Trump Accused of Child Abduction After Deportation
Following President Trump’s re-election and subsequent hardline immigration policies, Venezuelan parents Yorely Bernal and Maiker Espinoza were deported to El Salvador, accused—without evidence—of gang affiliation based on their tattoos. Their two-year-old daughter, Antonella, was placed in U.S. foster care despite assurances to the contrary. The Venezuelan government has condemned the action as an abduction, while the Department of Homeland Security maintains the child’s safety is paramount and justified the separation. Antonella’s future remains uncertain.
