Immigration officials in the United States have in recent days deported three children aged 2, 4 and 7 who are US citizens along with their Honduran-born mothers, their lawyers said.
Lovely term, that. What it really means is that the children were born in the United States of America and are therefore AMERICAN CITIZENS and have all the rights that all other American citizens have. The simple fact that you don’t like that provision of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America is completely irrelevant. This is now at least four American citizens that have been illegally deported without being given any semblance of the due process that the very same Constitutional Amendment requires be given to all RESIDENTS (legal or otherwise) of the united states, including their allegedly undocumented mothers.
And, “in case no read” the link I’ve provided above, this will save you the effort of clicking. The relevant parts are highlighted for you too.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
ICE and Trump have clearly and unarguably violated the Constitutional rights of both the parents and children here.
