[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The judge in this case is pro Trump. The concern is due process. It's a valid concern but clearly too nuanced for many people too consumed by hatred for immigrants to care about silly things like the law.[/quote]

Due process? The child wasn’t deported. She was taken back to Honduras at her mother’s request. The child can return if that is the mother’s wish. There is nothing stopping her from sending the child back to the US. [/quote]

"A federal judge in Louisiana expressed concern on Friday that the Trump administration had deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras “with no meaningful process” and against the wishes of her father. . . . Asserting that “it is illegal and unconstitutional to deport” a U.S. citizen, Judge Doughty set a hearing for May 16 to explore his “strong suspicion that the government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process.”"

Politico on the judge:
[quote]Doughty is based in Monroe, Louisiana, about 100 miles north of the staging facility in Alexandria where lawyers who filed the petition said they believed the mother and her daughters were being held prior to their deportation.

Doughty’s sharp criticism of the Trump administration is particularly notable because he issued a series of major decisions in favor of Trump and his allies in recent years, most notably backing conservatives in legal challenges to the Biden administration’s efforts to rein in what it claimed was misinformation on social media platforms about vaccines and certain politically charged topics.

Indeed, some conservatives considered Doughty so likely to be in their camp that they filed lawsuits in his judicial division in order to have a strong chance the cases would be assigned to him.

Even as Doughty made clear that he was disturbed by the government’s actions, in his order Friday the judge seemed to tip his hat to the president, adopting the term “Gulf of America” for the body of water traditionally known as the Gulf of Mexico.

The Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to requests for comment.[/quote][/quote]
