Zoila Guerra Sandoval lost her former partner, Jose Mynor Lopez, in the 2024 Key Bridge collapse. In response, the government offered her permanent residency if she applied. She did. Clerical errors blocked it. Now, she faces deportation and possible separation from their 7-year-old U.S. citizen daughter, who has already lost her father. A promise was made and broken. A mother should not have to fight to stay in the country where her partner gave his life working.
"I’m not anti-Semitic at all, but I am anti-Zionist. I don’t believe they have the right, after 3,000 years, to reclaim the land with western bombs and guns on biblical injunction.”
