A Venezuelan family is calling for a 2-year-old to be returned to her mother after the U.S. authorities deported the mother to Venezuela on Friday without the child.

The girl’s father was sent to a prison in El Salvador in March.

The toddler, Maikelys Antonella Espinoza Bernal, remains in foster care in the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Officials said in a statement that the child was removed from her parents and from the manifest of her mother’s deportation plane for her own “safety and welfare.”

The Trump administration claims the girl’s parents are members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang, but it has not offered evidence to back this up.

Anyone who supports or even tries to justify all this blatant injustice is an utter monster. Disgusting and barbaric!

Don't buy any US products!

I for one will no longer support this morally rotten country - I don't care what it costs.

I’m from El Salvador and my brothers try to excuse this shit and defend bukele. I straight up told them “if you wanna tell yourself that safer streets and less crime is worth the death and blood of thousands of innocent people who are tossed away without due process, fine but own it. Don’t pretend it didn’t happen. It happened, so tel yourself that it was worth it. All those ruined lives and families are worth my safer streets. Does that make you feel like a piece of shit? Well that’s the price of admission “

It's so horrible to see your own family not caring.

I have a similar thing. But principles > family, especially in these times.

Stand up to fascism!

Great job. Mental high five!

Sold to a wealthy white family, where she will be raised as a house slave.

If this happened to me I would lose my mind and soul. Absolutely monstrous policies from this administration. And all because the father had tattoos, and of course everyone with tattoos is a gang member 😮‍💨
