A woman whose partner perished in the Francis Scott Key Bridge disaster now confronts the possibility of deportation, creating additional hardship for a family already devastated by loss.
Zoila Guerra Sandoval is the mother of José Mynor López’s child. López was among the construction workers who died when the bridge collapsed in 2024. Now, the Department of Homeland Security has initiated deportation proceedings against Guerra Sandoval.
Her situation illustrates the dramatic shifts that can occur in immigration enforcement when presidential administrations change, demonstrating how policy reversals can upend the lives of immigrant families.
Guerra Sandoval was recently photographed at the Eldridge Crandell Law Firm offices in Baltimore, where she stood overlooking the city’s downtown area as she navigates her legal challenges.
The case represents a compelling example of how immigration policy fluctuations between different administrations can fundamentally alter the trajectory of immigrant lives, particularly for those already facing personal tragedies.
