[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The crux of this story is that this particular deportation--like so many others we have already read about--appeared to be rushed and did not follow a "meaningful process" (judge's words). The judge--by all accounts a pro-Trump judge who has come through for Trump in the past--was concerned enough about the lack of a "meaningful process" that he scheduled a hearing for May 16 to follow up on this matter. Sounds like another "oopsie it's too late" removal.

The child can come back since she is a citizen. Why do you all keep repeating lies? [/quote]

I'm the pp you're responding to. Where's the lie? I just summarized the story that the PP linked. The judge was concerned and scheduled a hearing due to what the judge perceived as a lack of a "meaningful process." Where's the lie?[/quote]

The lie is where you said "Sounds like another "oopsie it's too late" removal." The child went with her mother as the mother requested. She is a US citizen and can return to the US the same as any other citizen if her mother allows it. The mother can arrange for a US citizen guardian to escort her and put her on a plane back to the US today if she wanted to. Why wait until the hearing in May?

The use of "sounds like" is not a lie, it's an opinion. That opinion is based on this quoted section of the article, which gives the impression that the child and mother were taken out of the US before the judge had the opportunity to talk to the mother directly about whether she really wanted to take the child to Honduras with her. But apparently you know more than the judge--based on your years of experience as a judge.

[quote]But the Louisiana case is the latest concern by the courts that the Trump administration’s rush to carry out deportations is violating due process rights — in this case, the rights of a U.S. citizen child. Doughty said he attempted to investigate the emergency matter himself on Friday, seeking to get V.M.L.’s mother on the phone to determine whether ICE’s representation about her desire to bring V.M.L. to Honduras was accurate. The judge said he was “independently aware” that the plane he believed was carrying the family was already “above the Gulf of America.”[/quote][/quote]

Play this out. Imagine if ICE had kept the child with the unrelated guardian after the dad failed to appeared as requested. Can you imagine the headlines? “Trump rips toddler from mother!  The monster!”

The judge didn’t need to question this woman. She knew she was illegal and subject to deportation. Her child being American doesn’t make her a citizen.

She is an adult and made her choice to keep the child with her - I would have done the same.[/quote]

Goes to show that Trump doesn't give a shit about family values.  He is tearing families apart.[/quote]
