Jessica asserts that while on the visit, federal agents, who were investigation her brother, stopped and harassed her while she was with her children, by threatening her.  She says one agent threatened her and her family, “I have the power to put you and your family in jail.”

Nonetheless, she was not so frighten as to cut her trip short and in fact stayed in California for another month at which time she and her children returned to Mexico.
