Doctors say 4-year-old Children's Hospital patient could die within days if deported
Briefly

Deysi Vargas plans to address the media about her daughter's critical health situation at a press conference. Her 4-year-old daughter Sofia suffers from short bowel syndrome and relies on vital medical care provided by Children's Hospital Los Angeles. The family's immigration status became precarious after the Trump administration revoked their humanitarian parole, leading to fears they might have to return to a country without adequate medical resources for Sofia. Vargas has initiated a GoFundMe campaign to secure support during this urgent time, which has already raised over $12,400.
Without appropriate medical care in the United States, her doctors at Children's Hospital LA say she will die. The family came to the U.S. under humanitarian parole, but in April, the Trump administration terminated their parole and ordered them to self-deport.
Due to unexpected changes in our circumstances, we're navigating an urgent situation that could impact Sofia's continued medical treatment at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Any support during this uncertain and difficult time would mean the world to us.
