Candice Garcia-Sanchez, a project manager in Puebla, Mexico, has gained viral attention on Instagram for documenting her family's journey after her husband, Fidel, was deported. Their experience highlights the complexities that mixed-status families face, especially regarding legal protections under U.S. immigration laws. Despite the challenges, including facing negative comments online, the family's openness has led to more positive community engagement and financial support, allowing them to begin building their new home in Mexico ahead of schedule. Their story underscores the resilience and challenges faced by immigrant families.
Contrary to popular belief, being married to a US citizen doesn't guarantee any protection for an undocumented spouse… it makes it substantially more difficult to obtain legal status.
Even though sharing their story online does attract hateful comments, it has brought more positivity into their lives than negativity.
