"How one consulate worker risked her freedom to save a triple amputee

More immigrants are ending up in humanitarian crises with no safety net. Overworked social workers are sometimes their only saviors.

Saday Osorio Cordoba’s job as the sole social worker at the Colombian consulate in San Francisco has never been what you’d call easy. Her client base spans not just California but Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado. According to the latest census, 36,000 Colombian nationals live in these states, but Osorio Cordoba guesses it’s closer to 250,000. If something goes wrong for them, it often lands on her plate.

She helps find Colombians who are missing or trafficked, detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, separated from their families, or are critically ill and desperate to leave the U.S. and return home.

President Donald Trump’s reelection has made consulate work more difficult than ever, especially for those representing countries with large contingents of immigrants in the U.S. Now the workers in these agencies are not only handling passport and visa paperwork but are acting as first responders at the front lines of emergency services amid the immigration crisis."

They are heroes, regardless of how the #orangemenace wants to throw #healthcareworkers under the bus.

#felon47 has also axed professional designation for #socialworkers, which hit me like a ton of bricks. I worked my ass off to get my #bsw and it was the most demanding career for relatively little pay that I ever had.
