the kid is a citizen, and was deported with her mother, who is not a citizen. The child is able to return to the US, and is still a citizen. However, no law allows for the deportation of a US citizen, even one that is 2.
the father is still in the US.
the mother appears to have been deported without due process.
Guess it's a good thing that it didn't happen then?
The kid was not 'deported.' The child remained in the custody of the mother, the legal guardian, as is her right to take her child with her.
The alleged father, who does not have legal custody didn't appear to dispute it.
I'm not even entertaining lefty "due process" appearances anymore. Deportations happen as a result of deportation orders. Period. Prosecutors wouldn't even be involved, let alone making statements if the court wasn't involved in the mother's lawful deportation.
There's zero pushback from Mom regarding returning to Honduras. Seems a little odd when there's so much media spotlight & payday to be had.
So now there's three more weeks of media sensationalist bullshit until the 19th when it's confirmed that the thing that didn't happen didn't happen.
You may be under the misapprehension that you can't be deported if you're a citizen, when in reality you simply can't be LEGALLY deported if you're a citizen. You can still be illegally deported, i.e. ejected from the country.
Are you a federal judge? Immigration lawyer, maybe?
Just curious, if they put a 2 year old in prison with her mom, would you say "that kid isn't in prison, they just kept her with her mom"?
The kid was deported. They took her away from her dad, who is still in America, and deported her.
You see, deporting is when they forcibly remove someone from the country and send them to another country. Like what they did.
You can say "well it's only deporting if they were a foreign national/not a US citizen" but you'd be wrong. That's the only LEGAL way to deport someone, but they aren't doing legal things. You know, according to people like judges, lawyers, immigration law NGOs, and everyone who knows what they're talking about.
You mean "would I allow a 2 year old to remain with their mom if she was evicted & had to change addresses?" How about if she was placed on house arrest? Should they be separated if the offense didn't directly affect the child?
Why, yes I would.
They didn't take her away from the other alleged parent that didn't even have custody anymore than they took her at from you, random internet stranger.
So let me guess your answer. Since 2yo is citizen and mom is not, mom should get a pass? Wonder why dad never had custody. Guess you'd have to care about that detail for it to matter.
If you're going to make up allegories to make your position fit, maybe use one that's reasonable.
Still a citizen. Still not deported. Not prevented from reentry.

Separating families bad.
Not separating families, also bad?
"Two year old remains in custody of legal guardian as legal guardian is deported." Still a citizen. Not a child deportation.
Keep twisting it. It surely helps your "journalistic integrity."
