Parents detained for months for trying to get to their son. The family is reunited just a day before their 18yo breathes his last

Isidoro González Avilés and Norma Anabel Ramírez Amaya reunited with their 18-year-old son, Kevin González, in Durango, Mexico, just one day before he passed away from cancer. The teenager, who was a United States citizen, died on Sunday afternoon after spending his final moments with his parents.

According to CNN. Kevin, who was born in the United States but raised in Mexico, became ill during a visit to family in Chicago around Christmas. Medical professionals diagnosed him with stage 4 colon cancer. In an attempt to see his parents before he died, Kevin flew to Mexico roughly a week ago. His parents, who are Mexican nationals, had previously been deported from the United States after entering the country illegally.
