Deported from Florida to Cuba, this mom saw her 17-month-old US daughter – and her American dream – ripped away (1 Viewer)

[CaughtInThe]

"She flips though images on her iPhone of visits to Sea World with her husband and 17-month-old daughter and the couple dressing up in Santa attire for Christmas.

...

There she studied to become a nursing assistant, met her husband, a naturalized US citizen also from Cuba, and after several in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments, finally realized her dream of becoming a mom."

...

Sánchez’s attorney said they tried to stop her deportation by arguing that her removal would hurt her daughter, who she was breast feeding and has suffered seizures. But two days later, as Sánchez’s attorneys were requesting a hearing in the case, she was already in the air on a deportation flight to Havana.

“The Trump administration is ripping families apart for political games,” US Rep. Kathy Castor (D-FL) posted on X"

...

“I have to pump milk which should feed my daughter and throw it in the trash,” Sánchez said. “That hurts me so much to do.”

You complained when an illegal chose to take her daughter with her when she was deported. Now you’re complaining that one didn’t. Professional malcontents can never be pleased.

Sad story CITM,

But she was here illegally, and in this case it appears proper procedures were followed.

He husband is a US Citizen as is her daughter. Meaning they can travel to Cuba for visits and the daughter his free to stay with her and return for extended periods.

I wonder if she can get an H-1B visa to work at Mar A Lago when Trump does his annual importation of foreign workings instead of hiring Americans.

Happy MAGA.

At least you're a fan of your own thread.

Yep-- but it was Democrats who argued to treat Cubans as no different than migrants from Haiti or elsewhere.

Nobody is above the law

Didn't it used to be US policy to accept all Cuban refugees?

A Cuban refugee.
Is there anyone in the world who the magatry think deserve refugee status? Any country that escapees from could find asylum in Trumpistan?

Yes.

The interests of the US citizen child should be paramount.

The US citizen should stay in America and her mom should stay with her.

What thr hell is wrong with you people?

 

[Grand Mal]

Yes-- that was changed years ago.
Clinton admin changed it.

The Cuban Adjustment Act was repealed? By which, Clinton or Obama?

Asylum has legal criteria and abuse of the asylum process is why the immigration courts are drowning.

Has the CAA (Cuban Adjustment Act) been repealed?

He loves lifting content. It's easier than having an original thought of his own.

It was a Democrat, Lyndon Johnson, who signed the Cuban Adjustment Act into law. It's a Republican who is defying it.

The CAA requires the person to have entered the country legally. She didn’t.

No it does not. They can wash up on a Florida beach on a raft.

From the op report...
"But Claudia said threats from cartels, which often target Cubans for kidnappings and extortion, prevented her from making her appointment. When she finally did cross the border again she told immigration agents her life was at risk in Mexico and she was allowed to stay. After nine months in immigration custody, she was released and able to join her family in Tampa."
