Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, an 11-year-old girl from Texas, tragically took her own life after enduring relentless bullying from classmates who threatened to report her family to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Her mother, Marbella Carranza, told Univision that she had hoped for a miracle, but her daughter couldn’t recover from the emotional toll.

«My daughter will always live on for me, and I will always love her,» said her grieving mother.

Jocelynn had been receiving support from a school counselor several times a week due to the bullying.

However, the school never notified her family about the severity of the situation Jocelynn Rojo Carranza was facing.

This heartbreaking incident comes amid the intensification of deportation efforts under former President Donald Trump’s administration.

The government has ramped up mass deportations targeting undocumented immigrants, creating a climate of fear for many families.

Jocelynn’s father, Ernesto Alonso Rojo, turned to GoFundMe for help while his daughter was fighting for her life.

«Please help me with my daughter Jocelynn. God bless you,» he wrote on the fundraising platform.

The tragedy has sparked a wave of outrage on social media, with users expressing their sorrow and demanding justice for the young girl.

Her mother is now working with investigators and school officials to uncover the truth behind what happened and ensure accountability.

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza’s death has reignited a broader conversation about the devastating effects of bullying and how immigration policies can contribute to fear and trauma among minors.
