About 15 years ago, she began offering to be a legal guardian to immigrant children. About 22 children of deported parents have lived in her house temporarily since then. More than 2,000 children have been under her guardianship, although some are now adults. Sandigo said she has assisted hundreds of those children.“I feel empathy for them, solidarity, love for God. I want to do something,” she said.

Since Feb. 3, the Trump administration ended two federal programs that together allowed more 700,000 Venezuelans to live and work legally in the U.S. It’s all anyone discusses in Doral, Florida, the largest Venezuelan community in the United States. Hundreds of thousands of people dread what could face them if lawsuits against the government fail. They would have to remain illegally at the risk of being deported or return home, an unlikely route given the political and economic turmoil in Venezuela. A federal judge ordered last month that temporary protected status would stand until a legal challenge’s next stage in court. At least 350,000 Venezuelans were temporarily spared becoming illegal.Maria, a Venezuelan immigrant who lives with her U.S. citizen husband and two daughters who have Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, vacuums a rug as the family organizes and packs for their upcoming move into a larger and nicer apartment, April 5, 2025, in Doral, Fla.

The destruction of Atsu Godslove Afeli’s home began gradually. But a month ago, the last of the building collapsed, leaving him, his four children and his brother with nowhere to sleep but a fuel station behind their destroyed home.Afeli said he never thought it could happen because “the distance from our house to the seashore was very long and it (was) hard to believe that the sea could reach this place.” In recent months, however, he became sad, depressed and frustrated as the waves got closer and finally toppled his home.

“I hope we can obtain sea defenses so we can reclaim our land,” he said. “We need help to start our lives over again.”Waves are visible through a window of Atsu Godslove Afeli’s room, which was destroyed by coastal erosion in Avegadzi, Ghana, Wednesday, March 5, 2025 (AP Photo/Misper Apawu)
