DHS Moves to Deport Mother of Child Who Lost Father in Bridge Collapse

  • Zoila Guerra Sandoval's partner, Mynor López, was among six construction workers killed in the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in 2022, with his body being the last recovered.
  • Despite encouragement from the Biden administration to seek immigration relief, Guerra Sandoval's application was denied, and she is now in deportation proceedings initiated by the Trump administration.
  • Her attorney, Rachel Girod, is committed to fighting the deportation, highlighting the cruel shift in immigration policy affecting families of disaster victims.
