US EditionGuatemalan migrant who gave birth in US avoids rapid deportation
- A Guatemalan woman named Erika gave birth at Tucson Medical Center in early May 2025 while in U.S. Customs and Border Protection custody and is now facing deportation proceedings in Arizona.
- Erika was detained by Border Patrol after illegally crossing near Tres Bellotas Ranch, and her rapid deportation risked denying her legal counsel and due process as outlined by current immigration rules.
- Officials indicated that once Erika completes her processing, she will receive formal documentation initiating court proceedings, which will grant her the chance to communicate with an attorney—a shift from the previous refusal to allow her contact with her lawyer Luis Campos.
- Campos said the situation is urgent because Erika fled violence in Guatemala, and her newborn U.S. Citizen child might accompany her if deported, though the baby cannot legally be removed from the country alone.
- Advocates and Tucson officials urged compassionate enforcement respecting due process rights, while the ACLU challenged asylum restrictions imposed by the 2023 executive order affecting migrants like Erika.
