The clan banished her because it is against the code to become mates with someone from another clan. And whether or not you and I may agree with that rule, that is the punishment for breaking the code. It is viewed as a betrayal to the clan, therefore the clan would not wish to have them among their ranks any longer.
Though I don't fully blame her for her kits' deaths, I did explain why she does share some blame above. And her mate abandoned her because he was heart-broken that their kits were dead, and blamed her.
(such as if someone you loved left the kids in the tub who then drowned on their watch, it would be extremely difficult to get over that - and relationships have actually ended after the kids are accidentally killed on one's watch)

I agree with that, but why did the Clan exile the
kits, who were only a few moons old? There were other queens in the Clan, surely, who could've taken them in, instead of them being exiled for their
mother breaking the code? (Just my opinion though.)
