A 2-year-old American girl has been left stateless after the Trump administration deported her alongside her family.
Emanuelly Borges Santos, known to her family as Manu, was born in a Florida hospital in 2022. She has an American passport and a Social Security card. Nevertheless, Manu and her parents, who are both undocumented, were packed onto a plane with 94 others and shipped to Brazil in February, according to a report from The Washington Post.
When they arrived, Brazilian officials were shocked to find the American toddler among the deportees.
“We’d never seen another case like this,” federal police officer Alexsandra Oliveira Medeiros Reis told the Post.
she must be a gang member, right?
I won’t believe it until I see her arial font tats
All the cool kids are getting tatted in comic sans now. It’s how you know they’re hard core.
She’s brown, though, so why are we supposed to care? She’ll likely grow up to be a criminal or something, so it’s fine. Expedient, even.
If we take care of them at 2 years old, that’s less crime later. This is a good thing, if you really think about it.
And now I need to go take a shower just for typing that out loud.
There really is no good answer to the problem Trump has created here:
-
Deport a US citizen because her parents are undocumented.
-
Deport the parents and put the kid in
a cagefoster care, separating the family. -
Deny her birthright citizenship.
-
Acknowledge that the parents are undocumented but allow them to stay because “anchor baby”.
Really what needs to happen is you give the parents a path to citizenship, but Trump would never allow that.
I see a fifth option. All US passports include this message:
The Secretary of State of the United States of America hereby requests all whom it may concern to permit the citizen/national of the United States named herein to pass without delay or hindrance and in case of need to give all lawful aid and protection.
So, since Marco Rubio is so concerned with all US citizens’ lawful aid and protection, someone should escort her back to the US, drop her off with her US passport at the Rubio house, and tell Marco that it’s his job to help her out. It says it right there!
I’ll be damned, it’s RIGHT THERE! How did I miss that?
It even says it in other languages, so people form shithole countries can read it too
Your last is the solution. Reform immigration from the ground up.

They said they were going to do this. Someone asked what about the kids born in America and they answered they will be deported/sent with the parents. This is what you voted for protest non voters.
Thanks obama
plane with 94 others and shipped to Brazil
She’s safer with her parents than being alone in the (now fascist) US, so it’s actually better this way. Anywhere that isn’t a US concentration camp or authoritarians running a camp on the US’s behalf, is a safer place to be.
She’s still a US citizen. In the future, after the US de-nazifies, she can still get a passport from the US embassy and come back.
That 2 Year Old girl was a CRIMINAL!
-People who voted for the Convicted Felon!
