Trump Administration Seeks to Deport 4-Year-Old Who Could Die If She Loses Healthcare
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In more immigration news, the Trump administration has ordered the
removal of a 4-year-old girl from Mexico - despite the child's immediate
risk of death if she loses the medical treatment she's been receiving in
the United States. The girl came to the U.S. with her parents, who also
face expulsion and were granted permission to live in the country under
humanitarian grounds in 2023. The girl, identified only by her initials,
S.G.V., has been receiving care for her short bowel syndrome at the
Children's Hospital Los Angeles. One of the girl's physicians said that
if her treatment is interrupted, she could die in a matter of days.
