Through a series of interviews, EL PAÍS reconstructs the arrest of roughly 50 migrants at a bonded warehouse in October 2025. Months of detention and deportations have torn apart dozens of families
María Eugenia García's second daughter, Killy Tatiana Yangquen García, was born prematurely after just 20 years of being inseparable. Killy spent her early life clinging to her mother, protected at all times. On a fateful October morning, Killy's life was tragically disrupted when she was apprehended in an immigration raid at a bonded warehouse where she worked illegally.
María Eugenia, unable to shield her daughter, has been left heartbroken, separated by video call. María weeps in her Elizabeth, New Jersey home, yearning to reunite with her daughter she sent back to Colombia over a decade ago.
