A 10-year-old American girl and her siblings were deported to Mexico after U.S. officials detained their undocumented parents, interrupting her crucial brain cancer treatment. The family faced severe healthcare disruptions as the girl's medical needs went unmet. Immigration policies, intensified under the Trump administration, have targeted mixed-status families more harshly. The family’s attorney highlighted a troubling pattern of treatment that has led to this tragic situation. This incident underscores broader issues within U.S. immigration practices that negatively affect children who are legally in the country but face the consequences of their parents' status.
"The authorities have my children's lives in their hands," she told in tears.
"What is happening to this family is an absolute tragedy and it is something that is not isolated to just them," Rochelle Garza stated.
