In June 2015, Juliana, who was now thirteen, and her two sisters set off in the back of a truck, covered by a nylon tarp, packed in with other migrants heading north. In a jungle along the border between Guatemala and Mexico, Juliana had an asthma attack and the smugglers almost abandoned her. In Washington, officials at DHS and the White House were trying to find ways to dissuade migrants like Juliana from making the trip.
