lyrics

**Exhibit 64

I am 17 years old. I am from Honduras.
I left Honduras because I was being constantly harassed by gangs for 'rent'.
If I did not pay, they threatened to kill me and my family.
I was afraid for my life.
My father abandoned the family when I was young,
and my mother could not protect me from the gangs.

I was apprehended by myself.
I presented myself at the border near the end of may.
I was immediately taken into custody.

After a short time, I was brought to the Clint CBP facility.

I have been at the Clint CBP facility for about three weeks.

I have not been told of any release date or any release plan.
I do not know when I will be released.
I informed officials that I have a cousin in Tennessee who is willing to take me in.
I provided her contact information for officials.
I also have other cousins and aunts in the united states.

The facility is locked. I am unable to leave.
I have been warned not to attempt to leave without permission.

After arriving at Clint CBP, I contracted Influenca.
I had fevers, chills, trouble swallowing, sore throat.
I was tired. I was kept in a room with 6 to 9 other persons who had the flu.
Everyone was very sick. I was given medicine to take.
I was released from the room after about three days.
I have been asked to wear a face mask.
Others have also been asked to wear the masks.

I have been able to call my cousin in Tennessee a few times.
She also does not know what is going on, but is willing to take me in.
