Many have lived in the U.S. for the majority of their lives and will be reunited with their families in the country following their release, avoiding deportation, according to a statement from Hochul’s office. This followed similar incidents that resulted in Smalls' abuser “choking and assaulting her,” leaving Smalls to fear for her life, according to Hochul's office.
