Deported Mom Says Toddler’s Return to Venezuela After Separation by US Authorities Was a ‘Miracle’

Venezuelan mother Yorely Bernal was deported from the US in March 2025 without her two-year-old daughter, who remained in foster care.
US authorities separated Bernal and her daughter citing the child's safety and alleging Bernal's family links to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua without presenting specific evidence.
After nearly a year apart, Venezuelan First Lady Cilia Flores returned the toddler to Bernal in Caracas under a court order ending their separation.
Bernal described being reunited with her daughter as a 'miracle' and expressed ongoing hope that her deported partner held in El Salvador's CECOT prison will join them.
The case highlights emotional strain on families amid US deportations alleging criminal gang ties and raises concerns over evidence and treatment of separated children.
