Migrant's 'Failure to Appear in Court decades ago' comes back to haunt her at Green Card interview
A mother who has lived in the US since she was a child was detained during a green card interview and now faces deportation for missing a court hearing decades ago.
Rosmery Alvarado applied for permanent residency after her husband, Nixon Alvarado, became a US citizen on March 19 and had her first interview on Wednesday.
Her daughter Carina Moran said she waited at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Kansas City while her parents went inside.
Rosmery was born in Guatemala and Nixon arrived from El Salvador when he was 18. Their four children are all American citizens, and the family lives in Pittsburg, Kansas.
Moran believes the interview was a trap to detain Rosmery, and claimed USCIS officers let Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents into the office.
The mother-of-four is being held at an ICE facility hours away from home and her family were told she would be deported to Guatemala within three days.
