“Strength; I survived a peritonitis infection that almost took my life while I was detained by ICE in recent years. While detained I lived and saw the dehumanization of people for more than 19 months. ICE is a system designed to implement psychological torture to people falling into its clutches.

I thank God for giving me freedom and health.”

–Aristoteles, 2020


“Fuerza; Sobreviví a una infección de peritonitis que casi me quitó la vida mientras estaba detenido por ICE en los últimos años. Mientras estaba detenido viví y vi la deshumanización de personas durante más de 19 meses. ICE es un sistema diseñado para implementar la tortura psicológica a las personas que caen en sus garras.

Doy gracias a Dios por darme libertad y salud.”

–Aristoteles, 2020
