I agree that violent criminals who are here illegally should be deported. My question is: What violent crimes did 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and the 2-year-old daughter of Elvis Tipan-Echeverria commit? Rape? Robbery? Murder? Sexual abuse of a minor? Serious assault? Domestic violence? Stalking? Child abuse? Weapons trafficking? Trafficking controlled substances?

The Trump administration states ICE only arrests and deports violent criminals here illegally. They flew those children from Minnesota to a detention facility in Texas on a whim. It doesn’t pass the smell test.
