Trump's border czar Tom Homan says the mothers had made the choice for their citizen children to be removed with them.

Three US citizen children were deported to Honduras with their mothers last week, including a 4-year-old receiving treatment for metastatic cancer, according to the families’ attorneys and civil rights and immigration advocacy organizations.

New Orleans Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials are said to have deported the two mothers and three children - aged two, four, and seven - from Louisiana to Honduras, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said in a statement.
