Maria Campos, 52, fights back tears while approaching the Stewart Detention Center with her grandkids to visit her son, Sunday, Nov. 10, 2019, in Lumpkin, Ga. Campos' son was deported a year ago from the same ICE facility where another son is now detained. "My first son, my heart is broken because he's not here. I don't want the same for the second one," said Campos. "This place is a horrible place because not all the lawyers want to go there and fight for our family members." Immigrants being held in the rural detention center face a host of challenges in fighting their cases. The town has few available resources, only three immigration lawyers work there full time. In the vacuum, a small network has sprung up to help the immigrants. (AP Photo/David Goldman)
