‘I don’t recognize this country anymore’: Donald Trump orders deportation of 4-year-old with critical illness, ignores fact she could die within days

As if Donald Trump couldn’t get any more heartless, it turns out his administration has put the life of a four-year-old Mexican girl in danger by removing her humanitarian parole early. This means the young girl and her family are at risk of being deported which could result in her death.

Deysi Vargas was allowed to enter the U.S. with her daughter, Sofia Vargas in 2023 in order to receive medical treatment for a life threatening condition. According to the Los Angeles Times Sofia suffers from short bowel syndrome, a rare condition that prevents her body from absorbing the necessary nutrients from the food she eats.
