Ice. Water frozen solid.

Ice. Immigration and Customs enforcement.

Ice. El hielo.

Eva polishes the table with a rag

taking care that everything shines like a pearl

Hopefully when the boss arrives,

she won't complain again

don't let it be that she reports her as an illegal

Jose takes care of the gardens

They look like Disneyland

He drives an old truck

without a license

It doesn't matter that he was a taxi driver

in his homeland

That doesn't matter to Uncle Sam

ICE is loose on those streets

One never knows when it will be our turn

The children cry, they cry at the doorway

They cry when the realize mom is not coming home

One stays here

another stays there

This is what happens for going out to work

Marta arrived as a girl

and dreams of studying

but it is difficult for her without papers

Those born here are the ones who get to achieve

but she never stops fighting

ICE is loose on those streets

One never knows when it will be our turn

The kids cry, they cry at the doorway

They cry when the realize mom is not coming home

One stays here

another stays there

This is what happens for going out to work

One stays here

another stays there

This is what happens for going out to work
