This is addressed to those of you who can sympathize or empathize with what I am currently going through right now.
Especially to those of you who are fellow followers or friends of mine. Be it, online or in person.
Whether you know me or not, this is for you.
Please read!
I created this document in fear that if or when something happens to me in relation to “the raids,” I have at least this one opportunity to bid a sincere goodbye. Whether temporary or permanent.
That, and to spread awareness about what is happening and providing info on what you can do to help.
If you are reading this as someone who is familiar with who I am, you may know me by the name Angela. You may also know me by my nickname “Angie,” or my online name “Krystal.”
You’ve probably known me for years, or for a short amount of time on online platforms such as google plus, insta, tiktok, snapchat, twitter, discord, facebook.. the list goes on. I’ve used the internet since I was 8-12 up until this point at just 21.
The internet has always been a safe haven for me because growing up I got picked on a lot for things that were out of my control. And as a result, I became lonely. And so I sought comfort from people who were in the same boat as me. Along the way I’ve made plenty of friends and acquaintances. I made some unwanted enemies, too. But as long as I did not let their words get into my head, I was fine.
Now, if you have a close knit relationship or friendship with me, or have interacted with me in any way, please pay attention to what I am about to say next..
My family and I are in grave danger. You may not hear from me for a while, maybe even longer. Only the Lord knows what will happen to me. But I doubt “they” will play nice. But, I ask that y'all please pray that I am left untouched and out of harm's way.
But, if you are reading this as someone who does not know me at all, then just consider me a kind stranger in need of spreading a message before shit hits the fan. Because this situation is dire.
There is no bigger enemy than the US gov’t. So, if you’re not a straight white conservative christian man with a lot of money.. then there is a target on your back. If you are not putting money in these greedy bitches pockets, you’re as good as dead. The rich do not care, because to them money is what makes the world go round. They are the last people you need to seek help from. At the end of the day, all we have is each other. But, you can’t pay the bills with kindness.
There are tons of raids being conducted everywhere. In my area, they have already hit San Antonio, Dallas, and El Paso. Cities that are known to have huge populations of Hispanic people.
Areas that are known to be safe havens for immigrants are also being raided. Such as churches, hospitals, and schools.
*At approximately 1pm CST on Jan 27th, 2025, there were ice agents spotted in my city and I’m unsure if my time is running out. My head is spinning. My head hurts from crying. I’m shaking. It’s terrible.
*As of June 12th, 2025, ice agents were spotted in my city the previous night, June 11th, 2025. The message was relayed to me at 1pm CST.

If you pay enough attention to media coverage on this event, although most of it is censored.. the truth is that this is being done because white conservatives do not see us latinos and latinas as human. For fucks sake, they refer to us as “aliens.”
They scream about how we “steal jobs” they don't even wanna do, that we are intruding on “THEIR land” despite the fact that it is STOLEN, that we do not belong, and that we should “go back home” knowing that the reason our grandparents even came here is to provide a better life for our families.
On top of that, it does not compare to the heart shattering betrayal that some fellow hispanics have committed. They also voted. But what for? To take their own abuelas, abuelos, tios, tias, primos, primas, and their parents away. And many more. They voted to tear apart their own families. But in the case of the white man, they voted to take their latino friends away.
So, if YOU are hispanic.. you would understand that to a majority of us.. family is EVERYTHING. Myself included. So for some of our own people to betray us like this is worse than any heartbreak I've ever felt in my whole life.
“United we stand, Divided we fall.”
We need community now more than ever. No matter the color of your skin, please do something. Anything. Organize marches, spread awareness for your fellow latinos, literally anything.
YOUR VOICE MATTERS!! YOUR IMPACT MATTERS!!
If you are a US citizen and non-hispanic..
*This also applies if you are a fellow employee of a hispanic at your place of work. As far as you’re concerned, you don't know SHIT.
Well, a few things.
One, I may teach myself Krav Maga.
Two, I may use a baseball bat for self defense. Worst comes to worst, that’s what I got.
If I need to prove myself I will get a passport card. But, I can also show my birth certificate and SSN card for now.
Update: I've contacted my dad and he is coming to town this weekend to give me my passport book. Whether I should invest in a passport card, I’m not sure. But I’ll ask for his input.
My name is Angela. And I am 21 years old. Born July 3rd, in Lubbock, TX.
I pray I come out of this in one piece but in the event that I do not, if I am to be remembered for anything..
I want everyone to know I held no animosity towards anyone. Even if I made mistakes, or upset anyone, said or did things out of anger.. it was not done intentionally or with malice. Nor hatred. After all, I am human.
I want everyone to know that I hold so much love for my family, online friends, and real life friends. I love them more than I love myself and I’d die for them in a heartbeat. They would have told you all that I was shy, sweet, had a huge passion to draw, and had lots of love in my heart.
I have a deep love for animals. Especially cats. As they have provided me comfort when I needed it.
I want everyone to know that I had a life like everyone else and that because of people’s selfishness, I will likely be racially profiled, caught, and sent to a place I have never known. Or sent to a camp. You may all know that I belong, but others may not.
I was reminded each and every day that I was deeply loved and that I was adored. Although, there were times I may have not seen it. My whole life I have doubted the sincerity of those around me because they mistook my kindness for weakness but rest assured, I am more than that. I deserved better.
But, without you all, I would not be here. I would have given up sooner. But I didn’t. My friends (online and in person) and family are everything to me. And I wouldn't trade it for the world.
I talk like I’m gonna die but.. like my dad has always told me..
Tomorrow is not promised.
If you allowed this to happen, hell is not hot enough for you. Those of my friends who are on the right side of history will make sure you have not one moment of peace. They will raise hell and they will make sure you are reminded everyday of the irreparable damage you caused to my people. You may forget, but they will not.
But, unfortunately, some of “my people” betrayed their own and voted for this, too. In which case they will reap what they sow and see first-hand their world crumble before them. And after the damage is done, their families will see them for who they really are. They put a country before their own flesh and blood.
So, go on.. tap dance for the white man all you want, he will not view you as an equal. Most of all, he will not view you as human. He never did. THEY never did. After all, it’s not just him, but a whole administration. If a white man can still be racist to a black man or woman, then he can be racist to us latinos and latinas, too.
It will NEVER, EVER matter how much you scream, cry, and beg that you are “one of them.” What separates you from them is that you are BROWN. And if you’re lucky, you may be latino and white passing, but they'll STILL find a way to tell you to “go back to your country.”
Many things have radicalized me…. and this is one of them. WAKE THE FUCK UP.
May you never know peace. That goes for white people, and the latinos who threw their families under the bus without thinking about how this would fall back on them and blow up in their face.
