A family seeking medical treatment in the United States for their daughter, who is undergoing treatment for brain cancer, was deported at a border checkpoint during what was expected to be a routine visit.

The family had been regularly crossing the border for two years with documentation to access necessary care.

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, representing Texas’s 18th Congressional District, addressed the case, noting the family had consistently followed legal procedures for their medical travel.

She expressed concern over the disruption to the daughter’s critical treatment and called for a review of the circumstances.

Border authorities reportedly cited policy or procedural changes as the reason for the deportation, though specific details have not been made public.

The deportation has prompted calls for clearer policies regarding cross-border travel for medical care. Advocates stress the need for consistent enforcement and greater consideration for humanitarian cases involving critical health conditions.
