Quebec Vasquez, a 33-year-old mother of three, is preparing to return to Mexico despite holding legal status in the United States. Having arrived in the US at the age of seven, she barely remembers her homeland and is unsure of what awaits her. Vasquez's decision to 'self-deport' follows a series of ICE raids sparked by President Donald Trump's directive to carry out what he called the 'largest deportation operation in American history'.

'I don't have the slightest clue about how things work over there,' Vasquez admitted in an interview with Telemundo. 'I have no idea if there are resources and programmes for children like there are here, how the school systems work, where the safe areas to live are... I have no clue.'
