Stories of Mexican Deportees: The Human Impacts of U.S. immigration Enforcement

On the 10th anniversary of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), Latino USA presents the untold stories of forced return through the voices of three women who are trying to form a life in Mexico.

Maggie, Madaí and Esme left the United States before and after DACA was implemented because of the federal government’s inability to offer them a clear future as undocumented immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as children.

The Southwestern Law Review published a symposium on Beth Caldwell, Deported Americans:  Life After Deportation to Mexico (2019), which also tells stories about long-term U.S. residents deported to Mexico.
