Unconscionable cruelty and malicious intent. The hallmarks of Trump and MAGA.

Immigration officials have arrested nearly 20 children who are US citizens - including two with cancer - in first nine months of Trump’s term, report says - Independent. co.uk

Trump administration immigration agents have detained or arrested more than 170 U.S. citizens since the president took office, including nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer, according to a new analysis.

The government does not officially tally this statistic, but scores of U.S. citizens have been caught up in the crackdown, a ProPublica investigation found.

In February, a 10-year-old who was being treated for brain cancer was deported to Mexico alongside four of her American siblings and her two parents, who are both undocumented.

The family was stopped that month in Texas at an immigration checkpoint as they headed towards Houston, where the 10-year-old’s specialist doctors live. Previously, letters from their doctors and lawyers had allowed them to pass through such checkpoints, but immigration officers refused to let them go this time.
