Even after being deported from the United States and separated from her children and grandchildren, Rocio Rebollar Gomez never stopped believing in miracles or praying for one of her own.
This week, her prayers were finally answered.
Rebollar Gomez was allowed to return to San Diego on Thursday about a year and a half after being forced to leave. Her case drew international attention in 2019 as her family pleaded with the U.S. government to give her permission to stay through a program for parents of active military members.
Her son, 1st Lt. Gibram Cruz, is an Army intelligence officer. He flew home from Ft. Hood to welcome his mother back into the United States. Because of his status in the military, he had not been allowed to cross the border to visit her after she was deported.

Sandra Ortiz and Bryan Chavez are among the four migrant families recently reunited in the U.S. by the Biden administration.
The reunion came nearly four years after they were separated by the Trump administration as part of an effort to deter illegal immigration.
More than 1,000 families have yet to come back together â and Newsy has learned at least three dozen families will get the chance to reunite in the coming weeks. I m hopeful that within the next three or four weeks, we will see another three dozen families come back, said Lee Gelernt of the American Civil Liberties Union.
