Isabel Bueso: ‘There were no words to express our feelings and gratitude’
A Concord woman battling a rare and deadly disease will be permanently allowed to reside in the United States thanks to a bill signed into law Wednesday.
Bueso and her family had been residing lawfully in the East Bay under a program that allows immigrants to avoid deportation while receiving medical treatment not offered in their home country. But in 2019, the Trump Administration, without public notice, canceled the “deferred action” program. A U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services letter sent to the Bueso family said they had 33 days to return to Guatemala or face deportation proceedings.
“There are no words to express our feelings and gratitude for giving us the opportunity to create a solid future in this country,” Bueso said Wednesday. “Congressman DeSaulnier’s support and dedication to our struggle, finding a way forward and making it happen in spite of obstacles, is a testament to his commitment to making life better for his constituents and others.
Maria Isabel Bueso, 24, of Concord, Calif., left, who has a rare disease and needs life saving treatments that are unavailable in her home country of Guatemala, leaves a House Oversight subcommittee hearing into the Trump administration’s decision to stop considering requests from immigrants seeking to remain in the country for medical treatment and other hardships, Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2019, in Washington.
