ICE Deports US Citizen Children, Sparking Outrage
In New Orleans, ICE deported two families, including three U.S. citizen children and a pregnant mother, under questionable circumstances. The deportations violated ICE’s own protocols regarding access to legal counsel and care for minors, leaving families incommunicado and preventing legal intervention. One child with cancer was deported without medication, and another family’s habeas corpus petition was not addressed before deportation. These actions are widely condemned as inhumane, unlawful, and a shocking abuse of power.
