A mother and a father were deported under Trump. But what happened to her daughter?

A Venezuelan family asks a 2-year-old to return her mother after the US 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 care in the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security. In an explanation, officials said that the child was removed from her parents and from the manifest's deportation level of her mother for her own “security and welfare”.

The Trump administration claims that the girl's parents are members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang, but it has not proven evidence to support this.

The girl, who is known to many in her family as Antonella, is one of several children who have been bordered in the immigration of President Trump in the past few days. At least three children who are US citizens were sent to Honduras this month with their mothers, decisions protested by the families of the families.

In the case of the Venezuelan toddler, the girl of the girl, Yorely Bernal, 20, had entered the USA with her partner Maiker Espinoza and her child in May 2024, while President Joseph R. Biden was still in office.
