Hassan spoke of the heartbreaking sacrifices the couple took during this process, including not being able to start a family.
“It’s not just the kids, right? It’s the memories we don’t make. It’s the vacations we don’t take. It’s the life we don’t get to live together…Thousands of dollars in ticket costs, I have to do that.” “I run two households. It’s not cheap, and I don’t get any sympathy when I write letters to congressmen and senators and people in power.”
When asked by anchor Dana Perino who the congressman was, Hassan mentioned Rep. Jim McGovern (Massachusetts).

Darden-Coulter came to California in 1989 with a resident alien card and became a U.S. citizen in February 1996, but said the process required time, money and resources.
“I’m so angry, upset, sad and disappointed that something like this could happen in America,” she said. “I was married to an American soldier, and I had to fill out a lot of paperwork, pay a lot of money, and spend hours filling out paperwork to come with him.”
Darden-Coulter’s life changed forever in July 2012 when her son Dominic was killed in a motorcycle accident caused by an illegal driver on probation in California. The Guatemalan immigrant was deported in 2014 after a long list of criminal charges, including armed robbery and two counts of drunk driving.
“I’ve been on the right path. All that’s left of my family is my son Dominic and his ashes,” Darden Coulter said. “People need to speak up and start speaking out because this issue now affects everyone, no matter where you live in the United States, and it doesn’t matter where you live. , this has to stop, and our government really needs to get this together.
“I don’t want to hear about other angel families. I don’t want to hear other angel mothers crying and telling me their stories.”
