Deportation left three US-born daughters behind A Southern California family is devastated after the deportation of a couple -- Gladys and Nelson Gonzalez -- who had lived in the United States for 35 years. Their three US-born daughters are in shock and heartbroken by the sudden action by the US authorities.
Gladys Gonzalez, 55, and Nelson Gonzalez, 59, were detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on February 21. After spending three and a half weeks in detention, they were deported to their native Colombia on March 18, according to CNN.
