"An American girl receiving brain cancer treatment was reportedly detained by federal immigration agents and deported to Mexico – along with her parents and most of her siblings – while attempting to travel to Houston.
The girl and her parents, who are from Mexico and had been living in Texas without legal status for more than a decade, were detained in early February at an immigration checkpoint in South Texas, according to the Texas Civil Rights Project. The nonprofit wrote in a Wednesday news release that the parents were given the option to leave their children in government custody in the U.S. or be deported together as a family."
