Mother and Child Set for Deportation | Louisville News

A Louisville judge has ordered the reunification of a one-year-old U.S. citizen with his mother—a woman in immigration custody who previously pleaded guilty to assault and endangerment after allegedly attempting to kill her newborn. Despite outcry from advocacy groups and lawmakers over child safety, the court ruled in favor of reunification, setting in motion plans for both mother and child to be deported to Guatemala. The child, currently in foster care, will be transferred to the mother’s attorney before being handed over to immigration officials. Efforts to halt the move are underway, but the state maintains custody decisions rest with the courts, which have already approved this controversial outcome.
