The Tsar of the Trump administration border, Tom Homan, argued on Sunday that the “due process” was applied when a two -year -old boy is an American citizen was transferred to Honduras along with his mother, who was deported.
Judge of the Federal District Court of Louisiana Terry Doughty wrote in an order on Friday That there was a “strong suspicion that the government simply deported an American citizen without a significant process”, after the 2 -year -old girl was sent to Honduras with her mother and 11 -year -old sister.
But Homan said that “the judge was due process,” adding “Face the nation with Margaret Brennan“That the mother of the two -year -old” had due process to taxpayers and was ordered by an immigration judge after those hearings, so he had due process. “
Doughty, who was appointed by President Trump durable in his first mandate, tried to organize a phone call with the two -year -old girl’s mother on Friday, but Justice’s lawyer informed him that a call, agreed, the mother’s mother. Meanwhile, the father of the two -year -old tried to ask the court that the legal custody of the child temporarily transferred a relative who is an American citizen.
When Brennan asked him about the deadline and the process allowed, Homin reiterated that “there was due process.”
“The two -year -old boy was with the mother. The mother signed the newspaper, saying ‘I want my two -year -old son to go with me,” Homan said. “That is the decision of the parents, it is not a decision of the government.”
The two -year -old is among the three children who are US citizens who were deported on Friday with their mothers from the United States to Honduras, according to judicial documents reviewed by CBS News. Homan played the characterization, saying: “We did not deport to US citizens” and added that in cases of thesis, “the mother chose to take children with her.”
“This is the raising of children 101,” said Homan. “You can decide to take that child with you, or you can decide to leave a child with a relative or another spouse.”
Among the deported children was a four -year -old boy with cancer in stage 4, defenders said. The “border tsar” said he was aware of that specific case. Homan argued that when some illegally enter the country and pursue it to have a child, automatically granting the child American citizenship, “that is about you, that is not in this administration.”
“Having an American citizen son after entering this country is not legally not a free card to leave,” said Homan. He added that people “immune to our laws.”
Development occurs when the Trump administration has carried out rapid deportations, since it pursues an aggressive offensive against illegal immigration. The movements have sometimes led to several judicial battles, even in the case of Kilmar Abrego GarcíaA Salvadoran citizen who lived in Maryland, that the Department of Justice admitted that it was wrongly among a group of deporting a prison in El Salvador last month.

The Trump administration says it can eliminate immigrants under the 1798 alien enemies lawwhich was previously used in times of duration. The case made its way to the Supreme Court, which at first ruled that deportations could continue as long as they gave due process.
