US Edition'Left All Alone': Immigrant Families in Minneapolis Arrange Guardians as Enforcement Fears Mount
- Months ago, Minneapolis parents began signing Delegation of Parental Authority forms as Daniel Hernandez and local notaries help families avoid social services, amid ICE raids.

- Daniel Hernandez has been using a local notary to pre-stamp DOPA forms and make house calls so parents can sign without leaving home, and he said `Once all the raids began happening, people realized this is real`.

- Parents in Minneapolis are limiting movement and monitoring ICE, with Hernandez saying he had `signed up over 1,000 children` since November, as local organizations run DOPA campaigns.
