'It is illegal': Judge furious as 2-year-old US citizen with cancer deported

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : The ACLU said that one of the children has a rare form of metastatic cancer and was deported without medication or consultation with their treating physician, despite ICE being notified about the child's urgent condition.
45% : Pro-immigration protesters link arms and partially blockade access to a table hosted by Arizona State University College Republicans United as they invite students to turn in their undocumented classmates to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, U.S., January 31, 2025.
37% : In a scathing ruling Friday, U.S. District Judge David Briones ordered ICE to free a Venezuelan couple dubiously held in El Paso under the Alien Enemies Act, finding that the government "has not demonstrated they have any lawful basis to continue detaining" the pair.
35% : Briones also warned ICE to not deport anyone else it is holding as an alleged "alien enemy" in West Texas. ICE overreach and abuses -- which include wrongful detention of U.S. citizens, arrests of green-card holders who defend Palestine, and warrantless home searches -- have fueled renewed calls for the agency's defunding.
