Forever seen as criminals: Immigrants who served their time but still face deportation under Trump
Briefly

Yelenis Perez, a Cuban immigrant, faces deportation after 28 years due to orders from Donald Trump's government, which prioritizes removing individuals with any past criminal records. Despite having served her sentence and rebuilt her life in the U.S., she is classified as a criminal by immigration agents. Many immigrants are now classified as deportable to meet aggressive quotas, even if they show no current threat, creating a harsh reality for those who thought they had moved on from their past mistakes in search of better opportunities.
Yelenis Perez has been reminded of her crime 28 years ago as Donald Trump's government orders her deportation by October, despite her efforts to rebuild her life.
Deportation orders target individuals like Yelenis, who have served their sentences and contributed to society, yet are considered threats under the current government policies.
