Venezuelan Family Seeks Release After Self-Deportation | Birmingham News
Description
A Venezuelan family of three, including a seven-year-old girl, were shocked to be arrested and detained after voluntarily attempting to return home — despite following all instructions and even waiving their rights. They had lived legally in Texas for years, and after discovering the mother’s pregnancy, they followed Trump-era guidance to self-deport. Now held at Dilley Detention Center for over a month, they’re pleading with Senator Katie Britt for help, citing their daughter’s anguish and the mother’s deteriorating health. ICE says their removal order is now being withdrawn, clearing the way for their return — but not before drawing attention to how broken systems can trap families in limbo.
