In the case of State v. Maria, the Nebraska Supreme Court considered the termination of parental rights in which an undocumented immigrant mother was denied language access in the hospital. In a unanimous decision, that Nebraska Supreme Court returned the two children to their Guatemalan mother who had been deported and her parental rights terminated by the state ruling that undocumented, detained and deported immigrant parents have the constitutional right to care for, have custody of, and control over their children.
