A Missing Goleta Mom on Mother’s Day
Even with a Son in the U.S. Armed Forces, Juana Flores Was Deported
In the U.S. since 1988, Juana Flores (left) was deported, even with a green card in the works.
Senior Airman E-4 Caesar Flores is on active duty in the U.S. Air Force and can be sent to a war zone at any time to protect our homeland.
Yet, on April 2, 2019, his mother, Juana Flores, was deported to Mexico, a country she had not lived in for over three decades. She could not cook dinner for her Goleta family on Mother’s Day. She appeared via Skype, unable to touch her progeny.
She was ordered removed from the country in which her U.S. citizen husband, her 10 children, and her 16 grandchildren live. They are hardworking, home-owning, tax-paying, productive members of our society.
