Toddler separated from mother deported from the US returned to Venezuela

The Trump administration failed to legally address the separation of Maikelys Espinoza Bernal and her parents after they crossed into the U.S., despite clear evidence linking them to a gang. Both were deported, with the father ending up in El Salvador's maximum-security prison while the mother faced legal challenges in Venezuela. Critics argue that using the Alien Enemies Act and vague gang claims undermines proper legal safeguards and accountability for controlling migration into the U.S.
