Secretary of State Marco Rubio has come under fire for defending the recent deportation of three children who are U.S. citizens, arguing that their mothers could have left them behind in the U.S. Rubio stated that the children 'can come back,' downplaying the impact of their removal.
He also pushed back against what he called 'misleading' reports about the situation, insisting the facts were being distorted. The controversy centers on the deportation of undocumented mothers, which resulted in their U.S. citizen children being forced to leave the country as well.
The incident has reignited debate over immigration policy and the treatment of mixed-status families.
