A mother was detained by ICE on September 22, 2026, and after her family attempted to fight the case, they were told she will be deported to Guatemala. Her 22-year-old son, a college student, is now caring for his two younger brothers, ages 17 and 12, while their father is not present. The family's youngest child, six months old, will travel to Guatemala with the mother, and the older son plans to accompany the baby to reunite him with their mother. The family is raising money for legal fees, travel costs, housing expenses, and resettlement costs abroad.
