This is running on my local news at KTLA. They are going to have news conference sometime soon.Doctors for the child, who has a life-threatening medical condition, say that stopping her treatment could prove fatal within a matter of days.
Donald Trumps administration may have condemned a 4-year-old girl with a rare bowel condition to death by terminating her legal status as part of the presidents crackdown on immigration, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.
The young girl, who was identified by her initials S.G.V. by the Times, and her family were granted humanitarian permission to enter the U.S. legally from Mexico in 2023, so that she could receive treatment for short bowel syndrome, which prevents her from absorbing enough nutrients to remain healthy.
In a letter requested by the family, Dr. John Asenault, who treats S.G.V. every six weeks at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, said that any interruption in her daily nutrition regimen could prove fatal within a matter of days.
Arsenault said that patients such as S.G.V., who use an IV-administered nutrition system at home called Total Parenteral Nutrition, are typically not permitted to leave the country at all.

(440 posts)This is what our country has become under that heartless, soulless monster.
And people willingly voted for this kind of thing to happen. And no doubt, would do it again. What do they care?
We are lost. Whatever happened to "what you do to the least of my brothers you do to me?" Whatever happened to compassion and kindness and basic human decency?

Whoever flagged them for deportation is just as big of a POS as Trump is.

his handicapped nephew and stated he wanted to stop treatment and let the child die.
