Dreamer Mums: Divided by US Deportation | Witness

Every year, over 400,000 people are deported from the US.

Yolanda Varona is one of them. After living in San Diego for 17 年, tragedy struck one day when she was arrested and deported to Mexico. Because her children are US citizens she left them behind with their father in California.

“It’s like waking up from the American dream and discovering a nightmare,” she says.

She is trapped in Tijuana, 墨西哥, her life in limbo, but she is fighting to reclaim her life and her family.

Once in Tijuana, she discovered other women in the same predicament and together they founded a support group called Dreamer Moms. Through it, they are fighting for the right to return to the US and reunite with their children.
