A Salvadoran Woman Missed Her U.S. Court Date. What Happens Next?
After a week full of immigration news, NPR's Lulu Garcia-Navarro has an update on the story of a woman from El Salvador who is seeking asylum in the United States.
President Trump signed a proclamation for the deployment of National Guard troops to the southern border last week, seemingly in reaction to a so-called "caravan" of Central American migrants traveling through Mexico, some to the U.S. to seek asylum.
Many of these migrants are women and children, fleeing violence in their home countries, like one El Salvadoran woman and her son who NPR has been following for more than a year.
She and her then 17-year-old son in south Texas.
