Child with Stage 4 cancer deported by ICE despite being US citizen, lawsuit says
Two Louisiana families allege ICE violated policies by deporting U.S. citizen children, including a 4-year-old cancer patient, without due process or opportunity to arrange medical care.
- On April 25, 2025, ICE deported Rosario, a Honduran mother, and her two U.S.-citizen children, including 4-year-old Romeo who has stage 4 kidney cancer, from Louisiana to Honduras.
- The deportations followed routine ICE check-ins which Rosario and Julia believed were scheduled, but both families were detained and barred from arranging care for their U.S.-citizen children before removal.
- The families were forcibly transported to a hotel, kept incommunicado, and flown to Honduras within hours, where Rosario described life as incredibly hard and lacking resources to care for her children.
- A federal lawsuit filed July 31 charges ICE with violating its own policies and constitutional rights by deporting three U.S.-born children without due process, while attorneys note Romeo’s cancer treatment and health face serious disruption.
- The lawsuit seeks the families’ return, accountability from ICE officials, and a jury trial, highlighting the legal and health implications of deporting vulnerable U.S. citizen children like Romeo amid ongoing disputes over consent.
