The removals of three young U.S. citizens have intensified concerns about whether the Trump administration is violating the rights of citizens and noncitizens.

Three US citizen children were deported to Honduras with their mothers last week, including a 4-year-old receiving treatment for metastatic cancer, according to the families’ attorneys and civil rights and immigration advocacy organizations.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday defended President Trump’s approach to tariffs as an embrace of “strategic uncertainty” to establish leverage over foreign nations, and said the administration was looking to strike short-term agreements in principle — rather than detailed trade deals — to ease trade tensions.
