A 2-year-old American girl has been left stateless after the Trump administration deported her alongside her family.

Emanuelly Borges Santos, known to her family as Manu, was born in a Florida hospital in 2022. She has an American passport and a Social Security card. Nevertheless, Manu and her parents, who are both undocumented, were packed onto a plane with 94 others and shipped to Brazil in February, according to a report from The Washington Post.

When they arrived, Brazilian officials were shocked to find the American toddler among the deportees.

“We’d never seen another case like this,” federal police officer Alexsandra Oliveira Medeiros Reis told the Post.

      I picture God, if there is one, as a researcher who is doing some kind of research on the plants and animals in an Earth shaped petri dish. He may have intervened in ancient times until he got the initial parameters he wanted but now he’s just monitoring and taking notes. Someday he’ll finish up and kill everything and start the dissection phase.

      Yup. IF God exists, he either doesn’t care for us at all, or is actively evil.

      Similar to like if we created a swamp somewhere and there was bacteria growing in it. We’d give no fucks, or poison the bacteria by dumping toxic shit in it.
