'I just want her back.' A son has been living a reality without his mother, a DACA recipient, for months. Now, the fight to bring her home is reaching Capitol Hill.
A DACA recipent who has lived in the United States for two decades is now facing a 10-year ban from the only country she's known.As a 14-year-old starting his freshman year in high school, Gerardo Garza Jr. already has plenty to worry about. But now, he's going through all those back-to-school challenges without his mom by his side.
Gonzalez came to the United States years ago as an unaccompanied minor. She received her DACA status in 2017, and since then, has been going through the process of obtaining legal status. Both her husband and son are citizens of the United States. Desperate for help, the family reached out to ABC13, who then reached out to their congresswoman, U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Houston. She quickly agreed to meet with the family at their home, visiting with the teenager, his dad, and Gonzalez via Zoom.
"This family's story is no different than so many others, and it's tragic. It's bureaucratic, cruel on families who are trying to follow the law, who are already certified under DACA, who are still in legal limbo," the congresswoman said.
