> "A family that was deported to Mexico hopes they can find a way to return to the U.S. and ensure their 10-year-old daughter, who is a U.S. citizen, can continue her brain cancer treatment."
- lurk2 1y agoSo far as I can tell, the girl left with her parents (who are not US citizens). This has been the pattern in all of these cases that I have heard about so far. It’s completely disingenuous to suggest that these situations are equivalent to “American citizens being deported” like they are running no-knock raids on farmsteads in Idaho. These children are still entitled to return if they are in the custody of a guardian who has a legal right to reside in the US.
