The U.S. government has not granted her permission to
cross the border for the service, relatives said.
``We hope that she can come, that they allow her to come,''
said Jesus Guillen's 14-year-old daughter, Zorayda. U.S. Customs and Border Protection tweeted condolences to
Guillen's family Monday, calling him ``a rescue volunteer who
died during Hurricane Harvey'' and promising to allow
Guillen's mother to cross the border to attend his funeral. Jesus Guillen said he hopes the DACA program will not be
dismantled.
``It gives people like my brother opportunities to be
better, to have strength and believe in themselves and become
what they want to be,'' he said.
