I'm just going to quote the article, as it sort of speaks for itself:
"
Gracie Willis of the National Immigration Project said the mothers, at the very least, did not have a fair opportunity to decide whether they wanted the children to stay in the United States."
"
The 4-year-old — who is suffering from a rare form of cancer — and the 7-year-old were deported to Honduras within a day of being arrested with their mother, Willis said. "
"
In a Thursday court filing, lawyers for the father said ICE indicated that it was holding the 2-year-old girl in a bid to induce the father to turn himself in. His lawyers didn’t describe his immigration status, but said he has legally delegated the custody of his daughters to his sister-in-law, a U.S. citizen who also lives in Baton Rouge."
So, no. This is not simply a case of the kids being with their righthful parents.
Parents make decisions in the best interests of their child. It's unlikely that the parent of a 4 year old receiving cancer treatments in the US would decide that it's in the best interest of the child to go to Honduras. The child will probably not even be alive at 18 because of this decision. But let's stop pretending.
You want this child to suffer.
That is who you are as a person.
As for the 2 year old, well, looks like the legal custodian wasn't heard.
