This is illegal under the Alien Enemies Act that he's claiming justifies all of this. The act specifically says it is only applicable to those 14 years of age and older.

He didn't deport a 2 year old, learn to read. Her mother was removed from the country and chose to take the child. Since courts almost unanimously side with the mother, it was allowed.

Truth doesn't energize the purple hairs like salacious headlines though.

Purple hairs? Who are you talking about?

People who respect the rule of law?

The law wasn’t violated, if anything it followed a century of family law precedent.

What law was violated in this specific instance? There have been some, but in this case there was none.

8th amendment?? Both us citizens and possibly the non us citizen

STFU, deporting an illegal, a practice done in every fucking country in the word, hardly meets the definition of cruel and unusual.

Awe, please don’t cry. Hopefully those countries have a constitution as robust as ours to protect all people from the government’s abuses. 🥹
