    Trump admin deports 10-year-old U.S. citizen recovering from brain cancer to Mexico

    A Texas family on their way to an emergency medical check-up for their 10-year-old daughter, who is recovering from brain cancer, was detained by immigration authorities and hastily deported to Mexico last month. In early February, Customs and Border Protection stopped the family at an immigration checkpoint while they were traveling from Rio Grande, Texas, where they lived, to Houston, where their daughter’s specialists are located — a trip the family had made at least five other times before without incident, according to an attorney representing the family.

    During their previous trips, the undocumented parents of the 10-year-old, who is a U.S. citizen, were allowed through the checkpoint after presenting authorities with letters from lawyers and their daughter’s doctors. This time, however, authorities deemed those letters insufficient and arrested the parents for not providing proper documentation. The family’s attorney said the parents have no criminal history.

    In addition to the 10-year-old girl, four other children, all but one born in the U.S., were in the car with the parents when they were detained. The parents were then forced to make a difficult decision: Return to Mexico as a family, or leave their children behind in the U.S. As NBC News reports, that’s hardly a choice:

    ndocumented parents of U.S.-born children, if picked up by immigration authorities, face the risk of losing custody of their children. Without a power-of-attorney document or a guardianship outlining who will take care of the children left behind, the children go into the U.S. foster care system, making it harder for the parents to regain custody of their children in the future. The family ultimately decided to remain together.

    The 10-year-old girl was diagnosed with brain cancer last year and recently underwent surgery to remove the tumor. Doctors in Houston have been closely monitoring her recovery.

    This is what America voted for.

    Seems pretty deplorable to me, but apparently there are many who disagree.

    Laws are laws (unless you are rich/powerful and/or in the ruling party of the government)

    Waiting for Bill to post that since the parents were in the US illegally the deportation was justified and no leaving her in the custody of the state when they were deported to Mexico was not a viable option. By the way I would like to hear what the posters who bashed Democratic members of Congress for not standing when DJ Daniels, the pediatric cancer survivor was introduced by Trump at his pseudo State of the Union address have to say about the treatment of this pediatric cancer patient.

    I think you meant to add "or a criminal facing dozens of felony indictments who had appointed a significant portion of the judiciary, including a judge overseeing one of his criminal trials"?

    Seems like laws don't apply in that case either. ;)

    But remember, the GOP cares about cancer patients because they once paraded a kid recovering from cancer in front of the cameras to gain political points all while actively defunding his cancer research.

    Trump is a moron and could not care less. It is whatever the Republicans = hate mongering racists want.

    Musk, on the other hand, is a Nazi loving, overt racists POS left over from the Apartheid era, who cares for no one but WASP-males. This is what Republicans are and why I have said for years they should be branded as domestic terrorists and treated as such.

    How about have a heart and some compassion? You know, the "Christian" thing to do?

    Kid is a citizen. Parents have stayed out of trouble for years. Kid is a cancer survivor and still needs regular check ups with his doctors. Who does it hurt to let them stay?
