Alejandra Juarez was deported to Mexico in 2018 under the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy, leaving behind her husband and daughter, Pamela. Three years after her family was separated, they are reunited – thanks in large part to the efforts of Alejandra’s youngest daughter, 11-year-old Estela.

So happy they are reunited God bless this family they deserve to be here stay strong
Only if they immigrated legally.
she wasnt deported for no reason, msnbc is leaving out that she lied to border agents saying she was an american and was returned to mexico. She illegally crossed the border again. She broke our laws twice.
She should be deported, Mexico is safe
Estela is a beautiful, smart and resourceful little girl. I am so happy that the family could be reunited again. Her mother should never have been deported. I wishing you all a wonderful and happy life together.
Estella has more compassion, intelligence and will than most politicians. She has a bright future.

Some people took pleasure (even joy!) in the heartbreaking cruelty of separating little children from from their moms and dads . . . That’s dark . . . That’s Dracula black . . .

The Reich Wing picked a LOSER

Hooray!!! God BLESS them
SMALL THINGS to other(s) matter to real people on the ground.
That little girl is so smart. I see BiG things for her going forward. I struggle to understand why a large number of Latino Americans voted for Donald Trump angry and mad at immigrants it’s odd and strange to me.
This story gives me hope. God bless you and your family, Estella. A child who is so understanding and compassionate.
This is such a heartwarming story, I hope to see more positive stuff like this. There’s too much negativity in headlines lately. Very happy for this family!
God hears and sees everything. No one can hide from God.
Everyone who supported Trump and his hatred will one day meet their maker and suffer the consequences for the evil they did.
I am so glad your family is back together again:)
💯👍
Love this kid and the letter she wrote to the president. I hope it reached his desk. There was no reason for this mother to be deported. No reason at all!!!
God bless you all. I’m so sorry for the ugliness that exists in too many hearts, but they DO NOT represent us. May you live long and beautiful lives together.
Much love and prayers Brethren Amen God bless Humanity Amen
Why am I tearing up?😥
I’m really happy for them.
What a beautiful child. I’d hope & pray mine would do the same.
As a mother, this story is heartbreaking. Thankfully it had a happy ending.
Very brave and bright young lady may god bless you and your family
I cry for them wen they are too strong to cry.
