Democrats and their media allies worked overtime on Sunday to convince viewers that President Donald Trump had crossed a supposed red line by deporting American citizens, specifically, minor children. However, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarified, that is not what happened.

For those who didn’t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television—or their afternoons sifting through the week’s media spin—The Daily Wire put together a brief summary of what you may have missed.

Debate over illegal immigration and Trump’s ambitious mass deportation plan has been fierce long before his reelection in November 2024. As his administration began delivering on its promise to deport large numbers of illegal aliens, starting with those who committed additional crimes, polls showed a clear majority of Americans supporting the move, favoring the deportation of all illegal immigrants.

But opponents of Trump’s policies have thrown caution aside, choosing to side with illegal immigrants, including defending a member of a transnational gang and a judge charged with helping an illegal immigrant evade capture.

When news broke that three American citizen children, aged two, four, and seven, were relocated with their illegal immigrant mother during her deportation, critics believed they had finally found the narrative they had long been hoping for.

By Sunday morning, the narrative was firmly in place: Trump’s Department of Homeland Security was allegedly deporting minor children who were American citizens.

On CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” host Margaret Brennan confronted Border Czar Tom Homan with the story. Homan, caught off guard, said he was not familiar with that specific case.

“On Friday, there were three American citizen children, born here, who were deported along with their mothers from Louisiana down to Honduras,” Brennan began, noting that one of the three children was a four-year-old who had stage-four cancer and saying that the child had been sent to Honduras without being allowed to first speak with a doctor “and without medication.”

“I understand this child’s mother entered this country illegally, but isn’t there some basis for compassionate consideration here that should have allowed for more consultation or treatment?” Brennan asked.

Homan objected to Brennan’s framing of the question, saying that he was not familiar with the specific case but adding, “No U.S. citizen child was deported.”

“The mother was deported along with the children,” Brennan insisted.

“The children aren’t deported,” Homan said again. “The mother chose to take the children with her.”

“Having a U.S. citizen child after you enter this country illegally is not a get out of jail free card. It doesn’t make you immune from our laws,” he added.
