On June 30, they had gone to Los Angeles for their routine immigration check-in, but they were detained.
The woman, known as Estela Ramos Baten and her daughter, Nory Sontay Ramos, were later deported.
After their deportation to Guatemala, Estela became ill, and she even refused to be taken to the hospital for fear of violence.
Her daughter, Nory, said:
“She barely slept. She just kept thinking about our situation and the possibility of the gang finding us. She was very worried.”
She told her daughters that she felt she was going to die.
Her words, per MSNBC:
“I feel like I’m going to die.”
Nory alleged that her mother's medication was taken from her and they were not returned. Her mother suffered from liver disease.
She said:
“I want people to know that my mom’s medications were taken away and not returned. They took away my mother’s medicine. I had no way to help her.”
However, MSNBC quoted the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, saying the woman was given medication.
ICE said:
"During her short stay [at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center], she was given a medical evaluation and prescribed the medications she needed.”
They had moved to the US in 2016, and they have lived there until they were deported. The Trump administration has stepped up the deportation of people living in the US without proper documentation.
