Jane St: Family Friend

Brampton Dept: I waited for her, but she never came back, recalled the 16-year-old girl. Ever since their refugee claim was rejected in 2008, she and her mother, Yolanda Soto Jurando, had been on the move every six months to avoid immigration enforcement, according to The Star. Soto, a hotel cleaner from Mexico, had been picked up at dawn at a friend s house near Jane St. and Lawrence Ave. as she waited for a ride to a job site in Brampton and as always, Leonor Mongoy Soto got home from school, did her homework and waited for her mom to get home from work. That evening her mother eventually called from the Rexdale detention centre, instructing her daughter to leave the apartment immediately and move in with a family friend. As reported in the news.
