The removals of three young U.S. citizens have intensified concerns about whether the Trump administration is violating the rights of citizens and noncitizens.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday defended President Trump’s approach to tariffs as an embrace of “strategic uncertainty” to establish leverage over foreign nations, and said the administration was looking to strike short-term agreements in principle — rather than detailed trade deals — to ease trade tensions.

A federal judge said Friday a two-year-old US citizen was deported with her mother to Honduras. The Trump administration says her mother asked officials to take her with her, documents show.
