I have no idea what is happening in different areas but in some cases children of inmates are taken away- parental rights severed and children are adopted out frequently. It depends on the individual circumstances- as it also does for illegal aliens. Most illegals have the option of taking their citizen children with them when deported or leaving them in the U.S. with family or others of their choice. Individual circumstances determine each case. If there is child abuse, other criminal charges on the parents, etc, then the children can be taken away just like the children of anyone can be taken away depending on circumstances.
This article is written to cause confusion and support for illegals that are being deported. When parents make a CHOICE to break the law, they do put their parental rights in danger- and every day in this country parental rights are taken away from citizen inmates for a variety of reasons.

It doesn’t happen “frequently,” and only in extreme cases (one parent murders another, or the parent injured the child).
And I’m not defending illegal immigration. I think she should be deported and her minor children should go with her, even if they’re U.S. citizens, if she doesn’t have a U.S. family to care for them. But it should be HER decision — not the state’s.
Anything else is kidnapping.
