USA deports two -year -old American baby; Judge says it is illegal

For this reason, Judge Terry Doughty understood that his deportation would be unconstitutional. “It is illegal and unconstitutional to deport, stop for deportation or recommend the deportation of a US citizen,” he said in the order of “immediate liberation” of the child by US immigration and customs service.

When the girl’s order of release was emitted, mother and daughters were already on a flight to Honduras. The judge tried to call Jenny Carolina Lopez Villela, the mother, to “research her consent and Custody Rights” from VML, which she did not meet. At this point, they were already on their way to their home country.

Father of the child alleged interference from immigration. According to the information of the The New York Timesthe father, who was not named in the petition, said he even tried to give Lopez Villela a lawyer’s phone, but at this point in the conversation the call was interrupted by immigration officials.

What the US government says

United States Government denies unconstitutionality. According to the American newspaper The New York Timesthe court’s lawyers told Judge Douighty that his mother reported to ICE agents that he wanted to maintain VML custody, and that the girl went to her the Honduras.

Petition presented contradicts the US government. The document It claims that the girl’s father, when talking to Lopez Villela, could hear her and the children crying. He still says that he tried to calm the girl’s mother saying “their daughter was an American citizen and could not be deported.”
