A federal judge in Louisiana known for his rulings that tend to align with causes championed by Donald Trump says that the president’s administration may have deported a 2-year-old girl who is a U.S. citizen, and has ordered the government to explain itself.

U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty, appointed by Trump in 2018, issued a memorandum order Friday setting a hearing to address the apparent deportation of a 2-year-old identified only as V.M.L. According to a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, or a request that court determine whether a person’s detention is unlawful, V.M.L. was born in 2023 in Baton Rouge, as indicated on her birth certificate.
