Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

"They’re not supposed to be there."

I see all of you "Dark Woke" people out there...! You're fooling no one. 😀
