Chavarria applied for asylum after she fled Guatemala but her case was denied. She was given orders of deportation in 1998 and 1999 but did not comply. In 2010, Walls said, she was given a one-year stay of removal "on humanitarian grounds." That stay was extended annually until this year, when she was told she would have to leave. Advocates say the circumstances of her case have changed due to stepped-up immigration enforcement under Trump.
