Last year, 19 year-old Regina began the process of applying for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), a classification for migrants under 21 who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned by a parent. When Regina was around 10, she moved to Connecticut to live her father and recently received court orders granting her father sole guardianship. In June, the Trump administration rolled back protections that shielded SIJS recipients from being removed from the United States. For the safety of Regina and her family, Regina requested only her first name be used in this story.
