Former acting ICE Director Tom Homan defended the deportation of a mother and her U.S. citizen child to Honduras during the Trump administration. Speaking on CBS Sunday, Homan asserted that "due process" was applied in the case, despite the child's U.S. citizenship.
"No U.S. citizen child was deported," Homan stated, maintaining the administration's position on the matter. However, critics argue that the act of deporting the child's mother effectively resulted in the child's removal from the United States, infringing upon their rights as a citizen.
The case highlights the complexities of immigration law and the potential consequences for families with mixed citizenship statuses. The debate continues over the extent to which immigration enforcement should consider the impact on U.S. citizen children and the balance between national security and individual rights.
