A 4-year-old girl named Sofia, suffering from short bowel syndrome, has been granted humanitarian parole by the U.S. government after fears arose that her deportation would lead to loss of necessary medical treatment. Sofia's condition necessitates specialized IV treatments that are available only in the U.S. This decision allows her to continue receiving life-saving care at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Her initial humanitarian parole was in jeopardy due to letters from the Department of Homeland Security threatening termination, emphasizing the precarious situation her family faced in securing ongoing treatment.
Sofia's mother has received an approval notice for humanitarian parole for one year, allowing her to continue life-saving medical treatment in the U.S.
Sofia suffers from short bowel syndrome and requires specialized IV treatments, which can only be administered in the U.S. due to medical equipment specifications.
