heartbreaking, poor little girl, she must be terrified with out her mother

One of the newest arrivals this week at the Baptist Children’s Home Ministries facility for child migrants in San Antonio, Tex., is 10 years old.
She has cerebral palsy. Her name is Rosa Maria Hernandez, and she does not understand why, days after undergoing emergency gallbladder surgery, she has not yet seen her mother, even though they are less than a three-hour drive apart.
“Do I get to go home tomorrow?” she asked her mother on Wednesday evening, when they spoke over FaceTime.
“I told her that she was only there because she was recovering, and once she was recovered, then she could come with me,” recalled her mother, Felipa de la Cruz, speaking in Spanish.
“O.K., Mommy.”
The truth is that Ms. de la Cruz does not know when her daughter will be released.

Politicians have called for her release; activists have rallied, fund-raised and prayed on her behalf, questioning whether the Border Patrol violated its own policy against arresting immigrants at hospitals and why agents chose to expend so much time and manpower on a disabled 10-year-old girl.
