WASHINGTON: Three American children aged two, four and seven — one of whom has a rare form of cancer — have been deported from the United States alongside their undocumented immigrant mothers, campaigners announced on Sunday.

The deportations from the southern state of Louisiana come as President Donald Trump pursues a hard-line immigration policy, calling for mass expulsions of undocumented migrants. The administration of President Donald Trump contends one of the women asked for her child to be sent with her.
