Samuel Gonzalez Terrones, 21, died by suicide at a railroad crossing in San Bernardino County two months after his mother, Minerva Terrones Dominguez, 54, was detained by ICE agents near a grocery store. After being diagnosed with depression and schizophrenia in May, Samuel began therapy and medication, but relied heavily on his mother to help him through mental health crises while his siblings and father worked extra shifts to pay for an immigration lawyer. His sister, Sari Gonzalez, 32, said their mother was the only one able to calm him during difficult moments while the rest of the family was at work or school. Attorney Arturo Burga had been pursuing a legal pathway called cancellation of removal, arguing Minerva's deportation would cause extreme hardship to Samuel, but the family never filed the paperwork before his death. In a note left before he died, Samuel wrote, "To the ICE agent who took away my mother: I hope it was worth it. I can't handle anymore injustices in this world." His family described him as a caring, generous person who loved video games, chocolate conchas, and dreamed of becoming a graphic designer.
