HIS PARENTS, WHO HAVE BEEN LIVING IN CALIFORNIA WITH LEGAL STATUS, WERE ISSED NOTICES TO Appear in Immigration Court in April and Placed in Removal Process. Since then, Cárcamo Said HIS FAMILY HAS LIVE IN A STATE OF CRISIS.

His Mother and Father, who are not swimming bearing gcause of their pending case, were allowed to remy in their componto in los angeles pending the removal procedures.

“For so many of us, alumni, than’s some of the proudest moments of our life, Having Parters who gave us all these different things, all the sacrifices in so different Ways and for saying to the stages at an institution that was Created with Mind,” Flores Said.
