Families that were separated when trying to cross from Mexico to the United States during the administration of former President Donald Trump, seek to reunite with their loved ones despite all obstacles involving the US immigration system .
One of these cases is the one reported by the US newspaper The Washington Post, in its report entitled “Separated at the US-Mexico border by Trump, a mother and daughter work to reconnect.”
The report relates the case of a mother named María Chic Reynoso, from Guatemala, and her minor daughter, Adelaida Reynoso, who through a smuggler managed to reach the border with the United States and where, when trying to cross, they were separated by border agents in July of 2017.
Four years later, now with the administration of Joe Biden and in a new attempt to reunite with his daughter , Mrs. María Chic, who had been deported, traveled to Houston in June where an immigration agent detained her at the airport, a situation that caused her to miss the flight to Florida where she would see her daughter Adelaida Reynoso from 10 years old, who is cared for by her aunt.
The situation of María Chic and that of her daughter Adelaida is just one of hundreds of cases of families that suffer from the complications of being able to reunite with their relatives after being separated and deported. Some even no longer speak the same language or do not remember their parents at all due to the long periods of time to meet again in the United States.
Currently the administration of the president Joe Biden has promised, through a mass reunification pilot program, to reunite hundreds of families separated at the border under his predecessor.
