For more on the story of the three deported American citizens, we turn now to our White House correspondent, Laura Barone Lopez. So Laura, tell us more about these three U.S. citizens and what we know about their cases so far.

So in one of the cases, it's two U.S. citizen siblings, a four-year-old and a seven-year-old who were deported with her undocumented mother to Honduras within 24 hours after being detained.

And that four-year-old is a boy who has late-stage cancer and he had no medication with him.

The undocumented mother of these two children had a removal order for not appearing at a hearing

shortly after she came to the United States as an unaccompanied minor years ago.

She was not aware of that removal order.

Now, in the other case, the third child is a two-year-old girl who was referred to in court

filings with the initials.

VML.

She was also deported to Honduras with her mother, that two-year-old is a U.S. citizen,

and they were deported roughly three days after being held for three days in detention. And in VML's case, a federal judge said over the weekend, it is their, quote,

strong suspicion that the government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process.

In both cases, the undocumented immigrant mothers were appearing for routine check-ins with

immigration officials, with their

children. And we have previously reported that there were other U.S. citizen children deported.

So in all, under the Trump administration, by our account, there have been at least

seven U.S. citizen children who have been deported with their parents so far.

So you've heard the Trump administration say the children were deported with their mothers.

That's the mother's request. You spoke to lawyers for both of those families you just mentioned,

though. What are they saying about the Trump administration's argument?

I spoke to Serene Shabaya, who is representing the two-year-old, known as VML, and she's also

the executive director of the National Immigration Project.
