Later, when Alejandra will grow roots in Mexico, it will move 9-year-old Estelaand her husband will stay with 16-year-old Pamela and will pay the bills.

Alejandra’s lawyers told reporters that now only she is deported because of the policy of «zero tolerance», which was started by Donald trump.
«A real shame for the administration to trump deportation is the wife of the patriot, – said US Congressman Darren Soto. Her husband, Temo, served in the Marines, when she was in the rear and raising the two girls. Where is the justice?»

After living 20 years in the United States, Mexico has become for Alejandra a foreign country where she has no family, no friends, so she decided to move to the Mexican city of Merida, where it can help a small community of deported military spouses.
