About five blocks from home, he noticed a car was following him.

When Calixto couldn\u2019t produce a driver\u2019s license, the agents ran his fingerprints through the database and told him he was being arrested for being in the country illegally after a prior deportation in 2004 after he was caught working with false papers. His US citizen daughter was left alone in the car, guarded by strangers in black uniforms, until her aunt picked her up. \u201cThey didn\u2019t even let him say goodbye to her,\u201d Blanca told us. \u201cShe was so scared.\u201d\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\n\tCalixto and his family had been through some hard times recently, but things seemed to be looking up. In early September 2015, while driving his daughter and now 15-year-old US citizen son Erik home from another child\u2019s birthday party, he swerved his Honda Accord to avoid another car, careening down an embankment and into a tree. The accident severely injured his back and left him bedridden, but more upsetting for him was that his daughter broke her left femur. Making matters worse, he had been drinking with another father at the party. Calixto was convicted for causing serious bodily injury while driving under the influence and sentenced to probation, community service, and a US$6,400 fine.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\n\tIt was a long road to recovery for both Calixto and his daughter. His injuries made continuing to work as a tree cutter impossible. \u201cI spent two months in the hospital and three months in rehab,\u201d he said. \u201cI saw a movie about a boxer who was in the same situation. He did exercises to get better and so I also did that. And I got better.\u201d\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\n\tIt took a year and a half, but when his final court date for the DUI came in February 2017, Calixto had a new job and Emily was walking without a hitch. \u201cShe does have a scar,\u201d he told us. \u201cShe\u2019s not going to want to wear skirts.\u201d Blanca told us that Emily cries and asks when her father is coming back after his deportation. \u201cShe\u2019s very close to him.\u201d\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\n\tIn ICE custody, agents asked Calixto to sign a paper, and he obeyed. He told us that when he realized soon after that he might have signed his own deportation papers, he asked to speak to the officer who had told him to sign. Not possible, the agents said, and a couple of hours later, he was on a bus to the border.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\n\tThat evening in Tijuana, Calixto\u2019s mind raced on what would come next for his family. They were struggling to pay the rent already because of his court fines. What if they were evicted? How would they make ends meet?\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\u003C\/div\u003E\n","settings":null},{"command":"insert","method":"prepend","selector":".js-view-dom-id-blog_live_feed__blog_body_block__305709__en","data":"","settings":null}]
