When he was 26, Robin was found in possession of marijuana and sentenced to prison. After a year, he was released directly into ICE custody and was deported to Mexico. Having no known family or ties to Mexico, Robin made efforts to return to the U.S. to be with his family. Eventually, Robin was arrested and, convicted of illegal re-entry, was deported back to Mexico.
Robin is married to a U.S. citizen and together they have a 7-year-old daughter, both of whom live separated from Robin in Texas. He is only able to see them on the weekends. Robin has established a successful restaurant business, and uses this income to support his family. He maintains a close relationship with his family and looks forward to the day he can be reunited with his wife, daughter, and adoptive mother in the U.S.
