LONG BEACH, Calif.—The day after Agnes Gibboney learned that her son’s murderer would be released from jail and immediately deported back to Mexico, she visited her son’s grave and the hospital where he was born. She left more than two dozen roses at his headstone and dropped a few dozen more into the sea at a beach that the two of them used to visit.
Gibboney is a member of Angel Families, a group of family members of those who have been killed by illegal immigrants. Her only son, Ronald Da Silva, was standing with a friend in his driveway on April 26, 2002, when he was shot and killed by Luis Humberto Gonzalez, a Mexican national who was in the country illegally.
