Elvia Chafla

Elvia Chafla is a Latina mother who recently made headlines due to her distressing situation involving her 16-year-old son, J.C., who was taken into custody by ICE while attending a scheduled immigration appointment. After being deported to Ecuador in September 2023, Elvia is deeply concerned about her son's future, fearing that he may be forced to return to a country plagued by violence and instability. She had hoped that her son could remain in the U.S. to pursue better opportunities and obtain a special immigration status, but his detention has left her anxious about the potential consequences for their family.
