Judge says 2-year-old US citizen appears to have been deported with ‘no meaningful process’
- A federal judge expressed concern that a 2-year-old U.S. Citizen, V.M.L., was deported to Honduras without legal review, stating there was a 'strong suspicion' of this occurring with 'no meaningful process.'

- The American Civil Liberties Union criticized the government's actions as a 'shocking abuse of power' and a violation of ICE's directives regarding the care of minors during deportations.
