Harvard Grad Returns to Mexico, Fearing Deportation

Francisco Hernandez-Corona, an undocumented immigrant and Harvard graduate, has self-deported to Mexico along with his husband. The couple left the United States three weeks prior, driven by fears of potential arrest and detention due to Hernandez-Corona's immigration status.

Originally from Los Angeles, Hernandez-Corona had been living and working in the U.S. after completing his studies at Harvard University. The decision to return to Mexico was described as difficult, but necessary to avoid the risk of being separated and facing prolonged detention.

This case brings attention to the situation of undocumented immigrants who have pursued higher education and contribute to the U.S. economy. The complexities of immigration law and enforcement continue to impact the lives of individuals and families across the country. Advocates for immigration reform are calling for more comprehensive solutions that address the needs of all immigrants, including those with advanced degrees and valuable skills.
