Family of 2-year-old US citizen deported to Honduras drops lawsuit against Trump administration
- On Tuesday, attorneys revealed that the family of a toddler who holds U.S. Citizenship and was sent back to Honduras along with her mother is dropping their legal challenge against the Trump administration.
- The lawsuit challenged the legality of new deportation policies after the girl and two other U.S.-born children were removed alongside their Honduran-born mothers during a check-in at an ICE office in New Orleans.
- The family lived in Baton Rouge, and lawyers said the girl's father wanted her to remain in the U.S., while ICE claimed the mother requested the child be deported with her.
- U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty scheduled a hearing to address suspicions that the government deported a citizen without due process, stating it was to dispel strong doubts about the deportation's legality.
- Lawyer Gracie Willis said the family dismissed the case to allow time for full discussions on their options and children's well-being after traumatizing experiences they endured.
