Borderless Impaction

06/06/2026

Not sorry.

Yes, I know there are “friends” and even “family” members who don’t support my husband or what we’re fighting for. That’s okay. Just remember that when the truth comes out and the dust settles, the comeback is going to be much bigger than the criticism ever was.

What’s truly amazing is watching people expose themselves in real time—showing their racism, closed-minded thinking, lack of empathy, misunderstanding of the law, and sometimes just plain self-centeredness. It’s been eye-opening.

Meanwhile, I’ve chosen to focus on the good. Through all of this, I’ve been blessed to meet families from every corner of this country and from every background imaginable. Complete strangers have shown more compassion, support, and humanity than some people who have known me for years. Let that sink in.

That’s what America is supposed to be about—community, unity, fairness, and standing by one another during difficult times. Not hate. Not racism. Not the constant need to feel superior to someone else.

And for those who love shouting “follow the law” while knowing very little about how immigration law actually works, maybe spend less time repeating talking points and more time educating yourselves. Laws exist for a reason, and so does due process.

The reality is that government overreach impacts Americans too, whether some people want to acknowledge it or not. The difference is that some are paying attention, and others are too busy pointing fingers to notice.

But that’s okay. We’ll keep moving forward, keep fighting, and keep proving people wrong.

Some days I sit and wonder how my three babies continue to wake up every morning carrying such heavy emotions at such a young age, yet still somehow find a reason to smile, laugh, hug me, and keep going. Watching your children suffer because their father is missing from home is a pain I would never wish on anyone. There are tears, questions I don’t always know how to answer, sleepless nights, and moments where the silence in this house feels unbearable.�But if there is one thing this journey has shown me, it’s how incredibly strong my children are. They are hurting, yet they continue to love so deeply. They continue to pray. They continue to believe their dad is coming home. And because of them, I will never stop fighting.�No matter how exhausting this process becomes, no matter how mentally, emotionally, or financially draining immigration detention has been on our family, I refuse to give up. My children deserve their father. They deserve peace, stability, laughter at the dinner table, bedtime hugs from both parents, and the chance to grow up without this fear hanging over them.�Everything I do is for them. Every call, every court update, every tear, every prayer, every sleepless night — it is all for my babies and for the man they love so much.�To my children: I hope one day you look back and realize your mom never stopped fighting for your family, not even on the hardest days. You three are the reason I keep standing when life tries to break me.�And to every family going through immigration detention right now — I see your pain, and I pray your loved ones make it home safely too. 🤍

There is nothing easy about being in the middle of a Habeas case while wondering every single day if your family will be the next one finally praising God for good news… or the next one devastated by another delay, another denial, another sleepless night.

People say, “just be patient,” “these things take time,” or “trust the process.”
But what they fail to understand is that TIME is all families like ours have left. Every single day feels like survival mode. When all is wanted is communication every step of the way.

The system keeps moving whether your children are crying at night or not. Whether you are mentally exhausted or emotionally breaking down or financially drowning trying to hold everything together alone. Bills still come. Rent is still due. Children still need food, comfort, protection, and stability. Meanwhile the world around you keeps moving like nothing is wrong while your entire life feels frozen.

What many people do not understand is that not everyone detained is some dangerous criminal the media tries to portray. There are fathers, husbands, providers, and human beings sitting in detention while families on the outside are left carrying pain nobody sees. Some have been here most of their lives. Some only know America as home. Some are still fighting valid legal battles while being treated as if their lives mean nothing.

And the hardest part? Feeling like the system does not care how deeply this destroys families mentally, emotionally, spiritually, or financially. It becomes a battle of endurance. A battle to stay strong for your children while quietly falling apart inside.

A mother wakes up every day praying she can continue holding everything together. Praying nothing happens to her babies. Praying nothing happens to herself because the thought of someone having to call her husband and tell him something terrible while he sits helpless behind detention walls is unbearable.

People outside of this life truly do not understand the depression that comes with waiting. The fear. The isolation. The anger. The exhaustion. The feeling that your family’s future is sitting in the hands of strangers who go home to their own families every night while yours remains separated.

And yes — it truly feels like if the government wants someone badly enough, there are people who will help destroy that person without ever caring about the human life attached to the case file. That is a terrifying reality many families are waking up to.

This world has become “every man for himself” for far too many people. Compassion is disappearing. Humanity is disappearing. Families are suffering in silence while others look away because it is not happening to them.

Wake up.
These are human beings.
These are children missing their fathers.
These are wives carrying impossible weight alone.
These are families begging God every single night for mercy, justice, and one more chance to stay together.

And despite all of it… we still pray. We still fight. We still hold onto faith because sometimes faith is the only thing this system cannot take away.

God always wins. No matter how dark things may seem, His light continues to shine brighter than any injustice, fear, or obstacle placed in front of us. He places the strongest soldiers in the hardest battles because they are meant to fight not only for themselves, but for so many others who feel unseen and unheard.

Seeing steps being taken to bring Adriana home is powerful and deeply needed. We continue praying for her safety, protection, healing, and for peace to surround her family during this difficult time. May God place His hands over every person working tirelessly to fight for what is right.

And to know that one of the attorneys who helped fight and win for Adriana is also our attorney fighting for Ever to come home too gives me even more faith that timing is everything. God places people exactly where they need to be, and I truly believe He is working behind the scenes even when we cannot yet see the full picture.

Immigration laws exist for a reason, and every case deserves fairness, humanity, and understanding. For those who may think differently, I pray hearts and minds remain open enough to become educated before judging someone else’s story. Compassion costs nothing, and many families are simply fighting to stay together and survive.

May God continue strengthening every family, every advocate, every attorney, and every person standing up for justice. Faith will always be stronger than fear. 🙏

ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING.

What’s happening in parts of our immigration system right now deserves real attention—not assumptions, not politics, but truth.

There are people navigating situations most of us will never fully understand. Families being separated. Cases delayed. Decisions that can change someone’s entire life overnight. And while many speak from the outside, those actually going through it see a very different reality—one that is often overwhelming, confusing, and deeply emotional.

Here’s what needs to be said: every case is different.
Immigration is not one-size-fits-all. There are laws in place—real laws—meant to protect both U.S. citizens and immigrants. But when those laws aren’t followed properly, or when the system fails to act fairly, the consequences are not just legal… they are human.

Before judging someone’s situation, take a moment to learn, research, and understand.
Not having a 9-digit number does not erase someone’s humanity, their story, or their rights.

We can disagree. We can ask questions. But we should never lose compassion.

Please share. Awareness matters.

Many people don’t realize how complex—and at times deeply flawed—the American immigration system can be until they or someone they love goes through it.

U.S. immigration isn’t just about laws on paper; it’s a massive system involving agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the federal courts. In theory, it’s supposed to follow strict rules and deadlines. In reality, delays are extremely common, responses from the government can be late or missing, and cases can be left pending for long periods without clear explanations.

One major issue is the lack of accountability. When individuals miss deadlines, there are immediate consequences. But when government agencies fail to respond on time or follow procedures, there often aren’t the same penalties. This imbalance can make the system feel unfair and one-sided.

There are also inconsistencies in how cases are handled. Two people with very similar situations can receive completely different outcomes depending on the court, the judge, or even the timing of their case. That unpredictability adds to the stress and confusion families already face.

This doesn’t mean every part of the system is corrupt—but it does highlight serious structural problems, including inefficiency, lack of transparency, and uneven enforcement of the rules.

Understanding this helps explain why so many people call for reform. At the end of the day, immigration isn’t just policy—it affects real people, real families, and real lives. A system built on fairness and due process should work consistently for everyone, not just in theory, but in practice.

This week is a very big and important week for our little family as we continue fighting for Ever.

About 2 1/2 weeks ago, we filed a habeas corpus petition, and things are finally moving forward. A federal judge has ordered ICE to respond by this Thursday, April 9, explaining why Ever is still being detained. After that, our attorney—who is more than ready to fight—has until April 16 to respond.

Ever has done everything that has been asked of him and has so much working in his favor. Because of that, I am genuinely very curious to see how ICE responds.

This entire situation has also been a continuous financial strain on our family. Between legal fees, daily expenses, and navigating life without Ever home, it has been incredibly challenging. We still have our GoFundMe page available for anyone who knows our situation or feels led to support us in any way—every bit truly helps and means more than we can express.

At the end of all of this, my biggest hope is that people take a step back and truly try to understand immigration law for what it actually is—not based on opinions, assumptions, or what we constantly hear. This system is complex, and what many believe isn’t always the reality.

If you, your family, or someone you know is going through anything related to immigration, please don’t hesitate to reach out, ask questions, and do the research. Make sure they are safe and taking the right legal steps and pathways for help.

We hear every day about what is happening in our country, and many of us have said for years that the government is corrupt. But I can honestly say—it hits completely different when you experience it firsthand. I never truly understood just how broken and unfair parts of our justice system can be until now.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, prayed for us, and stood by our side. We are holding onto hope.

It’s wild how immigration posts attract the most trolls and bot-like accounts—people who jump in loud, aggressive, and dismissive on issues that don’t even affect them and that they clearly haven’t taken the time to understand.

They don’t show up to learn how immigration law actually works or have a real conversation. It’s always the same script: insults, oversimplifications, and acting like everything is black and white when it’s not.

Immigration is complex. It involves civil law, due process, families, and real lives—not just talking points. If someone actually cared, they’d be willing to listen, ask questions, and engage respectfully.

I won’t participate in that kind of negative thinking. Just because someone doesn’t understand something doesn’t make them right—and it definitely doesn’t mean someone else should have to suffer because of that lack of understanding.

There are already too many children in this country growing up without their parents. There’s no reason to keep adding to that when there are loving, present fathers who show up for their kids 24/7 being taken away from them simply because others choose not to understand.

Keep an open mind, learn, and choose understanding over the hate you’ve been taught.

At some point, it becomes obvious who’s here for discussion—and who’s just here to provoke.
