Kenia Perez, mother of two US citizen children ages 6 and 9, was arrested by ICE agents at her home in Texas. She was the sole parent since their father died five years ago. Despite telling her attorney she wanted to see her children as soon as possible, she was deported to Honduras only three days after her arrest, leaving her two young sons without a caregiver.
