Fact check: What is the specific case of the child with cancer Trump allegedly deported?

1. Summary of the results

The case involves a 4-year-old US citizen with a rare form of metastatic cancer who was deported to Honduras alongside her mother and siblings ^[1]. The deportation included three US citizen children in total, aged 2, 4, and 7 ^[1]. The ACLU reported that the child was deported without access to necessary medication or medical consultations, despite ICE being informed of her medical needs ^[1].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

• Federal Judge Terry A Doughty raised serious concerns about the deportation, explicitly stating that deporting US citizens is "illegal and unconstitutional" ^[1].
• Trump administration officials, including Tom Homan and Marco Rubio, defended the action by arguing that:
• The mothers were the primary targets of deportation
• The children simply accompanied their mothers
• Having a child in the US is not a "get-out-of-jail-free card" ^[1]
• This was not an isolated incident - another similar case occurred in February involving a 10-year-old girl recovering from brain cancer who was also deported with her siblings ^[1].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

• The original question assumes this might be an "alleged" deportation, when multiple sources confirm it actually occurred ^[1].
• It's important to note that this case involves multiple stakeholders with different interests:
• The ACLU and legal groups advocating for human rights and challenging the legality of such deportations ^[1]
• The Trump administration officials defending their immigration policies ^[1]
• The federal judiciary expressing concerns about constitutional violations ^[1]
• There might be confusion with other cases, as another source mentions a different case involving a Mexican girl with short bowel syndrome ^[2], highlighting that there were multiple cases of medically vulnerable children facing deportation during this period.
