(CNN) A US Army officer got a call he was dreading on Thursday. His mom had been deported to Mexico. "I feel betrayed, to be honest," 2nd Lt. Gibram Cruz told CNN affiliate KSWB . Cruz and his family had been trying for months to convince officials to let his mother, Rocio Rebollar Gomez, remain in the United States. Rocio Rebollar Gomez hugged her 30-year-old son 2nd Lt. Gibram Cruz after he arrived at San Diego International Airport on December 18.
