The family of a four-year-old girl, Sofia, is in a critical struggle against deportation from the United States, facing a dire warning from her medical team that she will likely die within days if returned to Mexico. Sofia suffers from short bowel syndrome and needs specialized care she has been receiving at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. The family's legal status was revoked in April by the Trump administration, prompting fears for Sofia's life. Advocates highlight the moral and legal obligation to provide care, while the family hopes for a reversal of the deportation order based on humanitarian grounds.
"Sofia's doctors have been clear she will die within days, Gina Amato, the directing attorney of Public Counsel's Immigrants' Rights Project, which is representing the family."
"Deporting this family under these conditions is not only unlawful it constitutes a moral failure that violates the basic tents of humanity and decency."
