A mom in Michigan recently did just that and now faces deportation from the United States.

Michigan Mom Now Facing Deportation After Wrong Turn

Sarahi, a mother of two, recently went on a Costco trip and accidentally selected a location in Windsor, Canada.

She crossed the border into Canada without any issues and completed her shopping.

However, when attempting to reenter the United States with her 1-year-old and 5-year-old daughters—both U.S. citizens—she encountered difficulties.

Sarahi is not legally a U.S. citizen and was detained for six days.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued a statement regarding the incident.

"When individuals violate immigration laws, their choices make them subject to detention and removal. In this case, an illegal alien was encountered at the Detroit Ambassador Bridge after driving into Canada without travel documents. She admitted to unlawfully entering the U.S. in 2018. Per policy, CBP worked to find a suitable guardian for her U.S. citizen children; however, she initially chose to keep them with her, prolonging the detention period. Once the children were placed with a guardian, she was transferred to ICE."

Will She Be Deported

It doesn't look to good for Sarahi, she has been transferred into Ice custody and has a court date next month which could end up with her being deported back to Guatemala.
