I need you to step out the vehicle.

Wait.

What are you doing?

This is my home.

I'm legal.

I pay taxes.

I'm a nurse.

She's been here since she was seven.

It was, what, 20 years ago?

The law doesn't ask for backstory.

Look at me.

Do you believe this is good?

Right?

We sent a letter years ago.

I never got it.

That's one letter.

I've kept up with my paperwork to the teeth.

I never got to.

This is the only home I know.

Please,

just give me a chance.

Let me fix it.

Let me update the paperwork.

Look, I get it.

But we're not here to rewrite policy.

We're here to enforce it.

And that's our duty.

Our oath.
