Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Oh wow, so you have no source other than “maybe the head of ICE said it.”
I’m sure the mother wanted her child with stage 4 cancer to not have medicine or access to his doctor, that makes so much sense.

Yes, there was an interview on Meet The Press where the head of ICE was pressed on this exact issue. Maybe you should go watch it.
Well, googling “ICE” and “Meet the Press” provides several different videos on several different topics. Usually, when we have sources for claims, we provide them as a link. If you need help figuring out how to do so, you use two brackets like this [text you want shows up here] and than follow that with (https://your/ link)
I’m also unsure on how the director of ICE would know that this woman wanted her child to not have access to their cancer treatment, since the entire point was that due process was not followed and they literally put them on a plane before a court could tell them no.
But if you are okay with deporting US citizens, you’ve made a decision on what side of history you are going to be on.

In the article the parents are talking about having to choose if they should leave their US citizen children here or take them with them.
Did you even read the article you shared?
No you claimed they were deporting American citizens. That was your claim and that claim is untrue.
