A 10-year-old American child who had recently had a brain tumor removed was deported along with her undocumented parents while they were traveling to an emergency checkup.
While traveling to Houston from the Rio Grande valley to see a specialist in February, the parents and their four children, whose identity has not been revealed to protect the children from potentially being kidnapped in Mexico, were stopped at a checkpoint. Despite explaining the situation, which the officers "weren't interested in hearing," and providing paperwork from doctors and lawyers, the entire family was deported, according to NBC News.
