A woman who handed over video of the mass shooting on board an N train last week is seeking immigration protection.

The witness asked NY1 to hide her face and identify her only by her last name, Flores, because of her immigration status. She is from Mexico and says she is undocumented.

“It was horrible, the sound was BOOM BOOM BOOM,” she told NY1 in Spanish. “When I heard a man that laughed and said you are all gonna die. I tried holding my breath because I am pregnant.”

Despite Flores' concerns over her status, she handed over videos she took on her phone to investigators.

“Her collaboration with the NYPD or with any federal prosecutor federal investigators should be something that is promoted and safe for her to do regardless of her immigration status,” said Luis Gomez Alfaro, her immigration attorney and a contributor to NY1 Noticias.

He is representing Flores at no charge and trying to get her protection in a visa program for crime victims with the support of city law enforcement and federal agencies.

Gomez Alfaro is also representing Francisco Puebla, a Mexican immigrant who flagged a police officer after spotting shooting suspect Frank James in the East Village, where he was shortly arrested.

“Their lives have been transformed and they are both now in the public eye and given their lack of immigration status, we want to protect both of them,” Gomez Alfaro said.

Flores was on the N train the day of the shooting after dropping her daughter off at the stop near her school when she first saw the smoke inside the train car.

“I was scared and at that moment. I thought that I was gonna die there,” she said.

According to Gomez Alfaro, Flores not only documented the chaotic aftermath of the mass shooting but assisted fellow riders who tried to escape the train.

“It takes particular courage for an undocumented immigrant to do so and I think this is the reason why we would ask the immigration agencies we would ask the U.S. government to recognize that and be generous in how they choose to apply immigration laws to their applications,” said Camille Mackler, director of Immigrant Advocates Response Collaborative, a legal aid organization.

Flores hopes that with protection from deportation, she’ll be able to have a normal life here and be able to travel to Mexico to see her mother.

“To hug my mother. Since I was 16 I haven’t hugged her,” she said.
