Ecuadorian immigrant Andrea, 28, prepares to pass through a TSA checkpoint before departing with her children for Ecuador at JFK International Airport on October 26, 2025 in New York, New York. Andrea, along with her cousin Jennyfer, 22, decided to "self deport" with their children after their husbands were detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and later deported to Ecuador due to their undocumented status. The mothers, unable to work and care for their children without spousal support, chose to return to Ecuador with the help of the aid group Danbury Unites, whose donors purchased their air tickets to Quito and volunteers assisted with the logistics of moving. Andrea said she chose not to use the Trump Administration's app CBP Home, fearing that by sharing personal information with ICE, she could be permanently separated from her two children during the "self deportation" process. Andrea's youngest daughter Shanell, 7 months, was born in the United States and is a U.S. citizen. Like other small immigrant community aid organizations around the United States, Danbury Unites' Post-Disappearance Support Group strives to provide such vulnerable families whose loved ones have been detained with a modicum of safety while offering both emotional and tangible support by connecting immigrants to resources, regardless of whether they decide to stay in the U.S. or leave. Such groups have provided a humanitarian lifeline to many immigrant communities currently living in fear across the United States, as ICE expands its operations with the express mandate of mass deportations.
