Back in Florida, deported military spouse takes on new mission Jennifer Holton reports TAMPA, Fla. - As cameras rolled inside Orlando International Airport three years ago, we saw the moment Alejandra Juarez was forced to return to Mexico. Today, we learned what was going through her mind. "I wanted to die," she recalled through tears. "I honestly thought that I wasn’t going to be able to make it." Juarez was deported after living undocumented in the U.S. for 20 years. She came here illegally, fell in love with a Marine, and gave birth to American daughters. But the American dream came to a screeching halt in 2013 when a traffic stop put her on ICE’s radar. In 2018, President Trump’s zero-tolerance policy forced her back to Mexico.
