Juana Flores to Return to Goleta and will be reunited with her family
–This week, Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara) announced that the Department of Homeland Security has granted Central Coast community member Juana Flores humanitarian parole. After being deported to Mexico two years ago, she will now be reunited with her family.
“After two long years apart, the Flores family will finally be reunited,” said Rep. Carbajal. “Juana’s deportation under the Trump Administration left a hole in our Central Coast community that I’m glad will now be filled. I thank the Biden administration for granting her humanitarian parole, which means she can return to her community and be present in the lives of her children and grandchildren. However, I will continue fighting to secure a permanent stay for Juana and reunite other families that were cruelly separated under the Trump administration. The families of our service members deserve our respect and admiration, not deportation,
