A mother living in Arizona, who is married to an American citizen, is now facing deportation and might be forced to leave the country without her children. This situation has left her and her family devastated.
The woman, who has lived in the U.S. for nearly two decades, built her life here with her husband and three children.
She has no criminal record and has worked hard to support her family. Despite being married to a U.S. citizen, her legal fight to stay in the country has reached a breaking point.
Her lawyer says the deportation is based on a past immigration violation that dates back many years. The violation happened before she had any children and before she was married. But because of it, the court has now decided she must leave the country.
What makes the situation worse is that her three children are all American citizens. If she is deported, they will stay in the U.S. while she is sent to another country alone. The thought of being separated from her children is deeply upsetting for her.
Her family and friends are trying to raise awareness and support. They say she is a kind, hardworking mother who doesn’t deserve to be torn away from her kids. They believe the immigration system is being too harsh and unfair in this case.
Advocates are asking immigration officials to stop the deportation. They say the U.S. government should show compassion, especially when American citizen children are involved.
The woman still hopes something will change and that she will be allowed to stay with her family. For now, though, her future remains uncertain—and the clock is ticking.
