Trump officials deported two-year-old US citizen ‘with no meaningful process’, judge says

Vivian Maldonado, a two-year-old U.S. citizen, was deported without proper legal procedures, sparking outrage from federal judge Terry Doughty and civil rights groups amid Trump's harsh immigration policies. ICE increasingly subjects immigrants to arbitrary enforcement actions, leading to deportations under new guidelines that clash with legal standards, raising concerns about potential misuse of power by ICE. The U.S. Supreme Court has underscored the need for proper legal protections for those facing deportation orders.
