A family from Manassas, Virginia, decided to voluntarily leave the country after Claudia Alvarenga España was deported to Guatemala and brought back to attend an immigration hearing.
Alvarenga España's husband said in an interview with News4 sister station Telemundo44 that they no longer want any more suffering.
"Well, we've made the decision that basically we all have to return to our country," Jhoan Mesen said in Spanish.
Alvarenga España's case gained notoriety this week when the Guatemalan woman appeared in court on Tuesday seeking to remain in the United States.
Both her husband and Alvarenga España's employer said that immigration authorities initially took her to Guatemala. She was then returned to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in the U.S.
The woman has currently been detained in a center for two weeks, according to Mesen. Alvarenga España's family indicated that a US judge ruled that the woman could not be deported unless there was a court order.
The woman's husband added that they made the decision after living in the U.S. for 15 years and that they will return to Guatemala with their four children.
"I've already cleared out most of my belongings to prepare to sell the house and start over," Mesen said.
Alvarenga España was detained by federal authorities in Chantilly, Virginia, after, according to her family, she attended an immigration appointment. Her husband stated that Alvarenga España believed the hearing was a breakthrough in her case.
According to documents shared by her loved ones with a newspaper, the woman submitted her asylum application in March.

The link goes nowhere.
It’s not a family from VA. They are from Guatemala.
And thence they shall return.
Sorry about your suffering. The leftists lied to you. They do that to everyone.
Well, bye.
If I had ever violated any of those laws I would have expected to be immediately expelled at the *very* least. If not criminally prosecuted.
Been in the US illegally for 15 years. How did she even get here?
Amerians are tired of the suffering supporting these ILLEGALS.
Get the F OUT!
Talking in Spanish, selling a house. So no attempt to learn English and leaving with a tidy profit I’m sure. Get the F Out!
Right! They are going HOME!
Manasses IS Guatemala! ! They have a long way to go!
You ask how did she even get here?
Many illegals are visa overstays. They fly in for a visit as a tourist and never go home.
So…. That’s my guess.
Good idea. Unfortunately, I most illegal alien criminal invaders will not be so willing to do the right thing.
And that was a hard decision?
Guatemala has some dangerous areas just like all the blue cities in the USA. Most of the country is beautiful with a good climate. If it, like most other central American countries, did not have corrupt governments they would be great countries too.
She lives in the USA with her family and still Guatemala is “our country” to her. Still speaks Spanish.
Great assimilation, just like we see in Los Angeles.
The failure to become Americans is a huge problem. Legal immigrants 100 years ago were eager to become Americans, not remain attached to the mother country.
My dad arrived at Ellis Island 98 years ago at age three with his mom, dad, a brother and a sister. I never heard any of them or the extended family refer to Germany as “our country.”
Most likely Manassas Park, not Manassas. Dangerous, crime-ridden and full of illegals.
But, first, pay us back for everything you took in welfare benefits.
