What usually happens if parents are deported? They stay in the US with somebody else?
This article says that authorities claim the mother wanted to take their child with them. Who knows if that’s true, but could mean the post has an inflammatory headline.

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.lawd.210781/gov.uscourts.lawd.210781.6.0_3.pdfIndeed. If you read the actual response... no deportation occurred for the 2 year old.
From the petitioner's council:
The officer overheard and said that V.M.L. would not be deported and explained that V.M.L.’s mother and sister had deportation orders.
From ICE:
Should her mother decide to allow Petitioner Mack and the purported father to take custody of V.M.L., V.M.L. is not prohibited from entering the United States.
The claim is that the father didn't identify himself (likely because of his own immigration status), so they couldn't release child to him. Since he didn't want to identify himself, any claim that the mother wanted to take the child with her must be held, no "friend" can take custody at that point. The only identified parent isn't consenting.
It looks like there was an exhibit referenced in the ICE response document. That exhibit is likely the letter they reference that the mother wrote.
It's a shit situation... It's not good in the slightest, but it isn't "American Citizen deported".
Mother can easily state that she would like to give custody to the petitioning "friend" and V.M.L. can return.

Fuck this.
That child is American. End of story. The constitution does not have age limits. That girl, and her fucking parents, should stay.
Any other fucking argument is selfish, evil and the person who thinks it should really ask themselves how fair it would be if they were deported as a u. S citizen. Because Trump doing this, and being allowed to, now sets a precedent for removing u. S citizens. Doesn't matter her age
She's a u.s. citizen. And was deported.
A u.s. citizen. Born in this country. Was deported
And some are supporting it.
That makes those doing so Collaborators.
Supporting this fucking move is not only evil, it's self destructive and stupid.

Is there no family visa for the immediate family of a US citizen?

Not an inflammatory headline. Completely accurate.

Just to add insult to injury: once she starts working, even if she never returns to the US... She will be required to file taxes.

This isn't quite true. You pay the difference of whatever local tax would cover. And foreign earned income exclusion is massive...(https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/foreign-earned-income-exclusion)... So even if you make 200k, you can exclude ~120k of it, and then the remaining 80k would have your local taxes deducted from it as well. You end up finding out that most people pay virtually nothing.
And if you don't intend on returning to the USA at all, there's not a lot of enforcement that can happen. The worst effect is that you can't renew your passport at a consulate from what I've seen.
I'm a dual citizen so I end up researching these weird topics a lot...

Good, I hope all children get deported. They take up our resources and don't pay taxes.

I want all of us to say this out loud to others today
Trump deported a 2 year old American citizen
He DEPORTED a 2 year old American citizen
Fucking Hitler come back. He is.
I will say this, as fucked as he made America right now, if we didn't have what safety rails we do have, we'd be seeing executions. That guy is a monster, a criminal, traitor, and a ticking time bomb.
It's not all on one man. One third of the country is seething with impotent, misguided rage and wants to kill at least another third of the country. None of what he has done, or will do, would be possible if this were not the case. He gives the orders, but thousands, millions of people are carrying them out.
I won't disagree. But I will say the danger he brings is the enablement. Never have so few, doomed so many
He's basically Pol Pot.
