She is a foreigner, the government has expelled her and her baby because they were imprisoned, but two children were left in Argentina and request to be able to return there.

Although he wanders freely through the streets of Lima, Peru, Vanessa Gómez Cave she is imprisoned, trapped in her country of origin. This 33-year-old nurse, who was expelled two months ago for a crime whose sentence was served in the prisons of ArgentinaHe can not see two of his three children since the day he Federal Police He took her from home to La Plata with her baby "to sign papers", without telling him that in reality, it was never to come back, to put them in a plane and take them out of the country. Since last February, her children, aged 6 and 14, have been left without their mothers. "They took me to Ezeiza airport, disappointed, I needed to get back, my kids miss me a lot" the woman tells Infobae, begging.

Vanessa aspires to the routine of her daily life. "I had my life, we got up, we took care of them, we went to study together. We left at age 7, my daughter went to school, my sisters took my son to the garden and my baby left him with a cousin. I went back to the kitchen, my kids came back, my baby and I went for lunch then I went to work to look after a grandmother in a private house. I had my job and on weekends I made replacements, I worked Monday to Friday in the afternoon, they did not pay me much but I was able to support my children"Says Vanessa, sitting in the room in the northern part of the Peruvian capital, which her brother rents to live with his family, and who now includes it:" He gave me his son's bed so that we could to sleep, I am embarrbaded because he's driving a taxi and he's now having to keep us ours. "

Gómez Cave He was born in Peru and came to live in Buenos Aires 15 years ago.. The Ministries of the Interior and Security forced her to leave her home in La Plata and live with her mother, sisters and children born in Argentina. He was not even allowed to say goodbye.

The order to expel him from the country was based on a criminal conviction, for which Vanessa I had served a sentence in 2014. "The National Directorate of Migration must overturn this decision, which violates the rights of the child recognized by national and international law, and reunite Vanessa with his children," he said a few days ago. from a statement by Amnesty International.

The woman was arrested at the airport of Ezeiza in 2011 while she was trying to enter cocaine. I had been hired as "mule" for a clan narco and was discovered by the airport security police (PSA). Later, in an abridged trial, she was sentenced to four years in prison.

A year and a half after entering Ezeiza prison, Vanessa was left behind pregnant of Michael, his youngest son, and received the benefit of house arrest to be with him. In 2014, he regained his freedom. Gómez Cueva has reached the theoretical goal of the penal system: he reintegrated into society quickly

He started the procedures to get citizenship, he started studying, She finished her nursing career and got a job taking care of the elderly. This is something he has always enjoyed since the age of 15 and cares for a family member with health problems in Lima.

Although the sentence was completed, the National Directorate of Migration, under the supervision of the Ministry of the Interior, activated at the end of 2015 the process of expulsion of the woman to have a conviction.

Vanessa tried to defend herself, advised by the Migrants Committee of the Office of the National Ombudsman. But then he gave up his defense and found himself without a lawyer. Above, the Federal Tribunal of Litigation and Administrative No. 5, whose owner is María Alejandra BiottiI should have badigned him an official defense and he did not do it.

Without a lawyer to advise her, Gómez Cueva never appealed the deportation and expulsion was firm. But the decision was based on an error. The woman was on file as if she had committed a crime of prostitution, pimping or trafficking. His application to stay in the country was recorded not by the presence of his three Argentinian children, but by a supposed "national spouse" who existed

In 2016, the judge informed Vanessa of her deportation to a house where she was I did not live anymore. Logically, the woman did not answer, but the court said that it was not considered an anomalyThey never tried to confirm that she knew her or had contacted her, even though they had her phone number and her mail.

Juan Carli, director of Permanence of migrations, he considered that Vanessa was notified and activated her deportation, which occurred at least with a doubt on February 1, when Two federal police officers knocked on the door of his house in the Altos district of San Lorenzo de La Plata.

"I left my house and I'm not home anymore"Sound Gómez Cueva. She can not help but remember the image of her middle child, who was 5 years old at the time, looking at her from the sidewalk when she left the house to never come back.

But nobody knew it until a few hours later. Until then, federal agents told the woman to remain calm, that it was a procedure, that she did not need to take the baby because within a few hours they would come back. She asked them to take the baby because she needed to badfeed, and they said yes.

But the federal truck did not go to Migraciones, but to a police station in Villa Lugano, where they announced that they were bringing a "fugitive" and an office where a doctor had examined him with his son. A few hours later, mother and Nene were locked in a cell in Ezeiza, where they stayed for three days until February 4, when they were boarded for Lima. .

From his house in La Plata, believing that I would go back, Vanessa came out with a backpack where she had two layers, a bottle and a medicine that your baby took at the time. He arrived in Peru, where he was received by his brother, thanks to the fact that their mother told him.

En route from his home in Lugano, Gómez Cueva informed his lawyer, Juan Villanueva, that he had contacted in December to regularize his situation because I wanted to get the DNI complete a nursing development course.

"The policemen who were taking me insisted that I do not talk to a lawyer, that they were shanties, that they would take money from me, that I sign the papers and that they come back. They wanted to deceive me, they knew that they were going to deport me"Vanessa protests.

Villanueva filed amparo appeals to prevent him from traveling to Peru, but he failed. "How can one then explain that such a brutal sentence is imposed on a mother and her 3 minor children?because of an earlier, already fulfilled and exhausted belief and resocialization that should be understood as a paradigm of the effect of deprivation of liberty? ", asks Vanessa's defender.

"I never imagined that they would expel me, I have my sisters, my mother, my nephews, I have my life there in Argentina. At the office of the mediator, they told me that they could not send me back to have my children and that I remained calm, "he said. Infobae Gomez Cave of Peru.

"I have my own house there, I have all my belongings, my children have their school, their friends, in an instant it was in my head to bring my children, because I despair of not being with thembut we decided to try to solve it, my daughter does not want to leave school, she has her life, it's a total change, how can i do if my stuff is there, my house, i have everything thereVanessa wonders between tears.

Your six year old son has a deep depression. He started to behave badly at school, he stopped going to play football at the neighborhood club and she thinks her mother has abandoned her. "He tells me that I left with his younger brother, he does not understand yet because he is small and it breaks my heart, I need to see him and kiss him"he says.

In one of his presentations to the judge, Villanueva emphasized in this case "are discussed issues relating to the Impact of human rights, the dignity of people, the effective protection of women's rights, the rights of migrant workers, the right to full protection of the family and, in particular, the best interests of the child, as well as the interpretation and the validity of the constitutional norms and international treaties Argentine State ".

The National Constitution, the Migration Act and the Convention on the Rights of the Child argue that the family is united and in the country of birth of children.

"Although the personal and family circumstances of the Peruvian citizen have been taken into account, the deportation process has had to be continued since the law provides that the crime of drug trafficking can not be provided by the Ministry of Justice. the Interior nor by Migrations, habeas corpus before the criminal justice, request which was rejected in duplicate, thus ratifying its exit from the country ", explain to Infobae the sources of the migrations.

Vanessa Feels trapped outside of Argentina. "For me, it's an injustice, they did not even let my son with his aunts." This baby did not deserve to cross all that, it was very unfair, very cruel. He is from Argentina and is supposed to take care of the children's rights, which confines him thus to my son, in a dungeon of Lugano, who undresses him with the medical examiner, it was very violent.. And since they were policemen, I had to obey, "he protests.

"As a mother, as an adult, we can go through that, I can cope with it, even if I made a mistake and paid the penalty. I started studying and I even received a medal of honor for the effort, but the kids do not deserve it."The woman is angry, she says that one of her sisters had replaced her at work and had been fired when the bosses had heard about Vanessa's problem.

"When they take me out of the country, I tell one of my sisters to replace me, she had confidence in her, we never missed anything, we did not do anything, the man went on a trip and we left the keys, when they saw me on TV because of my case The first thing they did was tell him that she was not going. Finally, the problem was with me, but they left her without work. Fortunately, they came to pay him the month and they have this money for my children, "he says.

Gómez Cueva does not feel resentment, even though he admits that the inside of his body corrodes with an ugly feeling. "With everything I see I feel that there is a particular conflict with strangers and I know that I am not the only casethere are other people married to Argentines, who have a virgin job and who are deceived and taken from the same country, "he warns.

"In recent years, Argentina has implemented a migration policy that restricts the rights of migrants and encourages discrimination.The maximum point of gravity is the separation of a mother from her children, Vanessa must be in Argentina with his children ", Mariela Belski, Executive Director of Amnesty International Argentina.

"Although the administrative and judicial resources are complete, Migrations has received a presentation from its lawyers and is considering it with the aim of taking a resolution and informing it," said the sources of this address from the government.

But time pbades. And Vanessa does not stop recreating the image of her son at the door of his house in La Plata, who watches her as she leaves in a patrol car. It's a permanent inner hell. A nightmare that will only disappear the day you take it in your arms. "I said later I come & # 39; and he's still waiting for me. I can not believe it, I miss it so much", he admits, and his words liquefy in tears.
