Trump Admin Deports Underage US Citizen Who Was Undergoing Cancer Treatment

On Friday, the Trump administration deported three underage US citizens, aged 2, 4, and 7, and one of them was undergoing treatment for a rare form of cancer. This is the second time in the last two months that the administration has deported an underage US citizen with cancer. The deportations came from Trump’s pledge to “keep families together,” even if the children of undocumented people were US citizens. These moves are going to get children killed, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

The Trump administration on Friday deported three US citizens all under the age of eight. One was age two, one was age four with metastatic cancer, and one was aged seven. The mother of the 2-year-old also happened to be pregnant, but both families, the four and 7-year-old belonged to the same mother. Uh, both were deported in spite of the children all being legal US residents that, of course, were born on US soil. The mothers on the other hand, were of course, undocumented people that had been in the country for years in Louisiana, had no criminal records, were decent law abiding working people that just happened to have come in this country in not the legal way, right? That was their crime, which by the way, is a misdemeanor. However, now they're being sent outta the country or have been sent out of the country. The 4-year-old was undergoing cancer treatment for a rare and aggressive form of metastatic cancer, like in the middle of treatments, and now being shipped outta the country without possibly access to care.

No medical records, none of that according to the ACL U. So they don't know if this child will even continue getting care for this cancer, which means there's a good chance that this 4-year-old dies. A 4-year-old US citizen has basically been given a death sentence because the Trump administration wanted to get that undocumented mother out of the country. The pregnant mother who was deported, of course, uh, was not, uh, was also not, excuse me, uh, given medical records. So we don't know if she's gonna continue to be able to get prenatal care or anything like that. Um, you know, so there's a good chance she and the baby could die leaving the 2-year-old again, a US citizen who was deported with her, with no one, no one at all to take care of this 2-year-old possibly. But Trump's staying true to his word, right? He told us after he had won the election, but before he got sworn in, and then again after he was sworn in, that the policy's gonna be to keep families together. Oh, we don't wanna rip him apart. So, you know, if the mother or father is here illegally, but the rest of the family's legal, we'll just ship 'em all out together, we'll deport legal US citizens. So that's what he did. Staying true to his word, right? His awful, horrible, anti-democratic and unconstitutional word. Now, the story of the 2-year-old was of course, widely reported on Friday because even the judge

Who was a Trump appointee said, this doesn't seem right at all. It seems like there was no due process. This doesn't seem legal. So that judge has of course, scheduled a hearing to find out what the hell happened. But that hearing's not gonna take place till May 16th, you know, a couple weeks after they're already out of the country. We probably will have lost track of them by then. But don't worry that Trump appointed judges. I'm gonna find out what happened in a month or so. It, it's fake. It's all bull crap. These children and their mothers did not present any kind of threat to this country. They were contributing to the economy of this country contributing to their local economies. Were they here illegally? Sure. But when you look at their history, when you look at what they have done for their communities, when you look at the fact they do not have criminal records, this should not be an issue of let's rip you and your child with cancer out of this country. It should be okay. Listen, you screwed up. We'll give you a second chance. Let's go through the legal avenues. We will put you here right now on a probationary, uh, uh, you know, term while we go through the legal processes.
