Missouri ‘Soccer Mom’ Facing Deportation Released from Custody

Beloved Soccer Mom Detained by ICE Returns Home Amid Community Support

Kennett, MO – The small farming town of Kennett is rejoicing after Carol Mayorga, a cherished local figure and mother of three, was recently released from immigration detention. Mayorga, 21 years a resident of the U.S., was arrested on April 30 by federal immigration officers during what she believed was a routine appointment in St. Louis. Known for her work ethic and involvement in the local Catholic church, her arrest ignited community outrage as residents mobilized to advocate for her immediate release.

Her attorney, Raymond Bolourtchi, confirmed that she has been granted a temporary reprieve under the Deferred Enforced Departure program, allowing her to remain in the U.S. for the time being. "Today our hearts are overflowing," expressed Liridona Ramadani, owner of John’s Waffle & Pancake House, where Mayorga worked. Community members raised nearly $20,000 through fundraising efforts, including a dedicated “Carol Day” event.

Mayorga, who has lived under a deportation order for over a decade without being removed, now faces an uncertain future. Support from local leaders, a grassroots campaign, and even musician Sheryl Crow underscored the town’s unity in standing with Mayorga against the backdrop of an increasingly restrictive immigration policy.

As they welcomed her home, locals were reminded of the power of compassion. "This nation was founded on love and humanity," said Bolourtchi, reflecting on the community’s resolve. Though the fight for her permanent status continues, for now, the joy of family reunification prevails.
