The Trump administration deported this five-year-old girl to Honduras despite her being a US citizen.

ive-year-old Génesis Ester Gutiérrez Castellanos misses her cousins, classmates and kindergarten teachers in Austin, Texas. Despite being a US citizen, she was deported on 11 January alongside her mother, Karen Guadalupe Gutiérrez Castellanos, to Honduras, a country Génesis had never known.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were acting on an administrative deportation order against Gutiérrez, 26, issued in 2019, before Génesis was born.

“I kept telling them ‘the girl was born here’. They didn’t care, they picked up the child, just put a jumper on her and told me to get into the car with her,” Gutiérrez told the Guardian.

1. No due process, search and seizure without a warrant, apparent immunity for shooting US citizens.

Trump’s America.

It's a Wonderful Life's dystopian alternate universe has come to life.

9. Trump's FASCIST America.

2. She was deported

with her mother who had an immigration warrant. Relatives here are trying to work out a custody agreement so the girl can come back, if that is what her family wants to do.

6. We send mothers to prison all the time, their children don't go with them

If her mother just had to be deported, children and family services should of been notified and they would set up an agreement for family members to raise the child or another foster family to raise the child….

There’s never any reason for a child who is an American citizen to be deported and honestly since it’s best for the child to be with their mother, she shouldn’t be deported either

7. She had a removal order.

Any other court orders or laws that you think should be ignored simply because children are involved?

Furthermore, she may have requested that her child go with her.

8. The child didn't have a removal order , no court order that would send a child, an American citizen to another country

As punishment could never be considered a “legal “ order

[Greg_In_SF]

10. I'm well aware of that

and that is why I am guessing that she requested that the child go with her. Maybe we will find out some day.

11. Guessing ,making excuses

The idea that immigration would ask the mother they are deporting anything about anything is ludicrous

[Greg_In_SF]

12. It is not at all

uncommon for deportees to take their children with them. NBC just did a story about this last year.

And, of course, you are also just ‘guessing'.

3. Clearly just one of the worst of the worst
