Tell ICE to Release Ana Navarro!
TW: mention of child abuse, domestic violence
Ana Navarro’s family migrated to the United States when Ana was just 2 years old. She didn’t know she was undocumented until she tried to sign up for an After School matters course in middle school.
Growing up on the Southeast side of Chicago, Ana suffered abuse from her stepfather starting at a young age, ultimately resulting in her removal from her mother’s custody for several years and the arrest of both her mother and step father. As a teenager, Ana became a caregiver for her three younger sisters, carrying the weight and responsibility to support and protect them like a parent.
When Ana was 19, she was forced to live with an older man who was physically and emotionally abusive and controlled her every movement. That abuse escalated, resulting in harm to her then two year old daughter. After reporting the abuse to the police, Ana was then criminalized and incarcerated, serving 15 years at Logan Correctional Center until November of 2022. During her time at Logan, Ana contributed to her community in every way she could and worked hard to process and heal from her trauma through counseling and courses through the Women of Hope program.
Ana is immensely talented as an artist and cook; at Logan, she took it upon herself to paint the visitor’s room to make it a friendlier, more inviting space for children visiting their parents, and she also graduated cum laude from a horticulture course, with dreams of building a bee sanctuary and urban farm upon her release.
Post-incarceration, Ana has continued to work with her community and advocate for system-impacted women. Prior to her detention, she was a coach to system-impacted women through the W.I.N.D program and was selected as a 2023 Policy Fellow with the Women’s Justice Institute.
Now Ana is in danger of being deported by ICE and ripped away from her community and siblings. Please join us in demanding that ICE free Ana!

MT: mención de maltrato infantil, violencia doméstica
La familia de Ana Navarro emigró a los Estados Unidos cuando Ana tenía solo 2 años. Ella no sabía que era indocumentada hasta que trató de inscribirse en un curso de asuntos extracurriculares en la escuela secundaria.
Al crecer en el lado sureste de Chicago, Ana sufrió abusos por parte de su padrastro desde muy joven, lo que finalmente resultó en que la sacaran de la custodia de su madre durante varios años y el arresto de su madre y su padrastro. Cuando era adolescente, Ana se convirtió en la cuidadora de sus tres hermanas menores, cargando con el peso y la responsabilidad de apoyarlas y protegerlas como una madre.
Cuando Ana tenía 19 años, se vio obligada a vivir con un hombre mayor que la maltrataba física y emocionalmente y controlaba todos sus movimientos. Ese abuso se intensificó y resultó en daño para su hija de dos años. Después de denunciar el abuso a la policía, Ana fue criminalizada y encarcelada, cumpliendo 15 años en el Centro Correccional de Logan hasta noviembre de 2022. Durante su tiempo en Logan, Ana contribuyó a su comunidad de todas las formas que pudo y trabajó arduamente para procesar y sanar. de su trauma a través de consejería y cursos a través del programa Mujeres de Esperanza.
Ana tiene un inmenso talento como artista y cocinera; en Logan, se encargó de pintar la sala de visitas para convertirla en un espacio más amigable y atractivo para los niños que visitan a sus padres, y también se graduó cum laude de un curso de horticultura, con el sueño de construir un santuario de abejas y una granja urbana sobre su liberación.
Después del encarcelamiento, Ana ha seguido trabajando con su comunidad y abogando por las mujeres afectadas por el sistema. Antes de su detención, estaba entrenando a mujeres encarceladas en la cárcel del condado de Cook a través del programa W.I.N.D y fue seleccionada como becaria de política 2023 con el Women's Justice Institute.
Ahora Ana está en peligro de ser deportada por ICE y arrancada de su comunidad y hermanos. ¡Únase a nosotros para exigir que ICE libere a Ana!
