ICE Detains Honduran Mother Of 4 After 12 Years In U.S.; Family Faces Deportation Split

Keily Chinchilla-Alegria, a Honduran mother of four who has lived in the U.S. for 12 years, was detained by ICE in February and now faces deportation despite saying she has no criminal record. Her potential removal could separate her from her U.S.-born children. The case aligns with a broader 2025 surge in interior enforcement against long‑term residents, prompting legal and community responses to prevent family separations.
