纽约，2月7日（路透社） – 德克萨斯州联邦法院提起的一项诉讼称，一名18个月大的女童被美国移民当局拘留数周后，因患危及生命的呼吸道疾病住院，出院后被送回拘留所，且未获得所需药物治疗。
诉讼中称，这名被确认为”阿玛莉亚”的儿童在其父母周五提起诉讼后，由唐纳德·特朗普政府时期的移民当局释放。其父母也被拘留，同样获得释放。诉讼要求释放这一家三口。

根据诉讼，这家人于12月11日在与移民当局办理登记手续时被拘留，并被关押在德克萨斯州迪利的一个设施内。诉讼称，阿玛莉亚从1月18日至28日住院治疗，并在麻疹疫情期间被送回迪利设施。
“阿玛莉亚本不应该被拘留。她在迪利差点丧命，”这家人的律师埃洛拉·穆克吉表示。
穆克吉称，数百名被拘留的儿童和家庭在迪利缺乏足够的饮用水、健康食物、教育机会或适当的医疗护理，应该获释。
美国国土安全部周六未立即回应置评请求。

美国全国广播公司（NBC）新闻率先报道了这起诉讼。
特朗普政府被指控在执行大规模驱逐计划时采用了高压且不人道的手段，同时违反法院命令。
密歇根州一名联邦法官在1月31日的裁决中批评了该政府，该裁决要求释放一名5岁男童——这名男童在一张病毒式传播的照片中戴着蓝色兔子帽站在屋外，而联邦探员就在附近——他在明尼苏达州被移民特工拘留。目前政府正试图将该男孩驱逐出境。
根据诉讼，阿玛莉亚的父母来自委内瑞拉，2024年起与身为墨西哥公民的女儿在美国生活。诉讼称，一家三口均打算在美国申请庇护。
诉讼称，阿玛莉亚于1月1日出现发烧症状，最高达华氏104度（40摄氏度），开始频繁呕吐并出现呼吸困难。
1月18日，她因极低的血氧饱和度被送往医院，诊断出患有新冠病毒、呼吸道合胞病毒、病毒性支气管炎和肺炎，诉讼称，她被给予补充氧气。
出院时，阿玛莉亚获得了雾化器和呼吸药物，但返回拘留中心后被工作人员没收。诉讼称，这名女童体重下降了10%，获得营养饮料以帮助恢复体重，但这些也被当局没收。

Toddler was returned to ICE custody and denied medication after hospitalization, lawsuit says
February 8, 2026 2:30 AM UTC / Reuters
NEW YORK, Feb 7 (Reuters) – An 18-month-old girl detained for weeks by U.S. immigration authorities was returned to custody and denied medication after being hospitalized with a life-threatening respiratory illness, according to a lawsuit filed in Texas federal court.
The child, identified in the lawsuit as “Amalia,” was released by immigration authorities in President Donald Trump’s administration after her parents sued on Friday. The parents, who also had been detained, were released as well. The suit had sought the release of all three of them.

The family was detained during a check-in with immigration authorities on December 11 and held at a facility in Dilley, Texas, according to the lawsuit. Amalia was hospitalized from January 18 to 28, and returned to the Dilley facility in the midst of a measles outbreak, the lawsuit said.
“Baby Amalia should never have been detained. She nearly died at Dilley,” said Elora Mukherjee, an attorney for the family.
Mukherjee said hundreds of children and families detained at Dilley lack sufficient drinking water, healthy food, educational opportunities or proper medical care, and should be released.
The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Saturday.

NBC News first reported on the lawsuit.
Trump’s administration has been accused of heavy-handed and inhumane tactics as well as violating court orders while carrying out his mass deportation program.
A federal judge in Michigan criticized the administration in a January 31 ruling ordering the release of a 5-year-old boy – seen in a viral photo wearing a blue bunny hat outside his house as federal agents stood nearby – who was detained by immigration agents in Minnesota. The administration is now seeking to deport the boy.
Amalia’s parents, originally from Venezuela, have lived in the United States since 2024 with their daughter, who is a Mexican citizen, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit says all three intend to file asylum applications in the United States.
Amalia developed a fever on January 1 that reached as high as 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius), started vomiting frequently and struggled to breathe, according to the lawsuit.
She was taken to the hospital on January 18 with extremely low oxygen saturation levels and diagnosed with COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus, viral bronchitis and pneumonia, according to the lawsuit. She was placed on supplemental oxygen.
Amalia was given a nebulizer and a respiratory medication upon her discharge from the hospital, but these were taken away by detention center staff upon her return, according to the lawsuit. The girl has lost 10% of her body weight and was given nutritional drinks to help her regain it, but these were also confiscated by authorities, according to the lawsuit.
