Plea to Reconsider Deportation

  • πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ Attorneys and family members are pleading with the federal government to reconsider the case of a 4-year-old girl whose life is at risk if deported to Mexico.
  • πŸ₯ The child requires specialized medical treatment not available in her home country, and her future hangs in the balance.

Critical Medical Condition and Treatment

  • πŸ’” The 4-year-old suffers from a medical condition preventing her from absorbing nutrients independently.
  • πŸ’‰ She receives 14 hours of daily intravenous nutrition treatment via a backpack and travels from Bakersfield to Children's Hospital Los Angeles every six weeks.

Humanitarian Parole and Termination

  • πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Born prematurely in Mexico, she came to the U.S. with her parents at age 2 under a temporary humanitarian parole visa issued by the Biden administration.
  • 🚫 This protection granted her access to critical medical care, but in April, the Trump administration issued a notice terminating their parole and ordering the family to self-deport.
  • ⚠️ Doctors have warned that even a short interruption in her treatment could be deadly.

Mother's Testimony and Legal Challenge

  • πŸ˜₯ The mother shared that her daughter did not improve in Mexico, but with U.S. medical help, she has an opportunity to live like a normal 4-year-old.
  • βš–οΈ Attorneys state the family's parole was set to last until July, and they are now challenging the termination decision in court to restore her protections.
  • πŸ—£οΈ Lawyers have written to the Trump administration about the situation and filed new applications for humanitarian parole, but have not yet received a response.
