An emotional reunion unfolded outside the San Ysidro pedestrian crossing on March 30 as Maria de Jesus Estrada Juarez, who has DACA status, was reunited with her daughter, Damaris Bello, seconds after Estrada Juarez returned to the U.S. on humanitarian parole. Forty days earlier, Bello had watched immigration agents arrest her mother at a routine green card appointment in downtown Sacramento. Estrada Juarez was deported to Mexico by the next morning. What followed was a weekslong, nationwide effort to bring back the 42-year-old mother, whose removal sparked outcry from federal, state and local officials, including in testimony at a U.S. Senate congressional hearing. Last week, following a federal lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, a judge ordered the U.S. government to return Estrada Juarez in seven days. On Monday, the deadline, Immigration and Customs Enforcement finally granted her permission to reenter. The move makes Estrada Juarez one of the few people to be allowed back into the country after a deportation during President Donald Trump’s second term, according to immigration experts.
