Families of undocumented immigrants live in fear of law enforcement.  A traffic stop for a dubious charge ended up separating one member from the rest of her large, close family.  They had come together from Michoacán, Mexico, to settle in Arvin, California in 2001, and lived happily there until one sister was arrested and deported, leaving her sibling to reconsider her view of the U.S. justice system.  "There was a time when I admired the fairness of our government and justice system.
