Was the mom here illegally? Baby should have citizenship right by default of born here.

Yep I see baby deported etc but what is the legal law pre trump era for such issue?

It seems like the baby wasn't actually deported, but her mother was, and she took the baby with her. Since the government was handling the transportation, that's considered deportation.

In reality, NONE of it is actually "deportation," because that is a legal process that includes courts and judges, which MAGA Nazis illegally bypass. This is kidnapping and human trafficking, which is illegal, and following illegal orders is illegal.

IF we energe from this, it won't be enough to prosecute the MAGA leadership like Puppy-Killer Noem and Pakled Homan. The individual MAGA ICE Gestapo agents should be prosecuted and serve multi-decade sentences in maximum security prisons for each case they were involved in. They are well aware of the illegality of their actions, which is why they wear masks.

It is important to make future potential seditionists know that they will not get off the hook because they were only following orders.

This is insanity.

If the mother was going to court for a check in it seems like she was following the legal process.

I know there are often times when things like clerical errors could lead to ordered deported by mistake, but even then it was rare for people to be sent right away. Usually people could contact a lawyer and request a stay of removal while they challenge the issue.

Lawyer access? Dude trump is arresting the lawyers now. What lawyer. Welcome to Nazi america

You* were asking if this was business as usual before Trump.

Before Trump it was standard for someone doing a check in to be able to contact their lawyer if they were flagged for deportation.
