Deysi Vargas and her 4-year-old daughter were granted temporary humanitarian permission to enter the U.S. in 2023 due to a life-threatening condition

A critically ill Mexican girl who could die within days if her treatment is paused has been ordered by the Trump administration to leave the U.S., according to her family and doctor.

Deysi Vargas’s 4-year-old daughter, named only as Sofia in a GoFundMe page, urgently required better medical care for a life-threatening condition and was granted temporary humanitarian permission to enter the U.S. from her home country of Mexico in 2023, The Los Angeles Times reports.

Sofia has short bowel syndrome, a rare condition that stops her from absorbing nutrients in food. When she was born in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, she had to be attached to feeding tubes 24 hours a day. Since moving to the U.S., her condition has significantly improved, but she still requires treatment every day.

Now the Trump administration has ordered Sofia’s deportation, leaving her at risk of death, an attorney representing the family said.

    Is Trump currently going to hell? We can all repent but I’d really like to see his Christian supporters noodle that one.

      There are a segment of Christians that truly believe he is the second coming of Jesus.

      They are absolutely bananas but they exist and, perhaps more importantly, they vote.

      • See I’ve always been confused by that. Isn’t “the second coming of Jesus” a bad thing? I was raised in a baptist household and my family was always harping on about how we live in the end times and about different people that might be the antichrist.

      Is Trump currently going to hell?

      Impossible. He’s part of the “Pro-Life” party. Sure, it looks like he’s participating in the genocide over the million-odd Palestinians in Gaza (average age 18) and rounding up every brown person with the wrong accent south of Canada for the concentration camps. Absolutely, he’s dismantling our modern health care system at the insistence of Silicon Valley Eugenicists. Clearly, he’s cementing our fossil fuel industry in place in order to broil the planet.

      But have you considered the zillions of unborn he’s saved? That’s a ticket through the Pearly Gates for sure.
