Adela Betulia Ramírez Quezada was trying to reunite with her mother and two sisters in California. The morning that she climbed in to a trailer with dozens of others, she called her mother to say they would see each other soon.
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. As a baby, Adela’s favorite TV show was “Teletubbies,” the British children’s program. Her grandmother shipped four plush Teletubbies from Los Angeles to Honduras when she was a toddler and she wouldn’t let them out of her sight, usually dragging them around the house by their antennas, Quezada said.
As a child, Adela’s dream was to be a doctor or a nurse. She would take her play medical toys and pretend to take the vital signs of her sisters or parents when they got sick, Quezada said. Adela started to work wherever she could find a job, Quezada said. She sold clothing at a local store. Her latest job was working as a receptionist for a doctor in town who was inundated with patients dealing with COVID-19 symptoms.Quezada said she was shopping in her hometown in 2016 when a truck pulled over and the driver pointed a gun at her. The man looked nervous and dropped the gun, Quezada said. He eventually picked up the gun and drove off without saying a word.
Quezada’s husband didn’t want to go with her. She said they had begun having marital problems, which got worse after they weren’t able to repair the hurricane damage to their house. They agreed it was best to separate, Quezada said. In Mexico, the group hitched rides and took buses through the country, sleeping in the streets at night. They reached Tamaulipas a month after leaving Honduras, she said.
