From the Daily Caller: Radio host Charlamagne Tha God called out the media on Monday for neglecting to mention that a two-year-old deported by President Donald Trump’s administration was sent back with her mother, who was not a legal citizen.

News outlets reported that the Trump administration deported three U.S. citizen children, but Secretary of State Marco Rubio on “Meet the Press” Sunday criticized the coverage as “misleading” due to focusing on the citizen children rather than their noncitizen mothers. When journalist Morgyn Wood discussed the two-year-old’s case on the “Front Page News” segment of “The Breakfast Club” and mentioned the toddler’s mother was not a citizen, Charlamagne said he was unaware of that fact despite consuming news of the incident.

“You know what, Morgyn, I did not know. I did not know until you said it about the two-year-old. I mean, I knew about the two-year-old getting deported, but all the news reports just kept saying that a two-year-old got deported,” Charlamagne said. “I didn’t know that the mother had got deported because she wasn’t a citizen … I didn’t know that.”

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported the illegal immigrant mothers of U.S. citizen children ages 7, 4 and 2 on Friday, The Washington Post reported. Government officials assert that the two mothers of the three children made the choice to bring them back to Honduras with them, according to the Post.

Rubio cleared up the issue in an interview on Meet The Press Sunday, as he explained, “Three U.S. citizens ages 4, 7 and 2 were not deported. Their mothers who were illegally in this country were deported. The children went with their mothers. The children are U.S. citizens, they can come back into the United States if their father, or someone here, wants to assume them.”
