Three US-citizen children removed to Honduras

ICE in New Orleans removes three US-citizen children, aged 2, 4 and 7, to Honduras with their mothers; V.M.L.'s family had been detained at a routine immigration check-in. According to the ACLU of Louisiana, the 4-year-old, who has a rare metastatic cancer, is removed without medication or a consultation with her doctors. The 2-year-old, V.M.L., is removed before a federal court can act on a habeas petition (Rolling Stone, ABC7).
