Non -documentary parents of a 10 -year -old American citizen, whose family was transferred to Mexico, says they are looking for a way to return to the United States with the girl so that they can continue to treat mental cancer.
His parents and his four siblings were detained at a border patrol checkpoint in Texas, and then his parents and his four siblings were shifted to Mexico instead of separating their children with their parents.
According to Danny Woodward, a lawyer with the TCRP, parents have no “criminal record”. The TCRP said that one of the couple’s children is a US citizen.
At the time they were detained, parents – who were asked to identify only through the pseudonym of “Juan” and “Maria” due to safety concerns – they were taking their daughter to Houston’s Medical Center for ongoing care after diagnosing a brain tumor last year.
Taking care of his daughter means five hours away from where he lived in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, which is located along the border with Mexico. This also meant cleaning the border patrol checkpoint inside the state to reach the hospital.
Such longer federal checkpoints are designed to detect prohibited and non -documentary immigrants to the interior of the country.
In a video statement given to CNN by the TCRP, the mother said Houston’s journey-350 miles were “normal” until February 3.
The mother said in the statement, “This time we were detained and faced the toughest decision to fight them, which was permanently separated from our children, or was deported together,” the mother said in a statement when she struggled with tears.
According to Woodord, the little girl started headaches and dizziness on the morning of February 3, her parents were indicated to follow the doctor’s orders and return to the hospital immediately.
With a physician’s letter that describes the serious condition of the girl, the family’s vehicle approached a border patrol agents at a checkpoint in Srita, Texas, which is about 90 miles away from the journey.
“The family, using this letter, had passed through the checkpoint in Sarita after medical appointments using this letter, and that’s why they were not worried,” Woodward told CNN.
But instead of normal clearance, Maria, Joan and five children were questioned for hours, then the south were shifted to the federal processing facility, where they spent the night. The next day, the next day, they were taken to a nearby entry port, and immigration officials took him across the US Mexico border, Woodward said.
According to the TCRP, the couple’s oldest child, who is also an American citizen, was not traveling with the family and lived in the United States.
The immigration attorney presents the couple’s status in Texas as a “clean, healthy life of life trying to raise their children.” “He worked like packing fruits and vegetables in production packing plants in the agricultural sector,” and “there was nothing to talk about or talk about.”
Maria added that she and her husband have concerns for their and another American citizen children because she is in a heart condition.
In response to a comment by CNN regarding the account of the events presented by the TCRP, a spokesman for the US Customs and Border Protection said, “As reported, they are wrong. When orders are given to remove someone and choose to ignore them, they will be able to refrain from removing the results.
The agency spokesman added that the CBP could not comment on the details of the case, citing the reasons for privacy.
In response to the CBP statement, the TCRP told CNN: “We believe that years had been ordered to be removed years ago, but no rapid removal of their current exile papers was documentary, and despite any order, the family has always been able to access their (US citizen).”
Immigrant supporters have long raised concerns for the so-called mixed status of migrant families-with parents who are American citizens, but they themselves lack legal status in the country. Such matters mean that immigrant parents may face some harassing choice by Maria and Juan: are they separate from their children? Or leave the country together?
The Trump administration has repeatedly said that they will deport all non -documentary immigrants. According to the non -profit council based in the US Immigration Council DC, it includes non -documentary parents of about 4.4 million children, who are US citizens.
Before formally filling the role of the White House Border Czar, Tom Hoon told CBS News in October that “the family can be deported simultaneously,” when asked if there was any way to stop family separation.
Lawyers, Maria and Juan, argue over exiles that do nothing to make the United States more secure.
Eliminating a healthy child and his family is not making “our country or any child ‘safe’-it is producing traumatic and life-threatening results on the entire communities.
Maria and Juan are now preparing to apply for the US government to enter the United States legally with their daughter.
“They hope that the government will give them a parent, or each one, to come back to humanity for some form of parole so that the daughter needs the kind of medical treatment.”
In her video statement, Maria emphasized her request: “Help us to come back so that our little girl can continue to seek her medical care. She is not eligible for the problem. Cancer has caused her a lot of trouble.
