A 2-month-old baby, Juan Nicolás, who became gravely ill while detained at ICE’s South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, has been deported to Mexico along with his parents and 16-month-old sibling. That’s according to Texas Congressmember Joaquin Castro, who had demanded the baby’s release after news he had been rushed to the hospital on Monday. Baby Juan had reportedly been detained at Dilley for about a month. Univision reporter Lidia Terrazas had spoken to Juan’s mom, who told her the baby had suffered a health episode, choking on his own vomit. When he was taken to Dilley’s medical area, guards were told there was no doctor available inside the facility at that time.
Evil, fuck Ice
To be clear, odds are almost 100% that the baby was born on US soil, thus an American citizen.
Quite the loophole.
No, it’s the law, not a loophole.
Well loopholes do generally work within the confines of the law, thats an integral point of the whole definition.
Unless you mean that the people who made the original law considered birth tourism as a right worth granting?
US Constitution - Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
Hmmm I wonder why they stopped responding…
I’m pretty sure they’re Canadian and had no idea that birthright citizenship is actually written into our constitution.
They were pretty explicit in their wording.
I’m sure the Supreme Court will find a way to make it LESS explicit.
Wonder if these pricks go home and proudly tell their families about their day of deporting sick babies and treating other humans like bags of garbage… then I wonder how they lay their head down and sleep at night. Disgraceful human beings, I don’t care if it’s their “job” or the “law”
The end of the day we ALL live on this fucking rock together.

This is what a democratic socialist thinks about open borders:

Its a tough thing, on one hand cheap labor that bypasses labor laws and creates a permanent underclass that rewards corporations with cheap labor and punishes tax paying citizens is obviously bad. But obviously deporting people who dont want to leave is a hard thing to do, and these people are worse off than someone in America would generally be. This is even harder if you live in an area with a housing shortage, and prices are rising faster than existing citizens can save.
Yeah well if humans could have just figured out how to all live as one on this thing and not divided from the very beginning, maybe the world would be a better place? Maybe we’d be one of those space faring species traveling to other worlds trying to save other species like us who’ve completely fucked themselves from the getgo. Yeah, fantasy, but we really did fuck up by being territorial blood thirsty animals from the start.
You’re saying you just want open borders and first world country to support the entire worlds needy people with first world care, or what’s the ask here?
Yes
But your taxes won’t go up at all to help pay for it I assume?
You literally missed the entire point and are exactly the issue at hand to which I speak.
Baby should have just complied with the law. He fucked around and found out. /s
Nation full of cowards letting this happen.
Yea, because opening fire on government officials baiting the public for just that would go over well.
This is exactly what they want. Trump is praying for violence, anything to “justify” stopping the midterm elections.
Thanks for proving my point, enjoy your fascist take over, hey maybe the next marvel movie will be good
When is the next Marvel movie?
Trolls gonna troll.
Yeah just a laugh on the internet.
You’re sitting there saying this is your government baiting you? Baiting you? Your government is running concentration camps for children, they’re shooting citizens in the streets, they’re arming a private army for your narcissistic lunatic president, they’re rigging elections and you think you’re being baited?
Buddy you’re so deep in a fascist take over, this isn’t baiting at this point. If you honestly think keeping newborns in a concentration camp is their attempt at baiting you, it just proves you and your entire country is full of cowards. You whined and moaned for your gun rights for eons and here’s a fascist take over happening right now and you all are just hoping you get to vote in an election that your dictator is busy rigging in every way possible.
Good fucking luck. Baited. Jfc.
