards a new life has just begun, together with a case for asylum. Everything is new… New tortillas, a new language, new people, new schools.

But things only got worse… before she knew it, almost every household owned a gun, most of which were smuggled from the US. In February 2021, she experienced the kind of paralyzing pain that led her to flee the only home she ever knew.
