An Arizona judge has ordered the expedited deportation of the parents of an 18-year-old with terminal cancer who for weeks has pleaded to reunite with his mom and dad. Kevin González was born in Chicago and has Stage 4 colon cancer. He left Chicago and returned to Mexico after his parents were detained while attempting to cross back into the United States, after their request for a humanitarian visa was denied. The couple hopes to reunite with their son, who doesn’t have much time to live, but they have been held in ICE custody since mid-April. Illinois Congressmember Delia Ramirez, who represents Chicago, advocated for Kevin’s parents’ hearing to be fast-tracked in order for them to return to Mexico and reunite with their son in his final moments.
