Adela Betulia Ramírez Quezada called her mother to say they'd see each other soon the morning she joined dozens of others in the trailer.
r meant to help stop the spread of the coronavirus, more than 2 million times.
She said she crossed the border from the Mexican state of Tamaulipas into South Texas and requested asylum in the U.S.; she was allowed to stay in the country while her asylum case is pending. Shortly after Quezada started to attend church, she met the man who would become her husband — when they married, he adopted Adela as his own. Adela immediately saw him as her own father, Quezada said.
Adela fell one year short of graduating from high school, Quezada said, because the family didn’t have enough money to continue buying school supplies. She set her sights on being a cosmetologist — but again the family couldn’t save enough money for her to attend a trade school. Quezada said her hometown was safe when she was growing up, but as time has passed, more people have turned to crime. She said it also became common for men to sexually harrass women on public transporation or as they walked around town.
The night before Quezada left for the U.S. in February 2021, the family had one last meal together: pizza. The next morning, Quezada hugged her eldest daughter. Adela told her youngest sister to take care of their mother. For four months, Quezada and her daughter lived in a shelter in Tamaulipas. A local organization gave her the number of a lawyer who helped her file for a humanitarian exemption to Title 42 — which was granted in July 2021.
