A teen battling terminal cancer has died, just one day after being reunited with his parents in Durango, Mexico, following their release from U.S. immigration custody.
Kevin González, 18, was able to hug his parents again in Durango, Mexico; he died surrounded by his family.
Earlier this week, an immigration judge had ordered the expedited release of Gonzalez’s parents so they could reunite with him in Mexico.
Kevin Gonzalez is reunited with his parents in Durango following their release from U.S. immigration custody.
Following his diagnosis, Kevin’s parents had attempted to cross the border to see him in Chicago, but they were taken into custody by ICE agents and were put in immigration detention in Arizona.
While his parents were detained, Kevin flew back to Mexico and was in the care of his grandmother.
He held on to his final wish, and Kevin woke up to his parents’ touch and care on Sunday. »
