A two -year -old American girl has been deported with her undocumented mother to Honduras, said a federal judge in Louisiana, but the administration of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, argues that the woman asked her son to be sent with her.
The case is the last to face the American judiciary against Trump’s hard line immigration policies, since the administration pursues massive expulsions of undocumented migrants from the US soil.
The federal district judge Terry Doughty has established a hearing on May 16 in the case “for the sake of dissipating our strong suspicions that the government simply deported an American citizen without a significant process,” according to a court order dated Friday.
“The government argues that all this is fine because the mother wants the girl to be deported with her. But the court does not know,” Doughty wrote, remembering that it is illegal to deport an American citizen.
The girl has only been identified by the VML initials.
His father’s lawyers submitted an emergency application for a temporary restriction order aimed at obtaining the girl’s return.
The Trump administration has killed the bosses with federal judges, rights groups and democrats who say that it has trampled or ignored constitutional rights by hurrying to deport migrants, sometimes without the right to a hearing.
On Friday, federal agents arrested an American judge in Wisconsin for allegedly protecting an undocumented migrant.
The White House has challenged the ruling of the Supreme Court that the Administration must “facilitate” the return of the resident of Maryland, Kilmar Abrego García, who was deported to a maximum security prison in El Salvador.
