Daniel Paz fled Honduras in 2018 with his wife and two children after gunmen tried to kill him for being politically active. 
After crossing the U.S.-Mexico border near El Paso, Border Patrol agents separated him and his daughter, Angie, then 7 years old. They remained separated for 50 days until they were reunited.
Today, the family lives in Ohio. Three years later, Angie still experiences traumatic symptoms from the separation. She has nightmares where she loses her parents at a mall and bangs her bedroom wall in her sleep.
The smell of a hospital lobby or certain Little Tree car scents transport her to her shelter and spark anxiety attacks.
The Paz family allowed @MrRJervis and USA TODAY photographer @jakoscielniak to spend some time with them and witness firsthand the challenges they still face.
