Jose Escobar, who crossed the Mexican border in 2001with his mother when he was just 14-years old, had spent his entire adult life in the United States and didn’t have a criminal record.

Since her husband’s deportation more than three months ago, Rose Escobar has maintained that she will continue to work to bring her husband back to the U.S.

“This is an injustice,” Escobar said. “My family deserves to be together...and we will see victory in the end. I have faith in God, because he’s in control.”

Green who stood next to Rose Escobar, said the ordeal of a family without their father had gone on for much too long and that he’d sent to President Donald Trump asking him to use his presidential power to reunite this family.

“The highest office in the land can make a difference in the life of this family,” Green said. “Mr. Escobar was an aspiring citizen. He was was involuntarily deported to a country he hadn’t seen in more than a decade. He came, and he worked and he became a good family man.”

Rose Escobar and her children will spend a month in El Salvador, and she has vowed to continue her fight to bring her husband back, she she returns to the United States.
