In Trumps capital, undocumented immigrants live and work in the shadow of the White House
Claudette Monroy slipped into a window seat on a crowded bus.
Her long curls fell forward as she looked down at her lap, checking her homework before she arrived at George Washington University, where she is a graduate student.
When she first started at the school just blocks from the White House, she struggled with how best to describe herself to classmates.
“I’m an international student,” she tried. But it didn’t fit, so she started introducing herself as “an immigrant student.” That, too, wasn’t right. She finally settled on, “Hi. I’m Claudette. I’m an undocumented student from Mexico.”
