A 2-month-old U.S. citizen was deported to Mexico by ICE after hospitalization, sparking outrage over treatment of detained families.

A two-month-old infant, Juan Nicolás, was deported to Mexico by ICE after being hospitalized for bronchitis while detained at the Dilley family detention center in Texas, according to Rep. Joaquin Castro. The baby, along with his parents and 16-month-old sister, was released with only $190 in commissary funds and abandoned at the U.S.-Mexico border despite ongoing medical concerns. Castro condemned the action as inhumane, highlighting the family’s vulnerable condition and calling for accountability. The case has intensified scrutiny over ICE’s treatment of detained children and medical care in immigration facilities.
