Tania Carbonell Cruz

Tania Carbonell Cruz is a Cuban deportee who recently returned to Cuba after living in the United States for over three years. She made the difficult decision to agree to deportation rather than endure a lengthy detention process with ICE. Tania left behind her three grown children in Texas, who had previously emigrated and secured residency. Her story reflects the painful separations and emotional turmoil faced by many Cuban immigrants under changing U.S. immigration policies.
