The Trump administration reversed its decision to revoke the legal status of a four-year-old girl receiving life-saving treatment in the US, following widespread backlash.“This is to advise you that effective June 2, 2025, you have been granted humanitarian parole for a period of one year,” said a letter received on Monday, according to the Los Angles Times.Deysi Vargas, her husband, and their daughter, identified by lawyers as Sofia, arrived in the US in 2023 to seek medical care for the young girl, who suffers from a rare condition requiring specialised treatment. In April, the federal government ended the family’s humanitarian parole and ordered them to “self-deport.”Doctors warned that Sofia would likely die “within days” if forced to return to Mexico. Her family and legal team challenged the order, calling it unlawful and “a cruel betrayal of our nation’s values.”The case sparked national outrage and drew strong support from Democratic lawmakers. Dozens of members of Congress, including California senators Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla, signed a letter urging the department of homeland security to reinstate the family’s legal status.“We believe this family’s situation clearly meets the need for humanitarian aid and urge you and this Administration to reconsider its decision. It is our duty to protect the sick, vulnerable, and defenseless. Without action, SGV will die,” the lawmakers wrote.
