The child wasn't deported. The mother was, and the mother chose to bring her child with her. The child was not deported.

The father is illegal so if he showed up competition he’d be arrested and sent away too.

Not according to the articles I've read. The "father" (quoting because it's still unconfirmed) was supposedly a citizen. But with reporting as shitty as it is, this could be a bullshit "fact" just like the claim that the 2 year old citizen was "deported".

they were checking in to their immigrant center and going through the legal steps and still got taken away

ICE had final deportation orders... that usually means that the process was pushed to completion. Court case and all.

Okay, "learn the difference" person. What part of the process was skipped here for the mother to be deported?

Define "they". If I was to enter and remain in Mexico illegally I would expect to be deported. I've known many people that have committed very minor offenses and they were jailed for several days then deported. I don't see how this is any different... except that the US gave the mother years.

My mistake, Honduras. Was a few hours since I read the story and haven't scrolled up in a bit. I was writing a post about how if I violated a law in Mexico I'd be imprisoned and deported all the same and that got stuck in my head I suppose.

If the current administration and ICE weren’t in direct violation of the Constitution

ICE's job of removing people who are in the country illegally is not in violation of the Constitution.

OP never even considered that not deporting the mom with a fucking terminally ill child was even an option.

Bullshit, you have no idea what I considered. Have you considered that the child's mother might have options for healthcare in Mexico? That they chose to do this on purpose? Wouldn't you think that the mother would have thought her options through?

Nothing says seething Democrat like calling someone who isn't in the MAGA crowd MAGA...

I didn't miss any point. You lied. I called it out. And now you backpedal to a completely different arguement.

Edit:

@gaja@lemm.ee stated

You’re arguing to deport a terminally ill American citizen out of state.

For one, the 2 year old wasn't terminal, the 4 year old is the one with cancer... and that 4 year old is NOT a citizen.

Secondly. per ICE themselves, the 2 year old is welcome back. They were not deported and were allowed to go with their mother in the interest of the child per their own documents that you failed to read. It's not gaslighting when it's actual facts. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69940863/6/v-m-l-v-harper/

So when I bring that up, now it's changed to "well it's immoral". Which is literally backpedaling.

Mother chose to bring child with her... but somehow that fact is me being callous? Child is citizen and could have stayed. The child was not deported and can return.

I think the mother is stupid for making the choice she did. but none the less this is not Trump's fault. She could have left child here with the "father" if she was so worried about healthcare. She didn't.

Nothing about my comment was a "I'm smarter than anyone" thing. It's me calling out shit reporting for making claims that are completely unsubstantiated.

The child wasn't deported. The mother has legal custody and chose to bring her child home with her. You're literally arguing that we should separate child and mother and give the child to an unproven "father" expressly against the mothers will.
