A four-year-old Mexican girl receiving life-saving treatment in Los Angeles could die within days if deported, her lawyers and medical team are warning. The child, identified only as S.G.V. or Sofia, suffers from short bowel syndrome—a rare condition that prevents her from absorbing nutrients through regular food. She survives through Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), a complex intravenous treatment unavailable outside the United States.
"If they deport us and take away my daughter's access to her specialized care, she will die," her mother, Deysi Vargas, said during a press conference.
