The three daughters of the Gonzalez couple, who were all born and raised in California, have been left in shock over their parents' deportation.

One of their daughters, Stephanie Gonzalez, wrote on a GoFundMe page for her family, "For nearly four decades, they have built a life here - raising three daughters, giving back to their community, and recently welcoming their first grandchild. Now, they are being treated as criminals."

Last month, during their routine check in at an immigration court in Santa Ana, the couple were met with a different outcome than the one they have been witnessing since 2000. This time, the couple were arrested and handcuffed, put in federal custody, where they had to spend three weeks before being deported to Columbia, a CNN report said.
