An incident on the Mexican American border  (2022)

I told the story to my Professor S about how I was stopped by officials when I tried to fly back from Mexico City to New York. How all my documents (my Chinese passport, my visa, my prove of attending college) turned blank and disappeared. 

I was eventually let go and allowed to enter the United States after the police seperate a portrait of a young Mexican woman from my passport and other documents. I bought that film slide from a store in Condesa, Mexico City. I was hoping to take the portrait with me, but they refused.

The following is the scannings the police made of my documents.
