Exercising his quest to end birthright citizenship without going through the proper process, The Fascist Felon’s (mis)administration has deported a two-year old US Citizen, along with her mother and sister to Honduras, according to ‘Trump Judge,’ Terry Doughty.
Identified in court filings as “V.M.L.,” the child was born in New Orleans, according to a birth certificate that was filed with the court. Judge Doghty scheduled a hearing on the matter on May 16 that will be “in the interest of dispelling our strong suspicion that the Government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process.”
"The Government contends that this is all okay because the mother wishes that the child be deported with her. But the Court doesn’t know that."
The court battle ignited Thursday, when lawyers for the family filed an emergency petition in the Western District of Louisiana seeking V.M.L.’s immediate release from ICE custody and a declaration that the girl’s detention had been unlawful. The petition was filed under the name of Trish Mack, who the lawyers indicated had been asked by V.M.L.’s father to act as the child’s custodian and take her home from ICE custody.
Lawyers for the guardian told the court that V.M.L.’s father had been attempting to contact the girl’s mother to discuss plans for their child but ICE officials denied him the chance to have a substantive phone call. He says ICE allowed the two to speak for about one minute on Tuesday, while the mother was in ICE custody, but that they were unable to make any meaningful decisions about their child.
Doughty’s sharp criticism of the Trump administration is particularly notable because he issued a series of major decisions in favor of Trump and his allies in recent years, most notably backing conservatives in legal challenges to the Biden administration’s efforts to rein in what it claimed was misinformation on social media platforms about vaccines and certain politically charged topics.
Indeed, some conservatives considered Doughty so likely to be in their camp that they filed lawsuits in his judicial division in order to have a strong chance the cases would be assigned to him.
