Nervous and stressed, Balderas said he thought constantly about the safety of his family throughout Monday's events and even considered writing a letter to his mother.
Balderas was released on Monday, pending an immigration hearing July 6. The rising sophomore, who eventually took a flight to Boston on Wednesday, chose not to return home and did not tell his mother about the incident.
"I don't want her to worry about it," Balderas said.
Balderas, an undocumented student, had presented his Harvard identification and a consular card from the Mexican government upon misplacing his Mexican passport and now faces the possibility of deportation to Mexico.
Since Monday, Balderas has slowly become more vocal about his status as an undocumented student and has raised awareness for the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, which would provide undocumented youth with a six-year-long path to citizenship under certain conditions.
