A federal judge issued a stern warning Friday, expressing serious concern that the Trump administration had deported a two-year-old American citizen to Honduras without granting her proper legal protections, even as her father was desperately trying to keep her in the country through the courts.
U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty, appointed by President Trump, said that the child — identified in filings only as “V.M.L.” — appeared to have been released in Honduras earlier that day along with her Honduran-born mother and sister. The family had been detained by immigration officials earlier in the week.
