A 2-year-old American girl has been left stateless after the Trump administration deported her alongside her family.

Emanuelly Borges Santos, known to her family as Manu, was born in a Florida hospital in 2022. She has an American passport and a Social Security card. Nevertheless, Manu and her parents, who are both undocumented, were packed onto a plane with 94 others and shipped to Brazil in February, according to a report from The Washington Post.

When they arrived, Brazilian officials were shocked to find the American toddler among the deportees.

“We’d never seen another case like this,” federal police officer Alexsandra Oliveira Medeiros Reis told the Post.

    It’s things like this where at times I wish there was a god and these people would actually have to stand in judgment and defend themselves

        I picture God, if there is one, as a researcher who is doing some kind of research on the plants and animals in an Earth shaped petri dish. He may have intervened in ancient times until he got the initial parameters he wanted but now he’s just monitoring and taking notes. Someday he’ll finish up and kill everything and start the dissection phase.

        Yup. IF God exists, he either doesn’t care for us at all, or is actively evil.

        Similar to like if we created a swamp somewhere and there was bacteria growing in it. We’d give no fucks, or poison the bacteria by dumping toxic shit in it.

      These people wouldn’t stand before God. They would immediately get a one way ticket to hell. As they did not allow due process in life, they will not get it in death.

        Ironically and hypocritically many of them are devout Christians.

        I saw somewhere recently trump still has a massive approval rating from evangelicals/protestants.

          Devout isn’t the right word there. Saying they are devout means that they have a deep commitment to their faith. That is clearly not true. These people may claim to read their holy book, but they clearly don’t understand the slightest bit of it, well nothing in the new testament certainly. They love the old, first testament, fire-and-brimstone God that tells his followers to kill their enemies down to the last man, woman, or child. They have no interest in reading the woke Jesus stuff.
