On February 9, 2017, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported three U.S. citizen children, ages 2, 4, and 7, along with their undocumented mothers in Atlanta. One child suffers from metastatic cancer and was expelled without crucial medication. The ACLU criticized the deportation for lacking due process, as the families were held incommunicado and denial of contact with legal representatives occurred. This incident has ignited widespread condemnation, particularly highlighting the urgent medical needs of vulnerable children amidst ICE's enforcement actions.
Federal immigration authorities deported three U.S. citizen children, including one with cancer, raising concerns about due process and treatment of American citizens during ICE operations.
The ACLU reported that both families were held incommunicado after their arrests, and attempts by attorneys to contact them were reportedly ignored by ICE agents.
