Worried Guatemalan mom waits in US for a daughter taken away

Buena Ventura Martin-Godinez, from Guatemala, cries during an interview with the Associated Press at her home in Homestead, Fla., on Wednesday, June 27, 2018, describing how much she misses her daughter, Janne, who has been detained in Michigan after crossing the U.S. border with her father. Martin didn’t get to speak to her daughter, Janne, until June 6 - three weeks after her husband was apprehended. They have spoken several times by phone in recent days. “I tell her I love her so much, to forgive me for everything that is happening,” she said, her eyes at times filling with tears.
