> "When Julia objected, the officer threatened Julia that Jade would be immediately sent to a foster home in the United States if Julia did not write a note stating that Jade would be deported to Honduras with her."

The officer "threatened Julia" that the US citizen would stay in the US and not go with her during her deportation.

"Threatened" is a word written by her attorney. I would have said "explained."

Yes, those were her two options. Leave the US citizen in the US, or don't leave it. She made a choice. We didn't deport the kid.

The ad-hominem is cool, though.
