Save Sofia: 4-Year-Old Faces Life-Threatening Risk After U.S. Terminates Medical Parole
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Department of Homeland Security, and the Trump Administration
Sofia* is a four-year-old girl who was granted humanitarian parole to come to the United States for one reason: to survive. She has a life-threatening condition called short bowel syndrome and is receiving highly specialized care at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles— treatment she cannot safely get in Mexico.
But now, the U.S. government has terminated her humanitarian parole—putting her and her family at risk of being deported. If removed from the U.S., Sofia will lose access to the daily medical treatment that keeps her alive. Her doctors have warned: without it, she could die within days.
This is not just cruel—it’s a betrayal of the humanitarian values that the United States claims to uphold. We’re calling on USCIS and DHS to immediately reinstate Sofia’s humanitarian parole so she can continue her treatment and stay alive.
Sign the petition to demand that the Trump Administration save Sofia and stop this preventable tragedy.

We are writing with deep concern about the case of four-year-old Sofia, who is facing deportation despite receiving life-saving medical treatment at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
Sofia suffers from short bowel syndrome and depends on total parenteral nutrition (TPN) to survive. Her doctors have made it clear: if she is deported, she will lose access to her treatment and will die within days.
Sofia came to the U.S. legally, under humanitarian parole, because she had no other option. Her condition cannot be safely treated in Mexico. Revoking her parole now is not only medically dangerous—it is morally indefensible.
We urge you to immediately reinstate humanitarian parole for Sofia and her family, and to ensure that no child is deported into a life-threatening situation.
Please act with compassion and urgency. Sofia’s life is in your hands.
