After 18 years living in Arizona, he’s trying to build a new life in Nogales, Sonora, in Mexico, after being deported just a few weeks ago. The border city is hundreds of miles from his family elsewhere in Mexico, and on the other side of the border wall from his 11-year-old daughter in Phoenix. “It’s like a life between places,” Mireles said from the Kino Border Initiative migrant shelter. “That’s a hard thing.” The 48-year-old is one of many longtime residents of the United States, and of Arizona, who find themselves adjusting to a new life after deportation. For some people, that means learning to live in a faraway country. But for others, that new life is just on the other side of the border, in Mexican border cities like Nogales. https://buff.ly/ncxtaqI Explore content categories
