On Saturday Juarez will rejoin her family in Florida as one of the first beneficiaries of a humanitarian program set up by Joe Biden’s administration to reunify parents Trump separated from their children. Also unclear is how many military families were affected by what Biden has called the “human tragedy” of separations during the four years Trump was in office. Juarez self-deported in 2018 after Trump implemented his no-tolerance approach, and before authorities could enforce a removal order issued against her. When the coronavirus pandemic struck, Juarez said, her jobs teaching English slowed up and Estela returned to Florida. Estela, Juarez said, is documenting the family’s story in a forthcoming book titled Until Someone Listens.
