2-Month-Old Baby Juan Nicols & His Mother Were 'Abandoned Across the Border' Hours After He Was Hospitalized With Bronc
A recently hospitalized 2-month-old baby has been deported with his mother, father, and 16-month-old sister, U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro said Tuesday.
Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital on Monday night after spending nearly a month in federal custody at Dilley Family Detention Center, Univisions Lidia Terrazas first reported. In a Sunday evening social media post, Terrazas reported via Juans mother that he had another health episode about 3 a.m., during which he was choking on his own vomit.
Throughout the day Tuesday, Terrazas and Castro updated the public on Juan and his familys plight. The infant was briefly hospitalized with bronchitis, during which he became unresponsive overnight, before he was sent back to Dilley, said Castro.
Castro confirmed he was deported just hours later.

(14,165 posts)should scoop them up, put Juan Nicolas in the best hospital in Mexico, and make him and his mother a celebrity case. I know that's what I'd do if I were her.

2-month-old with bronchitis, family held at Dilley ICE facility deported to Mexico, Rep. Castro says
DILLEY, Texas A 2-month-old and his family, who were held at an immigration detention center in Dilley, have been deported to Mexico, U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro said Tuesday night.
The infant, who Castro identified as Juan Nicolás, was deported along with his mother, father and 16-month-old sister.
According to Castro, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported the family with only the money that they had in their commissary a total of $190."
The congressman also said he is focused on finding the family and ensuring their safety.
To unnecessarily deport a sick baby and his entire family is heinous, Castro said, in part, in a Tuesday night social media post.
