Deysi Vargas and her 4-year-old daughter were granted temporary humanitarian permission to enter the U.S. in 2023 due to a life-threatening condition

A critically ill Mexican girl who could die within days if her treatment is paused has been ordered by the Trump administration to leave the U.S., according to her family and doctor.

Deysi Vargas’s 4-year-old daughter, named only as Sofia in a GoFundMe page, urgently required better medical care for a life-threatening condition and was granted temporary humanitarian permission to enter the U.S. from her home country of Mexico in 2023, The Los Angeles Times reports.

Sofia has short bowel syndrome, a rare condition that stops her from absorbing nutrients in food. When she was born in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, she had to be attached to feeding tubes 24 hours a day. Since moving to the U.S., her condition has significantly improved, but she still requires treatment every day.

Now the Trump administration has ordered Sofia’s deportation, leaving her at risk of death, an attorney representing the family said.

    Cruelty is the point.

    Remember when America would criticize some foreign country for their mistreatment of someone, or inability to treat an individual with a medical issue, and we would take them in and make a big public fuss about it?

    The Republicans sure as hell don’t.

    They used to be a little better at hiding how cartoonishly evil they are, but they just don’t care anymore. The average Republican is cheering this kind of thing on.

    They’re doing this to incite violent riots so they can justify imposing martial law.

      Don’t take this as a defense of the current administration but this is a baseless thing to say and honestly nothing points at this being the case. They are just doing everything carelessly and without any regards for decency or due process in order to deliver on their promise to export all immigrants. This is the bone they throw to their base in order to maintain support while they grift their assess off pulling all kinds of corruption behind the scenes. It’s clear at this point that there is no ideological backing to Trump, it’s all about enriching himself.

      But here’s why these happens: they are not looking at each case individually they are simply canceling visas en masse hoping that cases like this will self flag. Which was the case here. It’s not a good way to go about things but the conman ran on doing just this, this is what the voters chose and in a way it’s his duty to do so. I don’t agree with it but that’s democracy at work.

      Second there’s no mechanism for a president to declare martial law. I mean he can declare it as much as you can declare you’re brankrupt, but that is not the same thing as going through the process of bankruptcy. The only ones that can actually declare martial law are the states. There are various laws that prevent the deployment of the military inside the US in such a way.

      Of course you could retort with something along the lines of “do you think the laws still matter?”. In which case we can sit here and dream up all kinds of things they could do if they really wanted to do what you say. Like start rounding up immigrants and shooting them on the spot. Or maybe they could start bombing sanctuary cities. Why not drop a nuke in Chicago? It’s all game since the laws don’t matter and they explicitly want people to revolt. Hell why not put everyone that is registered as a democrat behind bars, that’ll do it in a day.

      It is not even clear to me that a martial law would be successful in the US except in the cities. Too much space, too many armed people. So please stay grounded in reality.

      • You sure about that? Would you be willing to bet your life on it. Bcz I sure wouldnt. At this point, its hard to tell what’s intentional, and what isn’t.

        Oh, please. Want to buy some waterfront property? It’s on the moon, but eh.

        They are absolutely trying to push people over the edge. And the human trafficking is so he can disappear political opponents. Fucker has already threatened to start doing exactly that.

      Sounds like something someone trying to prevent people from rising up would say.

      “Just accept it because if you don’t you’ll get martial law and it will be worse!

      You should read Psalm 137:9. Literally throwing babies against rocks to kill them is a blessing.

      There is no translation that can be interpreted as anything else:

      King James Bible Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

      Contemporary English Version May the Lord bless everyone who beats your children against the rocks!

      GOD’S WORD® Translation Blessed is the one who grabs your little children and smashes them against a rock.

      The entire Bible is full of insane shit like that.

      I don’t believe anyone who says they’ve read the Bible and still choose to be Christian. That would either make them a liar or deranged.

    Is Trump currently going to hell? We can all repent but I’d really like to see his Christian supporters noodle that one.

      There are a segment of Christians that truly believe he is the second coming of Jesus.

      They are absolutely bananas but they exist and, perhaps more importantly, they vote.

        Fucker haven’t read the bible. If it wss real he be the fucking antichrist their bible warned them about. Fucking dumb fucks.

      • See I’ve always been confused by that. Isn’t “the second coming of Jesus” a bad thing? I was raised in a baptist household and my family was always harping on about how we live in the end times and about different people that might be the antichrist.

      Is Trump currently going to hell?

      Impossible. He’s part of the “Pro-Life” party. Sure, it looks like he’s participating in the genocide over the million-odd Palestinians in Gaza (average age 18) and rounding up every brown person with the wrong accent south of Canada for the concentration camps. Absolutely, he’s dismantling our modern health care system at the insistence of Silicon Valley Eugenicists. Clearly, he’s cementing our fossil fuel industry in place in order to broil the planet.

      But have you considered the zillions of unborn he’s saved? That’s a ticket through the Pearly Gates for sure.

        Sorry that’s a lot nonsense. It isn’t our place to judge. I don’t see evidence Trump believes in Jesus as God. But maybe in his heart he believes and he’s just a deeply flawed and pathetic person suffering behind he scenes.

        He’s clearly a liar and a monumental sinner. But I won’t say either way if he’s damned. But if you’re one of those cuckoos who think he’s Gods messenger or sent by God that very statement is counter to everything in the Bible.
