Last week, a 4-year-old boy and his 7-year-old sister, both U.S. citizens, were deported to Honduras with their mother amidst the Trump administration's intensified immigration policies. Their case exemplifies the growing number of American citizens affected by crackdowns, as another U.S. citizen child, a 2-year-old girl, was also sent back with her undocumented mother. Advocates criticized the lack of options to leave children in the U.S., expressing alarm at the deportations without due process, especially given the boy's severe medical condition and the mother's pregnancy.
“The children and their mother were put on a flight to Honduras, the same day another child with U.S. citizenship was sent to that country.”
“Lawyers for both families said the mothers were not given an option to leave their children in the United States before they were deported.”
