Judge Claims Trump Deported 2-Year-Old American Citizen with “No Meaningful Process” – Here’s What Really Happened

...still igorning the emergency petition filed by the child's father.

It does not apply in Honduras. This is a civil matter for the Honduran government, the father should file there.

It obviously applies in the United States and ICE ignoed it. That and other events are the topic of the next hearing by the judge.

I'm trying to make sense of the situation.

I was triggered by the word "white". Not sure who Steven Miller is but ok.

Why on earth would an American father need to apply for his American child who was deported by the American government with Honduras?

The first petition to keep the child in the United States was filed on April 22, three days before the mother and her children were removed from the country. A second petition was filed on April 24 the day before they were removed. The mother was also denied access to an attorney or phone calls while she was detained. This family was denied due process and the government's actions in this case are indefensible.

Looking at all the divorces that happen, the mother usually is awarded custody of the child unless the father can prove she is not fit to care for the child. I know this isn't a divorce, but my mother seems to be better suited to raise children.

I'm beginning to think that since she signed paperwork requesting the child to be with her, she'll raise the child till adulthood, and he can make his own decisions to be with the father or not.

I don't think she'll have to wait for 16 years because when a democrat is elected, all this will be reversed. We have a track record of reversing policy.

Kinda sounds like another Elian Gonzales situation.

More proof that Trump is just a rebranded, much older, Democrat.

There was no paperwork requesting the child be with her. The only thing the government provided was a single sentence written on a hotel notepad that stated: “I, Jenny Carolina Lopez, will bring my daughter, Valentina Mendez Lopez, with me to Hondruas.”

She signed no such paperwork as there is no such paperwork. There was a simple letter stating she wold take the child with her, nothing more. That does not somehow override the fathers wishes or rights in this case. Nor does it abrogate the need for judicial over-site.

I don't think she'll have to wait for 16 years because when a democrat is elected, all this will be reversed. We have a track record of reversing policy.

Maybe we should base the rules on something a little less ... capricious?

This is the video I saw. What is odd is that the other two siblings weren't deported which leads me to believe she did sign a note requesting the two-year-old to go with her.

When asked by Brennan about the timeframe and process allowed, Homan reiterated that "there was due process."

"The 2-year-old went with the mom. The mom signed the paper, saying 'I want my 2-year-old to go with me,'" Homan said. "That's a parent's decision, it's not a government decision."

The 2-year-old is among three children who are American citizens who were deported Friday with their mothers from the U.S. to Honduras, according to court documents reviewed by CBS News. Homan disputed the characterization, saying, "we don't deport U.S. citizens" and added that in these cases, "the mother chose to take the children with her."

"This is parenting 101," Homan said. "You can decide to take that child with you, or you can decide to leave a child here with a relative or another spouse."

Border czar maintains "no U.S. citizen child was deported" in incident of girl removed to Honduras with mother

Trump administration border czar Tom Homan argued Sunday that "due process" was applied when a mother and her child who is a U.S. citizen were removed to Honduras.

The couple only has two children with a third on the way. The pregnant mother and both children were removed from the country.

When asked by Brennan about the timeframe and process allowed, Homan reiterated that "there was due process."

Tom Homan is being dishonest.

The Trump Administration did not deport the 2-year-old American citizen. Rather, the government was generous enough to pay for the child’s transportation back to Honduras at the legal custodian/mother’s request.
The American citizen is welcome to return to the US at a future date.

In a startling claim, a federal judge asserts that a 2-year-old American citizen was wrongfully deported under the Trump administration. Unpack the implications of this controversial ruling and its broader impact.

The judge should not have tried to prevent the mother, the legal custodian, from taking her child home.

We have always said we are kidnapping no ones child.

More proof that Trump is just a rebranded, much older, Democrat.

If someone who is considered to be extreme far right by Democratic liberals is rebranded old Democrat, what does that say about the current Democrat?

In custody issues a parent can't just take their child out of the country, they need to go through the court system. AND the USA govt doesn't usually pay for citizens to go on a trip somewhere.

Yes they can. Unless there is a court order that says they can't.

 

[rjs330]

They didn't take the woman before a judge to ensure that she needed to be deported. The child has rights. The father is a legal resident of the US. The child could have been awarded to his custody.

The Trump administration is racking up violations of US law at record levels.

They don't need to. Immigration law does not require they do so.

 

[rjs330]

The mother didn't want the child to be taken to Honduras to begin with. She wanted her to remain in the United States.

You know this how?

The first petition to keep the child in the United States was filed on April 22, three days before the mother and her children were removed from the country. A second petition was filed on April 24 the day before they were removed. The mother was also denied access to an attorney or phone calls while she was detained. This family was denied due process and the government's actions in this case are indefensible.

I didn't see where the judge ordered that the child be remanded to the custody of the father. Do you have that ruling?

I was triggered by the word "white". Not sure who Steven Miller is but ok.

Steven Miller is a nativist, racist, and most likely a white nationalist who has been writing and making statements against non-white people since before he was in HS. He was the "force" behind the "Muslim ban" and "family separation" policies in Trump's first term. He and Homan are most likely the main forces behind these actions operating in the White House.

 

[Laodicean60]

most likely the main forces behind these actions operating in the White House.

I don't think so, Trump is the driving force on immigration policy.
