Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: ICE refuses to deport child with their mother [View all]

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. First Trump illegally sent a child’s father to be imprisoned without trial or due process in El Salvador. Then ICE grabbed her mother to be deported to Venezuela.
But despite the mom saying she wanted to leave with her daughter, ICE is keeping the baby!

Full story. The Trump admin is *defending* this as a deliberate decision. They claimed both the child’s parents are in Tren de Aragua (without presenting any evidence) and therefore are arguing that this is in the child’s best interest.
Of course, they didn’t file any case. They just took the baby.
