A Dusty Lady

This is the story of two 75 year old retired persons - a detective and high school teacher - interested in civic matters. They are especially interested in the plight of immigrant families that were ripped apart by the zero-tolerance border policies of the Trump administration. They became so involved with this cause, they created a corporation they called Salva La Familia (meaning, Save The Family). Abbey Tutt, the police officer, recruited several of his well heeled friends in financing this corporation with an initial investment of $1,000,000. They also teamed up with another friend, the CEO of Algonquin Free Native American University, who was interested in creating a correspondence course that appealed to any undocumented immigrant in the US, entitled Pathway to Citizenship. This course was a major success and helped to recruit hundreds of undocumented persons, helping them on their way to citizenship. Unfortunately the Homeland Security Department of the US Government called upon Immigration Custom Enforcement (ICE) to carry out heavy-handed enforcement of deportation. ICE attempted to use Salva La Familia to help locate unsuspecting undocumented immigrants throughout the US. Surprisingly, Abbey finds that the opposition to immigration by the Administration is only a smoke screen to cover up the President's plot to engineer a coup d'etat, similar to what Adolph Hitler pulled off in Germany in 1930.
