Immigrant Family Navigates Life In U.S. Amid Border Patrol Operations

UNSPECIFIED, UNITED STATES - NOVEMBER 18: Honduran immigrant Sandra Sanchez walks her daughter Yanela, 9, to the school bus stop on November 18, 2025 at an unspecified location in the United States. Like many of her fellow immigrant students, Yanela had stayed home from school the day before due to a Border Patrol operation in the area. Parents feared they might be caught up in the dragnet. Sandra brought Yanela to the U.S. from Honduras when she was age 2, crossing the Rio Grande from Mexico on June 12, 2018 to McAllen, Texas. They were detained for several weeks before being released to pursue their asylum process in U.S. immigration court. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
