A disturbing update to this story: Despite the fact that he was about to be released from a US prison after completing a sentence here, when Kelvin Membreño was deported to El Salvador he was sent to CECOT prison and remains there. The family has not heard from him since.

Here their adoptive mother makes a last ditch plea to let him stay in the same country as the girls. A gutting guest essay:
