Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show. You daily dive into the news. My name is Philip

They were not provided a choice. They were not provided options. And then on top of that,

you had the head of the National Immigration Project calling the idea that the children weren't deported willfully misleading, noting that ICE officials were, quote, well aware that there were
