Lawyers deny the assertion of the civil servants, the mothers' claim that their US citizens willingly took children with them

A mother who was to be deported was less than two minutes on the phone with her husband to find out what would become of her 2-year-old American citizens' child.

Another mother was not allowed to speak to lawyers or family members before she was deported, accompanied by her children born in the United States, although the immigration and customs authority knew that one of them had cancer in stage 4.

Lawyers for the mothers and their children who were sent to Honduras appear to the Trump government and say that the deportations of three US citizens' children are illegal at the weekend, including the 4-year-old boy who went without access to his cancer medication. They crowd back against statements that the families have selected for the children to go with their mothers.

On Monday, Tom Homan, the border between Trump Administration, the three US citizens' children, all under 10 years, said on deportation flights at the request of her mother. Foreign Minister Marco Rubio said that the children were not deported, but “went with their mothers” and added that they could come back as a citizen if there is someone in the United States who “wants to accept them”.

But lawyers have given details that say that the mothers, their families and their lawyers had little or no chance of taking precautions for their children.

Such distances “happen at a lot of speed,” said Sirine Shebaya, managing director of the national immigration project.

“This is a lot of a situation that really requires an investigation and a kind of accountability,” said Shebaya, “because there is no puzzle about what was happening.”

Tricia McLaughlin, deputy secretary of the homeland protection authority, said in an e -mail that the agency was “confident in our process and in our procedure”, and added that it contains documentation, which confirms that it is the choice of parents to go with them.

“We assume our responsibility to seriously protect children and will continue to work with the federal law enforcement authorities to ensure that children are safe and protected,” she said.

In an interview, P. González, the mother's lawyer, who was deported with her 2-year-old child, told me that the woman was asked to bring her children to an immigration check-in that was raised by the original date.

Gracie Willis, a lawyer of the national immigration project that represents the 2-year-old, said in an interview about MSNBC: “In every point ICE refused to know the ability to know where this family was, everyone refused to contact and communicate with them.” She said that the child's father “has hardly any opportunity to talk to the mother about what was best for the child before an ice officer put on the phone when he tried to give her the number for a lawyer.”

ICE has provided a one-sided note that says that the mother who is pregnant was written and shows that she gave her consent to the 2-year-old. The note is written in Spanish, with editorial offices in the upper and lower right corners. In the note it says: “I will take my daughter with me [her name] With me to Honduras ”, with the date and the time and the name of the mother.

But González, co -founder of the Sanctuary of the South, a cooperative of immigration and LGBTQ, said that Eis was “wrongly characterized that this was her wish that she intentionally agreed.”

“The statement does not show that this was her wish. It does not show that she agrees. She only wrote down a fact. And after she had spoken to her, it is clear that she felt forced. She felt absolutely forced to write this,” said González.

“She didn't sign anything”

Lawyers for the mother of cancer said with cancer that they, the boy and his sister, 7, who is also a US citizen, were flown to Honduras on Friday morning. Lawyers say that the mother was unable to speak to family members or their lawyers before they were sent out of the country and that she did not readily take her children with them.

The American Civil Liberties Union said that ice was informed in advance about the child's medical needs.

“She didn't sign anything, wrote nothing and nothing expressly agreed. All the time, she tried very aggressively to speak to her lawyer,” said González. “In fact, she tried to get a phone to try to call her family and lawyer. But she was not allowed.”

“She didn't sign anything. She did not agree to anyone. She wanted to make a lot of other plans for her two American citizens, especially because her 4-year-old got actual cancer treatment here in the USA,” said González. “You not only deported this family against the wishes of the mother; they were deported without the child's medication.”

Some legal supporters warn that there are other cases in which the deportations of mothers could put us in danger.

In Florida, a lawyer of America Perez Ramirez (52) said that the Department of Homeland Security had sent a message in which she should check in her client in an ice field office and bring tickets for a direct flight to Mexico for her and her 11-year-old daughter of the US citizen.

Her daughter Yoselin has a life-threatening rare genetic disorder known as the maple syrup urine disease in which the body cannot break down certain amino acids. Perez Ramirez lost two more children to the disease. The doctor of the girl's university of the girl wrote a letter in her name in her name: “Yoselin has to be with her mother in the USA to head her MSUD.

Perez Ramirez is in the middle of a work trade. She came to the United States with an H2-B visa, which was hired by an employer who finally exploited her and took her visa, said her lawyer. In the context of earlier administrations, she was able to get four earlier deportation stays recognized by the girl's serious illness, but this time we could not even submit a stay because they said: 'We have already given them four and we no longer give them. “

The deportation would have forced her to take her daughter with her because there is no one who ensures that she receives medical care.

Bridgette M. Bennett, who represents Perez Ramirez, said: “She should leave on Saturday, but the only thing she was holding here was the fact that her daughter's passport had expired.” Bennett tries to stop her from being deported and argues that there is no one who takes care of the girl with her condition.
