A family that was deported to Mexico is requesting an investigation into the abuses they faced in U.S. detention, as detailed in a civil rights complaint filed by the Texas Civil Rights Project. The family includes four U.S. citizen children, one of whom is a 10-year-old girl recovering from brain surgery. The complaint alleges that Customs and Border Protection denied the girl medical care, subjected U.S. citizen children to deplorable conditions, and placed them in danger in Mexico. The family was deported together, despite their mixed-immigration status, and is currently in an area of Mexico known for kidnapping U.S. citizens, where they fear for their safety and struggle to access necessary medical care. The 10-year-old girl’s health continues to deteriorate as she is unable to receive the follow-up care she needs. In addition to the physical and emotional hardships faced by the family, their 17-year-old son, who is a U.S. citizen, was left behind in Texas. The parents, who had been working multiple jobs to support their family, arrived in the U.S. from Mexico in 2013 and were in the process of obtaining legal status. The family’s case highlights the Trump administration’s focus on cracking down on immigrants, even those who are contributing positively to society. The family is seeking humanitarian parole and a resolution that will allow them to reunite and care for their children.
