Overview

• Three U.S. citizen children, aged 2, 4, and 7, were deported to Honduras alongside their undocumented mothers after ICE check-ins in New Orleans.
• Border czar Tom Homan insists the deportations occurred at the mothers' request, asserting the U.S. government does not deport citizens.
• Attorneys argue the families were denied legal counsel and due process, with claims a 4-year-old cancer patient was removed without access to medication.
• U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty has scheduled a May 16 hearing, expressing suspicion that the deportations violated constitutional protections.
• The administration plans further aggressive immigration enforcement, including lawsuits against sanctuary cities and expanded raids, as political and humanitarian concerns grow.
