ICE deceived a Florida mom named Heidy Sánchez, falsely telling her she could not keep her baby, then quickly deported her alone to Cuba. Sánchez’s attorney said they tried to stop her deportation by arguing that her removal would hurt her daughter’s health. Her baby still breastfeeds and suffers from seizures. But just two days later—before any legal hearing could be held—she was put on a plane & deported to Cuba.

Yoselin Mejía Pérez suffers from a rare genetic disorder known as maple syrup urine disease (MSUD). This condition involves the body’s inability to process certain amino acids, causing a harmful buildup of substances in the blood and urine. According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), if left untreated, progressive brain damage is inevitable, and death typically occurs within weeks or months.
