**SUMMARY:**
US Citizen Child Deported to Honduras with Mother
Five-year-old Génesis Ester Gutiérrez Castellanos, a US citizen, was deported to Honduras alongside her mother on January 11, 2025, despite being born in the United States.
Key Details:
ICE agents executed a 2019 deportation order against the mother, Karen Gutiérrez, 26, who had been living in the US since 2018
The child had never been to Honduras before and was separated from her life in Austin, Texas, including school, cousins, and teachers
Mother and daughter were detained for nearly a week in a hotel 80 miles from home without access to a lawyer or hearing before deportation
The mother had a pending U visa application for domestic violence victims that was still being processed due to severe backlogs
ICE agents reportedly could not locate the pair in the agency’s database, possibly because they were held in a hotel rather than a detention center
The mother plans to send Génesis back to the US with another relative so she can continue her life there
An estimated 5.3 million US citizen children under 18 live with at least one unauthorized immigrant parent in the US
This case highlights the impact of Trump administration deportation policies on families with US citizen children, raising concerns about procedural violations and the difficult choices families face between staying together or separating to preserve children’s futures in America.

Americans, sorry to say, but since you are a democracy, this in on you. The racist jokes and the Sieg Heils during the rallies, the fake stories about immigrants eating pets, the fact that you elected him, and that he has 43% approval ratio. It all goes together.

Do you think the deportation of children that are US citizens and the execution of citizens at ICE will be remembered at election time?

The US regime right now: “So you’re saying there’s at least 5.3 million we still have to deport? Challenge accepted”

Don’t forget that all it takes for YOU to be an illegal is the gestapo telling everyone that you are.

This is one of the things I hate most about the situation we find ourselves in. Citizens being detained and deported. But what makes it worse, the rationalizing done by supporters. Constantly it’s “with so many, of course they’ll make a mistake along the way” which is so antithetical to this country. One person being unlawfully detained is bad enough. But that person being deported should be a full stop red line for all. And it’s not. That is just fucking disgraceful.

Why does the media refuse to use the right terminology? You can’t deport a citizen from your own country. She was exiled without due process, aka trafficked.
Whoa. Are they seriously thinking about deporting 5.3M children under the age of 18 to a country they don’t know because of their parent’s status?

You don’t “deport” a U.S. citizen to another country. You kidnap them and traffic them to a foreign country.

The incompetence of this administration. When will a judge do something that actually works? Bc they are leaving us citizens to fight on our own which leads to violence. Thanks Judges!

I heard a piece (I think it was on *On the Media* for the week of 1/19/2026) in which the guest stated that ICE/CBP trusts facial recognition more than a US birth certificate for establishing US citizenshiip.
I wonder if that was the case here?
In which case that suggests that ICE/CBP has a facial recognition database of toddlers.

It’s fucking sad that the only goodness I found in this, knowing at least she was with her mother during this experience/incident.
Everyone who’s involved needs to be prosecuted. The mother has her application pending. WTF else do you want her to do!??

So this is the rapist, murderer, criminal that Trump says is “invading” our nation ? what a bunch of crap, this is just disgusting and completely devoid of any humanity. The agents that did this should be disgusted with themselves.

Trafficked. Fucking media needs to use more accurate words. A US citizen or legal resident removed without their consent should be considered trafficked.

“The Migration Policy Institute [estimates](https://www.migrationpolicy.org/sites/default/files/publications/mpi-unauthorized-immigrants-fact-sheet-2025_FINAL.pdf) that of the 6.3 million children under the age of 18 living with at least one unauthorised immigrant parent in the US, 5.3 million are US citizens.”
