DACA Mom Deported Despite Legal Status | San Antonio News
Description
A Texas mother with DACA status—valid until April 2027—is suing the federal government after being deported to Mexico despite legal permission to stay in the U.S. since age eight. Arrested with her husband in December, they’re now living in Mexico near the Texas border, while their U.S. citizen children remain in the U.S. with relatives. Her attorney argues the deportation was unlawful and seeks reinstatement of her DACA status and return to the U.S., emphasizing that voluntary departure orders don’t override valid DACA protections. The case has sparked concern among advocates, who see it as part of a broader effort to dismantle DACA, risking family separation and children’s stability. The government has not yet commented.
