Olivia of Troye - First, They Came for the Immigrants. Now, the Citizens.

We're now at the end of the first 100 days of the second Trump administration, and we're witnessing something many feared but hoped wouldn't happen: U.S. citizenship becoming conditional rather than absolute.

The Reality on the Ground

In recent weeks, multiple verified cases have emerged of U.S. citizen children being deported alongside their undocumented parents:

A 2-year-old U.S. citizen was deported to Honduras with their mother, prompting a federal judge to express "strong suspicion that the Government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process."

A 4-year-old U.S. citizen with a rare form of metastatic stage 4 cancer was deported "without medication or the ability to consult with their treating physicians," despite ICE being notified in advance of the child's urgent medical needs; their 7-year-old sibling was deported as well.
