The undocumented 10-year-old detained by the US border patrol on the way to a Texas hospital has been released from custody to rejoin her family.
Rosa Maria Hernandez left a shelter for unaccompanied minors in San Antonio on Friday, nine days after she was taken there. After she had passed through an interior checkpoint, officers had followed her to a children’s hospital in Corpus Christi, waited outside her room and arrested her once she had recovered from a gall bladder operation.
Soon after the Democratic US representative for San Antonio, Joaquin Castro, tweeted that the Department of Health and Human Services and the contractor that runs the shelter, BCFS, “are refusing to let me meet with Rosa Maria”, she was released pending a decision on whether the deportation process against her would continue.
“While this is welcome news, Rosa Maria’s future remains uncertain,” Castro said in a statement. “The Trump administration has not made clear whether they will proceed with deportation proceedings against her … The United States should not be a place where children seeking life-sustaining medical care are at risk of apprehension.”
