Where have you been? Trump has been deporting literally thousands of criminals. He's not "focusing" on a pediatric cancer patient (he actually didn't even focus on her at all - just her parents). If he happens to find someone other than a criminal, he will deport them too. Anyone who is here illegally is fair game.

Zero proof that who they are deporting is a criminal. Saying it over and over again with zero evidence does not make it true.

If they are not here legally, they are a criminal by definition. The crime is being here illegally. It’s not a hard concept

In this country we don’t illegally detain the minor children of criminals. I’m sorry that’s news for you.

So you want to make family separation great again? Because that is the choice.

Says who? You? Your imaginary friend? Because here in the real world humanitarian parole exists, and the choice is not using it.

The parents put the child in this position. Be mad at them.

Sorry no I’m not going to be angry at the parents of a child with brain cancer. I’m going to be mad at the CBP agent who acted illegally, the prolonged detention of an American citizen, and all the self righteous posters who are salivating over the suffering of a sick child.

Well. It’s not their “fault” but having a US Citzen child is not and should not be a way for those without legal status to remain in the US. So, they must go.

ie, "it's their fault" she has to go.

This is very sad but rue girl was not deported. Her parents chose to bring her with them. Terrible choices but the alternative would be to allow them to stay due to the sick child and that’s not a legal basis to be here.

But it’s the right thing to do. The humanitarian thing is would be to allow mom and daughter to stay so that the child has a fighting chance.

The child is a citizen and can ride/walk back across the border with an adult family member or family friend and access care any time. Nothing is stopping that from happening. The only thing stopping her from getting this urgent medical care in the US is the parents using this as leverage to get themselves back into the country. That is what this is really about.

They should also check into healthcare in Mexico. It would be heartless for Mexico to deny this child healthcare.

How often have you travelled internationally with an unrelated child? How often have you consented to critical medical care on their behalf?

The child was being treated in Houston at Texas Children's Hospital.Each time they traveled from the Rio Grande Valley to Houston, they went through a checkpoint where they presente a letter from the hospital explaining the child's need for care. She developed symptoms on Feb 3 and the family headed to the hospital. Sara, the child with the cancer, wears a leg brace. Her parents have a nasal spray to give her if she has a seizure (this is probably nasal valium, something I have heard about because I have a niece with epilepsy and frequent seizures).

They had always been let through the checkpoint until that day. They were taken into custody and some of their treatment by officers was appalling--including taking away the emergency seizure nasal medication and locking it up, where the next shift could ot find it. (Their son, who has acne, was told by one officer he needed to masturbate more.)

Once in Mexico, Mexican authorities arranged for taxi transportation to a secure shelter to protect them from kidnappers who infest the area; according to the complaint, US citizens (two of the children) are at particular risk of kidnapping. They saw bodies in the streets in the area near the shelter.

https://www.txcivilrights.org/_files/ugd/9fea3a_ae52f88df10742f99362e3c14b452213.pdf

I am the pp who posted this.
It is discouraging how many people who support Trump's immigration policies focused only on the family's status vis a vis those policies and NOT how those policies were carried out.
Whatever your position about immigration and people without legal status, do you or do you NOT think that representatives of the US govt should conduct themselves professionally and treat people with respect? Do you not think they should demonstrate concern for medical problems affecting US children?--because they did not even do that.

So, since you couldn't be bothered, I am posting some of the complaint with bolded statements.


The family had previously passed through this checkpoint without
incident several times when taking Sara to appointments at Texas Children’s. Each time, the family
showed CBP officers a letter from Texas Children’s staff explaining that Sara needed care at the
hospital.
The family arrived at the Sarita Checkpoint and presented the letter. The letter explained that Sara
is a patient at the hospital “due to treatment for a brain tumor” and that because of “the grave
nature and complexity of her disease,” it is “necessary” that Sara “continue to be followed closely
by the treatment team at Texas Children’s Hospital.”10 The letter requested that the parents be
permitted to travel in order to oversee care.11 The parents also showed officers the children’s birth
certificates demonstrating that they are U.S. citizens, and showed them a letter from their
immigration attorney, while also explaining that they are in the process of applying for T visas.

Rather than let Sara proceed to Texas Children’s, CBP officers detained the entire family. An
officer called staff at Texas Children’s who confirmed that the daughter was a patient of the
hospital12 and that due to the nature of her condition she would likely be transferred to Texas
Children’s if she were brought to a local facility. At this point, officers neither allowed the family
to proceed to Texas Children’s nor brought her to a local facility to address her potential medical
emergency. Officers took no action at all to ensure Sara got the care she needed. Instead, they
confiscated her medication

While the family was waiting, officers told the parents that someone would need to come pick up
their vehicle. The parents called their pastor. When the pastor arrived, he told CBP personnel about
Sara’s medical condition. The officer told him that Sara—a U.S. citizen—would need to get a
medical visa.

One of the officers tried to take away Sara’s foot brace, but Maria protested
and explained that she needed it. Officers brought the family inside the facility to a cage where an
officer reviewed the family’s documents, including the children’s birth certificates showing that
they are U.S. citizens, and a letter from their immigration attorney.
Officers then separated the family by gender and put them into two lines. A female officer looked
at Manuel’s acne and said that he needed to masturbate more. Maria was incensed when she
overheard this remark and told the officers that they were insulting a U.S. citizen. Officers searched
each member of the family, including the pat downs of sensitive parts of their bodies. Six-year-old
Vicente, a U.S. citizen, later asked his mom why they touched him “down there.”

. A male staff member asked Elizabeth how old she was and told her that
“you’re going to start burning oil soon,” referring to menstruation.

Maria told a medical staff member about Sara’s surgery and condition, hoping that they would
allow Sara to take her medication. The staff member accused her of lying.

Eventually medical staff allowed Sara to take her evening dose of
seizure medication, but locked up the emergency medical spray.

Maria remembers that the room was very small and could
barely fit two twin beds. The mats on the floor were very dirty and staff gave the family wipes to
clean them off with. A little while after officers put them in the room, Maria saw an officer pass
by the cell and told them she wanted to speak to her attorney. The officer mocked her, asking if
she thought her attorney was going to be available twenty-four hours a day.
The room was very hot and very bright, like an incubator. The lights did not shut off all night. Sara
and her sisters tossed and turned but did not sleep well. Twelve hours earlier, Sara’s parents were
so worried about her that they rushed the family towards Houston for emergency care. Instead of
granting her that care, CBP forced a child who was still recovering from brain surgery to sleep in
a hot, dirty, brightly lit cell.


supervisor, came to Juan and started pressuring him to sign a
deportation order. Juan refused and asked to speak to his attorney. The officers told him that
criminals do not have the right to speak to an attorney. One of the officers got very close to Juan,
who feared the officer was going to punch him. After some time, the officers got frustrated and
went to Maria’s cell and demanded she sign a deportation order. One officer threatened that the
government would take away her children and she would never speak to them again. Maria again
asked to speak to her attorney, and the officer told her that she was a criminal and had no right to
an attorney. The officers started screaming at Maria. Maria started to cry.
After a while, officers allowed Maria to speak to an attorney. They brought her to a room with
phones. She was able to contact her attorney’s office and spoke to an assistant for only three
minutes before an officer opened the door and ordered her to hang up.

An officer saw Maria was crying and tried to reassure her that they would not take away her
children. The officer told Maria that there was a woman in the facility who collects complaints and
sends them to Washington. Maria later spoke to the woman and told her story. The woman seemed
very angry and spoke on the phone to someone about their situation. The woman said that it would
be a serious complaint because there were two U.S. citizen children with serious medical
conditions in CBP custody.
The woman asked Maria to identify the officers who threatened to take away her children, which
Maria did. After that, the woman took Maria to the medical area to identify the staff who wanted
to throw out Sara’s medicine. The woman started arguing with the staff, telling them that the child
needed to be in Houston for medical care and that they didn’t understand the complexity of Sara’s
condition. The woman demanded that the staff show her where Sara’s emergency medicine was,
and the staff explained that they did not know because they were not on shift the previous evening.
During this confrontation, Sara fell asleep in a chair. The medical staff asked if this was normal,
and Maria explained that the doctors told them to expect this because Sara’s brain was still swollen
from the surgery.
The woman told Maria she would file a complaint and left the family. Maria and her daughters
returned to the cell. The officer who Maria understood to be a supervisor came back and demanded
that Maria sign the deportation order. Maria protested, saying that Sara needed treatment in the
U.S. The officer said Sara’s condition could be treated in Mexico. The officer then said that he
knows important people in Washington, and that if he makes a phone call, the government would
take her children and she would not see them again.

Another officer came and asked Maria why she risked her children by taking them out into the
brush. Maria was confused and explained that they were stopped at a checkpoint while trying to
get to the hospital. Later, the same officer started talking to Manuel. Manuel explained that he is a
U.S. citizen and that he goes to a local high school. The officer chatted with the other children in
English as well.
Maria estimates that she told over thirty individual CBP officers and facility staff at the checkpoint
and processing center about both Sara’s condition and that her children were U.S. citizens.


People in the region
generally believe that all U.S. citizens have money, so the gangs will assume they can get a good
ransom by taking the children.
Sara and Manuel cannot access medical care in Mexico. They are not registered as Mexican
citizens and thus cannot currently access the Mexican medical system. The family does not have
money to pay for any private appointments. Maria and Juan also do not believe that they would
have access to the pediatric neuro-oncologists and other specialists necessary to treat Sara. They
also worry that if they send Sara to Houston for treatment with a trusted friend or adult, CBP will
think she is being trafficked and take her into government custody

This is what happens when we put humanity and due process aside because politicians told us to in order to deport dangerous criminals without proof.

The right is so self-righteous saying liberals are against weeding out fraud and waste, and deporting criminals. They cannot even grasp it’s the complete trashing of our constitution and founding principles that we are upset about.

Sure go ahead and audit government and deport criminals. But we cannot lose who we are as a country to do so (and in many cases they are not even achieving these supposed goals).

We are not detaining the child in any way. I’m not sure why that is hard for you. We are preventing her parents from illegally reentering the United States where they have no right to be. The child can return if that’s what the parents want. They don’t.

They literally detained the child. That’s why there is a complaint. They detained a child, who is a U.S. citizen, without her lifesaving medicine.

Nope. They detained the parents. And there just wasn't anyone to come get the child.

That is not supported anywhere in the documents. Enjoy your fan fiction!

Did someone with legal residency try to pick up the children?

Again, if you just read. This is from the complaint and posted above:

“The parents called their pastor. When the pastor arrived, he told CBP personnel about Sara’s medical condition. The officer told him that Sara—a U.S. citizen—would need to get a medical visa.”

All you need to do now is say— yeah this isn’t what’s supposed to be happening and we should work harder to make sure we’re not making this kind of mindlessly cruel mistake and abusing U.S. citizens. I know it’s more fun to shriek about the anchor babies and “the illegals”.

It's obvious that CBP officer is legally incorrect about the medical visa. That does not change the fact that the parents have been knowingly and willfully breaking the law for almost two decades and for that are not deserving of sympathy. The fact remains that they wouldn't need to split everyone up if they did not knowingly and willing split their family's immigration status. The mother is still shrieking about the daughter needing to be split from her parents, which is solely the parents doing. Split immigration status is not grounds for an illegal immigrant to magically be granted legal status.

This is all you need to say.

No one needs to sympathize with her parents (though other parents likely do) to be able to say that a ten year old U.S. citizen was mistreated, and deserves both our sympathy and the redress of the legal system.

She loses credibility because of her two decades of willful illegal behavior.

I’m pretty sure PP was talking about the child, who hasn’t been alive for two decades and hasn’t done anything illegal. Can you really not post something showing empathy for the child without trying to tear down her parents? You’ve already won, they’re being sent away. Can’t you pretend to show some grace and say something kind about a child with cancer without attaching a negative sentiment?

DP. The child has not "been sent away" the parents are keeping the child away. It’s 100% on them.

Should we let all criminals out of jail if their child gets cancer? Why is this different?

We are living in a world where the Jan. rioters/traitors/thugs/savages/murders were let out of prison for their crimes against this country for absolutely no good reason.

So, yes why not?. These people and any other person behind bars more than likely isn’t there because they took part in an attempted coup. What’s the crime here picking vegetables for $3 an hour, hauling bricks for $10.

So yes give humanitarian temporary supervised release to any non violent offender who has a kid sick with cancer.

Or just admit you all are a bunch of small minded, lazy asshats, who all one way or another have your lips wrapped around the government teat, yes this is you.

Go in peace and I pray that you be allowed to continue to live out your sad little, little, little deafeningly insignificant lives just as you have been, in quiet desperation.

A ten year old who hasn’t been alive for two decades and never committed a crime “loses credibility for two decades of willful illegal behavior”? Remarkable.

But it’s the right thing to do. The humanitarian thing is would be to allow mom and daughter to stay so that the child has a fighting chance.

The child is a citizen and can ride/walk back across the border with an adult family member or family friend and access care any time. Nothing is stopping that from happening. The only thing stopping her from getting this urgent medical care in the US is the parents using this as leverage to get themselves back into the country. That is what this is really about.

They should also check into healthcare in Mexico. It would be heartless for Mexico to deny this child healthcare.

How often have you travelled internationally with an unrelated child? How often have you consented to critical medical care on their behalf?

Well. It’s not their “fault” but having a US Citzen child is not and should not be a way for those without legal status to remain in the US. So, they must go.
