How lawyer helped her deported mum
In the TikTok post, the immigration lawyer stated that when her mum was deported, she promised her mum that she would become a lawyer and bring her back.
Years later, the lawyer made good her promise.
“When my mom was deported, I promised her that I will become a lawyer and bring her back.
“Today, she is a US citizen!” she wrote.
Commenting further, the lady said her mum’s deportation was the motivating factor behind her decision to study law.
On how she brought her mum back, the lawyer said she filed her green card and then US citizenship.
“Bringing my mom back after deportation was the reason I became a lawyer. Deportation separated my family and I fixed it by filing for her green card and then U.S. citizenship.”
