Guatemalan Migrant Woman Faces Deportation After Giving Birth in Tucson
A Guatemalan woman, who previously wandered the desert for days while pregnant, has recently given birth at a Tucson hospital. Following her delivery, she was detained by Border Patrol and faced the possibility of rapid deportation. However, the Arizona governor has paused her deportation process, allowing her to remain with her newborn for now. Reports indicate that Border Patrol agents are present at the maternity ward to expedite the deportation of migrant mothers. Despite initial fears, the woman has been reunited with her newborn daughter and is no longer at immediate risk of fast-track deportation, though her future remains uncertain.
