Deportation Threatens Child's Life: Migrant Mother's Desperate Plea

Migrant Mother's Plea: Deportation Threatens Daughter's Life A Honduran mother, Deysi Vargas, and her young daughter, Sofía, are facing imminent deportation from the United States, jeopardizing the child's life. Sofía suffers from a rare and severe intestinal condition requiring specialized medical care available only in the US. "The doctors tell me that patients like my daughter cannot leave the country because there aren't the same medical resources in other countries as in the United States. If my daughter is denied access to her specialized system, she will die," Vargas said in a recent interview with independent media outlet Notibomba. The family has received official notices canceling their humanitarian permits and work permits, leaving them in a desperate situation. The case underscores the complex challenges faced by migrant families seeking medical care in the US and highlights the potential life-or-death consequences of deportation policies. Advocates are calling for intervention to allow Sofía to continue her treatment.
