Defrost Defrost

        The group who presented Defrost did a magnificent job! The name itself was a great pun that I learned. You could tell they were very interested about their topic and they were very informative. Unlike others in my class, I knew the severity of this particular situation which made it an even better project because many people overlook this issue in society. They gave information on immigration statistics and deportation by ICE. Defrost, the name of the app, is about taking away ICE. Each person in the group gave their own testimony about their life situation. I feel like that had an even bigger effect on the app because it shows just how much we need it. The app gives many ways you can become a citizen and more, but there is not really anything describing or informing the major problem with deportation. I do like the section where a person can anonymously send in what i0s going on at that very moment, like a help call. I also like the section on Refugees, Citizenship, and Immigrations. This app will help many  people and change many lives just by a click of a button. This app focuses on Dreamers and regular Noncitizens who are looking to be a citizen. I think they should add a section called “sanctuaries”. Just like CBU is a sanctuary school, I am sure that there are other institutions and companies just like it. This section could have addresses and phone numbers of people who can help them stay away from ICE. This section could be very helpful because it gives people more opportunity to have a job or go to school. I feel this is needed because let us be honest, everyone needs an education and a job in this society to get anywhere. Defrost will give anybody who is under the circumstances relief and a breath of fresh air. It was an app created to help others and keep people safe. And at this point in the world with the new POTUS, some people need this type of relief. It would also be better if there was a website aside from the app. In the app there is a section that leads you to the forms of citizenship, but it would be easier to get these from a website.This app needs to be made ASAP because it is very well needed right now.
