Humanitarian Parole Granted to Mother and Daughter Amid Medical Emergency
By Editor • June 4, 2025 • 1 min read
A mother and her 4-year-old daughter have been granted a one-year humanitarian parole in the U.S. after facing a life-threatening medical crisis. Deysi Vargas received confirmation of the relief on Tuesday, following a public appeal for support.
The family’s situation became dire when they were informed in April that their existing parole and work authorization had been revoked by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The notice warned them of potential deportation if they did not leave the country.
Deysi’s daughter, referred to as S.G.V., suffers from short bowel syndrome, a condition that severely limits her ability to absorb nutrients. This medical condition necessitates daily treatment that cannot be provided outside the U.S., leaving her health in jeopardy if deported. Vargas expressed in a recent conference, “If they deport us and take away my daughter’s access to her specialized care, she will die.”
