The Cruelty Is the Point: Deportation Edition

[Anonymous]

In a new low, the Trump administration deported a Cuban woman who is married to a US citizen--the woman has an infant daughter she is still breastfeeding. Cue the MAGA trolls on this forum who will no doubt say: "I voted for this!"

The woman was detained at her check-in appointment with ICE in a Tampa office. She was apparently trying to go through the required steps to adjust her legal status. A family lawyer and a US Rep. tried to intervene but were unsuccessful.

Her deportation has been so sudden and traumatic for their infant daughter, still breastfeeding and with ongoing health issues, that her grandmother was taking her to the hospital, he said in a phone interview on Friday. “The baby is distressed and does not want to eat,” Valle said. “Imagine, they ripped the child from her mother’s arms at the immigration office; the cries of that woman in there could be heard back in Cuba,” he said, speaking of his wife’s desperation at being separated from her daughter.

It’s really difficult for Cubans to be here illegally.

More info on the breastfeeding mom. Surely ICE has more urgent targets for deportation than breastfeeding mothers who are wives of US citizens and who are already in the process of obtaining legal status in the US.

1. Her US citizen husband had filed an I-130 form (Petition for Alien Relative) on her behalf. [The I-130 is the initial step in the family-based immigration process. It proves the relationship between the U.S. citizen or permanent resident (the sponsor) and the foreign national (the beneficiary) who wants to immigrate.]

2. She was in the process of adjusting her status through the Cuban Adjustment Act. [The Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA) is a U.S. federal law that allows Cuban natives and citizens to adjust their status to lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders) after being physically present in the United States for at least one year. It was enacted in 1966 to facilitate the immigration of Cubans seeking refuge from political and economic instability in their home country. The Act also provides for the adjustment of status for the spouses and children of qualifying Cuban immigrants, regardless of their own citizenship.]

She had ample time to self-deport with her baby attached to her breast.

According to liberals, enforcing the law is cruelty. The women shouldn’t have broken the law by entering the country illegally, and she would have never put herself in that position. According to liberals, you are now entitled to break the law without consequences if they consider you a “sympathetic victim.”

Why should she self-deport? She was in the process of becoming a US citizen. Her husband is a US citizen.
