Loved ones are heartbroken after a Southern California mother was detained and deported after a routine immigration hearing.
Maria Valeriano Perez, 52, is a mother of three children who has lived in the U.S. for 35 years. She had been working as a custodian in Ventura County for years.
Her family said she attended an immigration appointment on June 4 and, instead of receiving an update on her case, she was immediately handcuffed and taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
...
Although Erika said her mother has accepted her fate that she may never gain U.S. citizenship, it doesn’t change the effect her absence will have on her friends, loved ones and community members.
...
Under a new policy from the Trump Administration, Maria would not be able to apply for re-admission into the U.S. for another 10 years.

The law has finally caught up with her. Finally.
More ICE please!
She can blame Biden.
Yes, letting 20,000,000 unvetted people in has unintended consequences for everyone.
Maria would not be able to apply for re-admission into the U.S. for another 10 years.
Is this actually a NEW policy under the Trump admin. or, has this ALWAYS been the law?
I’m so sick & tired of these bleeding hearts claiming our immigration system is broken when it’s just fine - for those who follow the existing law.
California Mother
“Southern California mother”.
I wonder if she knows the “Maryland man”?
There has been a 10 year rule for many years I believe.
Foreigners, no matter how wonderful, can not be allowed to snatch ever increasing numbers of American jobs and still affordable houses.
“She can blame Biden.”
She can blame herself before blaming Xiden.
She had 35 years to start the process and didn’t
Strangely, I don’t feel affected at all. She should have taken $1000 and a free plane ticket.
To hell with her and the jackass who wrote this sob story. She’s a parasite and has been for 35 years. 20million is a low estimate. Illegals have been pouring over the border for decades, it got worse with the feckless Biden, but it’s been bad since the 50’s
I’m she wanted to stay, she had 35 years to make it happen legally.
KTLA is the same channel as “just burning cars and having fun” reporter.
Unsaid are thr crimes committed by this woman.
And I guarantee you she’s been on welfare for 35 years as she pops out babies.
“Although Erika said her mother has accepted her fate that she may never gain U.S. citizenship”
She’s had 35 years to TCB. No sympathy. Lazy ass woman.
“she may never gain U.S. citizenship”
…she didn’t even try.
More ICE please!
“She had 35 years to start the process and didn’t” - dittoes.
I put ‘Dreamers’ in a similar category - they have had plenty of time to become naturalized citizens.
Maybe she could “put some ice on it”.
You KNOW she has gotten Medicaid, Section 8 and SNAP benefits at the very least for THIRTY FIVE YEARS.
Those government employees just LOVE to give away the taxpayers money. It is almost bizarre because they are ADAMANT that illegals get these undeserved and unearned benefits and money.
A former student I went to school with married an Indian man from England. He eventually brought his family over and I remember her saying they needed to sign forms promising not to get govt benefits, that they could support themselves. First thing they did was to sign up for Medicaid and one of the daughters got braces.
