Welcome, everybody.

I hope you had a good weekend.

We sadly start today with a story so outrageous, it almost sounds fake.

A global humiliation as President Donald Trump's administration has deported a two-year-old American citizen,

two-year-old American citizen to the country of Honduras.

And they did it with no meaningful due process, according not just to any judge, but to a Trump-appointed federal judge.

The little girl is being identified only as VML was sent out of the country with her mother

and sister while the court was still trying to figure out her legal status.

U.S. district judge Terry Dowdy, who is a Trump nominee, said it plainly.

Quote, we have a strong suspicion that the government, Trump's government, just deported a U.S.

citizen without any meaningful process.

Think about where this now is.

An American citizen deported, I'll get back to that term, deported

by her own government. Can we even call it a deportation? Or is it really a kidnapping? Is it human

trafficking? I'm not asking rhetorically. I just don't know that the word deportation even

really applies here. And by the time the judge tried to intervene, the family was already

above what we call the Gulf of Mexico. They were gone. And the excuse from the Department

of Homeland Security, the parents chose to take her with them. Except her father,

who is still in the United States, says he wasn't given any choice. I scrabbed his partner

and daughters during a routine check-in. When he tried to get his daughter back, he was ignored.

They barely let him talk to the mother for a minute before deporting them all I believe that this is now the playbook
