Mullins Glenn has inadvertently become the face of an unprecedented political movement among Mormon women. I said, ‘You are bigger than this kid, and you are being a bully.’” “I spanked his bottom! I did!” she told me. By way of introduction, let’s just say that once, while walking through a Renaissance fair, she saw a teenager beating up a smaller kid, and she marched over and spanked him. Mullins Glenn, who is 56 years old, is a children’s book author, a mother of five, a grandmother of three, and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Although Mullins Glenn has neither a law degree nor political office, and at the time had no experience with ICE, she is the woman you call at moments like these. The calls and messages extended across Salt Lake until they stopped at the desk of Sharlee Mullins Glenn. The friend called another friend from church. Avelar-Flores and her husband have three children, the youngest still a toddler, and her family was despondent.
They loaded her into a car and drove her two hours to a holding facility to await deportation. One day early this spring, Silvia Avelar-Flores was shopping for birthday party supplies with her 8-year-old daughter in Salt Lake City when agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested her.
