U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty has expressed concerns over the Trump administration's deportation practices, particularly highlighting the case of a 2-year-old U.S. citizen deported with his undocumented mother without due process. Additionally, 238 Venezuelan migrants were transported to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador under a rarely used law, despite most having no criminal convictions, raising questions about the administration's justification of labeling them as terrorists. These incidents, along with reports from the ACLU about other U.S. citizen children being deported, have sparked legal scrutiny and public debate over the transparency, legality, and ethics of current immigration policies.
