On September 11, 2006, Enrique and Lourdes appeared on one of Spanish television's top rated shows, Don Francisco Presenta, before a live audience. Lourdes told Don Francisco that with her son now by her side, what she missed desperately was her daughter. She hadn't seen Belky for seventeen years, since she was a little girl. Unbeknownst to Lourdes or Enrique, Don Francisco had obtained a visa for Belky to come to the U.S. for a surprise reunion on the show. Lourdes shrieked with joy when she saw her daughter. "Hija, te vinistes. Daughter, you're here." Pictured from left to right: Lourdes, Don Francisco, Belky, and Enrique. [Credit: Sonia Nazario]

Enrique holds his nearly nine month old son, Daniel Enrique
Enrique holds his nearly nine month old son, Daniel Enrique, for the first time in March 2013 after being released from jail. Enrique had been held for fourteen months in a Florida jail while he fought his deportation order. The jail only allowed Enrique to view visitors through a video screen, not in person. During visits by his family to the jail, Enrique’s arms ached to hold his son. [Family photos]
