- Carmen and her spouse arrived in the United States in 1999 to escape violence in Mexico, have spent more than twenty years attempting to obtain legal status, and now live with the constant fear of detention and restricted opportunities.
- The Trump administration's May launch of the CBP Home app offers a voluntary self-deportation program including a $1,000 stipend and paid flights, which tens of thousands have used so far.
- Carmen and others see self-deportation as their only option despite risks, with families like the Mendozas leaving the U.S. on June 28 while some children remain behind, reflecting growing anxiety in their community.
