A former DACA recipient returned home to the US this week after six months stranded in Mexico.
Jaime Avalos was able to secure humanitarian parole after a disaster immigration interview last year.
"The fight is not over," Avalos' wife told Insider. "But we can fight it together now."

Nearly six months to the day since he last stepped foot in the United States, Jaime Avalos received a hero's welcome at the Southern border this week where his young wife and infant son were among a cadre of supporters anxiously awaiting his return.
