Mom of 10-year-old US citizen recovering from brain cancer surgery speaks out after being deported by Trump administration

The mother of a young girl who is recovering from brain cancer surgery has spoken out after being deported by President Donald Trump’s administration.

Last month, a family from Texas was deported to Mexico while on their way to a medical check-up for their 10-year-old daughter who recently underwent a brain tumor removal.

The car was stopped by immigration authorities and all people in the vehicle were taken by Customs and Border Protection and bundled them into a van, before dropping them off in Mexico.

The parents were traveling from Rio Grande to doctors in Houston, where their daughter’s specialists are located.

According to an attorney representing the family, they had made the same trip five times prior without issue, but this time, the undocumented parents were detained.

Usually, letters from lawyers and doctors allowed them access, but not this time.

The 10-year-old girl and four other children were in the car at the time of the detention, and all but one of the kids were born in the US.

Instead of splitting the family up, all members decided to go to Mexico together, including the 10-year-old girl who is recovering from brain surgery after she was diagnosed with brain cancer last year, and a 15-year-old with heart problems.

The mother has now spoken out to NBC and listed how the deportation has impacted her family.
