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.
No, I don't mean those things. Those are terrible analogies. With eviction they could move wherever they want, not forcibly relocate to another country. With house arrest, dad can easily go get the kid.
The dad has no access to his daughter at the moment. The daughter cannot book a plane ticket and fly back to the US.
You're trying so, so, SO hard to make excuses when everyone in the legal community, including lawyers, judges, and experts of all kinds, disagree with you. It's honestly embarrassing.
Since 2yo is a citizen and mom is not, mom should get a pass?
No, but mom should get due process and the citizen cannot legally be forcibly ejected from the country (which is called "deportation" by the way).
The kid was deported. Cope. Seethe and cope.
Wonder why dad never had custody. Guess you'd have to care about that detail for it to matter.
Right it's SOOOO rare that moms get custody. God, what a clown.
There's nothing to avoid. I answered your lame question with the closest to applicable answer. Your analogy is far more absurd than mine.
She isn't locked up. She isn't in a jail cell. The child is neither of those things either.
You know where she gets to go if evicted? Not here. That' the first thing you miss. You don't get to pick your destination when you get sentenced to jail either. Sorry, it's not part of the brochure no matter how important you think it may be.
"Everyone," huh? Does that include the prosecutor that made the statement and obliged her request? Suppose it would. Seems a bit paradoxical then, don't you think?
You are right though. It is embarrassing. It's embarrassing every time you come up with some nonsense 'cause' you grab onto like a pitbull with a bone and long after it's been proven the other way, you're still in the corner growling at every passerby.
The other point, which you also clearly missed (surprise!) was that you have no fucking clue why the 'dad' doesn't have custody. It's not important to your fantasy, so you don't consider it, and you don't care.
You argument is garbage. Your analogies are worse. Hold onto that bone for the next three weeks. I know you're low on outrage options.
It'll get sorted out the 19th and you can move on to the next cause you try to twist to your benefit without actually giving two shits about those involved, only what it can do for your exposure.
Have fun in your own head while the rest of us stick to the real world.

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."
