Mexican girl medical care humanitarian parole.

A 4-year-old Mexican girl who receives lifesaving medical care from a Southern California hospital has been granted permission to remain in the country. Authorities said weeks prior she could be deported. An attorney for the girl’s family said Tuesday that U.S. immigration officials sent a letter granting the girl and her mother humanitarian parole for one year. The girl can continue to receive treatment she has been getting since arriving on the U.S.-Mexico border in 2023. The grant came after the family said they had received notifications in April and May that their humanitarian parole was being revoked. A message was sent to the Department of Homeland Security.

The Trump administration has revoked permission for a 4-year-old Mexican girl who receives lifesaving medical care from a California hospital to stay in the country, her family says. Lawyer Gina Amato said Wednesday the girl’s mother was notified the U.S. government was withdrawing the humanitarian parole the family received in 2023 when she brought her ailing child to the border. Since then, the girl has made it out of the hospital thanks to a treatment she receives from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Amato says the child’s doctors have said without it she could die in days.
