Amanda Morales Guerra has rarely seen the light of day since she walked into Holyrood Church Santa Cruz nearly a year ago. Fleeing violence in her native Guatemala and, after years in the U.S., a deportation order from the Trump administration, priest and activist Luis Barrios had offered her sanctuary in his uptown Manhattan church. When I visit Amanda, she is filled with memories of the inflatable kiddie pool in her Long Island backyard, her own piece of the American dream.
