Mom was deported to Cuba and said she never had a "choose" to take her 17-month-old daughter

Heidy Sánchez was so upset that she got on the roof of a house in Havana to get Wi-Fi connection and sent her to her via WhatsApp.

She and her attorney told NBC News that the Tampa-area mother was deported to Cuba last week without a 17-month-old American citizen daughter.

“My daughter told me over the phone, ‘Come on mom.’ When she cried, she just kept saying, “Mom, mom, mom. "It's overwhelming...I can't even sleep at night," Sanchez said via Havana's phone call.

Sánchez's case illustrates the accelerated immigrants without criminal charges or convictions, although President Donald Trump said during the election campaign that the focus was on deporting violent criminals.

Sarenchis' deportation occurred when two other mothers were deported to Honduras along with their children of U.S. citizens, including one with stage 4 cancer. In both cases, the lawyer said the mother wanted their children to stay in the United States but did not allow them to make arrangements.

As far as Sanchez is concerned, she said everything happened very quickly. "They never gave me the choice to take my daughter," Sarenchis said, too.

The ICE did not respond to a request for comment on the case, but the government said in a previous comment that parents who were deported could choose to take their children.

Sanchez said her daughter started having seizures three months ago and saw a neurologist in the Tampa area. Her daughter’s bedtime routines include breastfeeding, lullaby, and sleeping in bed.

Now, her daughter is crying, Sanchez and her husband, Carlos Valle, said in a separate interview. Valle is a U.S. citizen and he stayed in Tampa with his children.

Her Miami attorney Claudia Cañizares said Sánchez plans to move in at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office in Tampa on April 30, but her appointment was hit.

Sánchez went on a date with his daughter and Cañizares in Tampa, while Sanchez's husband Valle was waiting outside because he wouldn't allow him to enter the room.

During the date, Sanchez was told she was in custody and she needed to arrange for someone to pick up the child. According to Sanchez and his attorney, Sanchez began to cry, saying she couldn't leave the baby. The officer told her that the child could visit her in Cuba.

The child was handed over to the lawyer in the room and she brought her to her father. According to the lawyer, the officer did not ask Sarenchez to say goodbye to her husband, nor did he hand over the baby to him. When Val asked if he could say goodbye, they told him no, saying he had to leave.

Val said he tried his best to comfort his daughter. He has contacted members of Congress for help and brought Sanchez home.

Valle will meet with Castor's office on Friday.

R-FLA. Senator Rick Scott's office responded with a letter viewed by NBC News that "our office cannot help you on this legal issue" and advised Valle to speak with a private attorney.

Kanisals said she would not be deported when she found out that Sánchez was detained on Tuesday and was working to evacuate on humanitarian grounds.

"It's very taxable and very overwhelming," Kanisals said. She said when her company applied for documents on Thursday, she was told Sánchez had been evacuated from the country, even though she thought she was still there and was later deported.

"It's scary because we have the rule of law and as lawyers, I have to follow these rules," Kanisals said. "But what should I do if the government doesn't follow these rules?

Sánchez applied for our asylum in Trump’s first administration in 2019. Under his “immigration protection agreement,” asylum seekers must wait in Mexico for their hearing in the U.S. Immigration Court.

Sanchez said she missed her scheduled hearing in the United States because she was asked to wait in Nuevo León, Mexico at the time, and she said she crossed the international bridge at 4 a.m. because the hearing she missed was too dangerous and she was ordered to be deported. But she later went to the port and was allowed to enter the United States. She was detained for nine months, then released under ice supervision and regularly inspected.

Sánchez's husband is a naturalized American citizen and a citizen from Cuba. He is trying to get Sanchez to get a green card.

Cañizares is considering asking Sánchez to request humanitarian parole, although she acknowledged it was a "stretching exercise" because her removal order had been executed. Other processes considered are complex and can take years.

"The only thing we want is to reunite again," Sanchez said. "We are not asking for money. We are not asking for food... Our daughter is suffering. She is the most affected person, which scares us. We hope this sentence conveys the people involved."
