!["This year, what really took me aback was [questions during the panel about] ICE,” said Amaya. “'How is possibly being deported, even as a US citizen, affecting you?' Even our vice president, Diana Rodriguez, had recently traveled back from Japan with me, because we went on a fun trip, and at the airport she got stopped on her way in [to the US] because of her last name. Even the customs agent was like 'It's because you have a Latino last name.'"
"We brought it up at the panel, and other people started bringing in their experiences,” she added. “It's just so crazy to go from 'We're Latinos, and we love that. We're another diversity group that has its own feelings and thoughts' to 'Are we going to be fucking deported without legal and due process?'"
Not everyone made it to the panel—or GDC—unscathed.
"For the people that were attending from Latin America, a couple of them did have problems at the border,” said Amaya. “We had a couple of Panamanian devs who said that they got held for three or four hours, which is crazy because they're indie devs. What are they bringing? They were a little scarred by it, but they were trying very hard to be hopeful, because GDC is supposed to be this big place of opportunity, right?"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreigsun2mzdimypdsmrzstxbc7og57kdyq3m6fqldu5k7bcwmn5r77m)
