A new lawsuit accuses ICE of having violated its own policies and federal laws when agents quietly arrested families including U.S. citizen children, denied them due process and then rapidly deported them to Honduras, ignoring legal filings challenging their removal. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of two mothers and their four children, including a 4-year-old boy with stage 4 kidney cancer. Lawyers for both families say the mothers were coerced into taking their children with them when they were deported, and were prohibited from contacting lawyers or family members after they were detained in Louisiana last April, following routine ICE check-ins. The 4-year-old boy, identified as Romeo, was receiving lifesaving cancer treatment at New Orleans Children’s Hospital before ICE deported him.
