When challenged in court, the lawyer representing DHS said our request had been made by either their parent or legal guardian to justify deporting these children. A federal judge found that statement [by DHS lawyer] had no support. In other words, no evidence that the parents have been asked. That statement by the lawyer representing DHS was false. That was a lie. Yes or no, ma'? Am? (01:11–01:17)
