Correct a US citizen cannot be deported... No US citizen was deported by the US government. A mother was allowed to take her child with her. |
Exiled is the term you’re looking for. US citizens can be exiled. |
This is an evil thing to assume. The lawyers and family here were unable to communicate with the mother while in detention. The physicians treating the child were unable to communicate with the family in detention who was with the child with stage 4 cancer. You're so protective of Trump and willing to cast any doubt in anything he does. It's really pathetic and cult-like mentality. You should demand answers and question policies. If not, this isn't a healthy democracy. I think we can all agree that it was objectively unethical to deport a US citizen child with cancer. They could have at least made sure the child had medication or to see if the children did have US citizen relatives to stay with, which the 2 year old did and the father was trying to transfer guardianship to her but the administration fast tracked the deportation before the court could intervene. These are real people, real children, some of whom are US Citizens and the children are being deported without a hearing and without medication they need to survive. When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. You shall love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. - Leviticus 19:33 |

I am not "assuming" anything. If SHE followed the law, she would have stayed in her own country, and none of this would have happened. All I did was change one word in the statement I was replying to. Why does she get a pass on following laws? |
Look. I am not MAGA at all, but people would be shouting it from the rooftops if they kept the child here without their mother. What should they have done - put the kid in state custody and had the state handle the continued medical care, etc.?
I just don’t see a good solution to any of these cases. Either the child goes with the custodial parent (as is the custodial parent’s right) or the child stays here and is ‘taken away’ from the parent. |
Well since they deported the 4 year old with cancer without his medication, I guess they opted for killing the child as the “humane” route. |
Except the child can come back today if the mother wanted that. |
This is a sad case but who is paying for the treatment? Taxpayer funded Medicaid I assume? Meanwhile, hardworking US citizens are losing their life savings due to medical bankruptcy. I would like to see the same health care generosity extended to all US citizens. |
Poor US citizens have access to Medicaid, just like this 4 year old. Sorry your value system is so poor that you think the US has money for tax cuts for billionaires but not to save the lives of poor American children. |
Like they are on this thread from the weekend? https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1271039.page So which way do you want it? |
You have no idea what I think. I don't think that there should be cuts for billionaires. I also don't think we should have birthright citizenship because it has been completely abused. These are anchor babies and you know it. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/birthright-citizenship-regulations-europe |
How do they know that if no family members or legal or medical teams were able to even communicate with her while they were in detention? |
+1 There was no due process as required. The President of Honduras has probably been told to keep that woman and her child quiet and away from anyone that can help her and her child (lawyers, family, friends). If this was all done properly-why rush through and kick our a 4 year old with cancer? |
As far as I'm aware there are phones in Honduras. If the mother's attorneys here could not speak with her now, every media outlet would be running the headline that she has been disappeared. |
