Children must be able to argue their case for asylum in front of a judge.

[blackbird]

Can you believe this?  Children have to argue their case for asylum in front of a judge.  Some appear by video link and are expected to know what is going on and what to do.  This is completely inhumane and absurd.   It appears many have been separated from their parents.

This whole thing gets more sickening by the day.

A far cry from the “bad, hard criminals” Donald Trump said his undocumented immigrants crackdown would focus on, record-breaking numbers of deportation orders have been issued to young immigrant children under the Trump administration, The Independent can reveal.

More kids aged 11 or under — 8,317 — received a removal order from an immigration court in April than any other month in over 35 years of data collection, according to court data from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC).

 

Since Trump’s inauguration in January, judges have ordered removals for over 53,000 immigrant minors.

Those children are predominantly elementary school age or younger. Some 15,000 children were aged under four years old, and 20,000 of them were children aged four to eleven.

Teenagers are also experiencing climbing deportations, with 17,000 seeing a court-ordered removal, although that’s lower than their all-time peak in 2020 under the first Trump administration.

Some of these children being deported are unaccompanied minors, who do not have a legal guardian in the US; though the exact number is unclear, since immigration authorities stopped recording this data years ago.

Children, including toddlers, are required to show up at immigration hearings to be questioned by a judge – and many, unsurprisingly, do not understand what is happening nor the gravity of their situation.

If only the democrats hadn't stopped having children. Now they're trying to replenish their ranks with illegal aliens. What a f*cking mess the democrat party created.

Children, including toddlers, are required to show up at immigration hearings to be questioned by a judge – and many, unsurprisingly, do not understand what is happening nor the gravity of their situation.

In one case, a source tells the Independent, a young child from Haiti had his immigration court hearing remotely in front of a screen. The child, who had a learning disability, was fidgeting and running around the room. Finally, he pointed at the judge on the screen and asked – “Who’s that?”

In other cases, children are being arrested by ICE with their families, but held in detention and deported separately.

“A six year old child was picked up [by ICE] with his father, separated from his dad, and parked in custody for four months before being deported,” a lawyer familiar with children's immigration cases told the Independent. The child was unable to receive legal assistance, as he was deported while federal legal funding had been cut."

Needless to say, this sounds like endless crimes against humanity.

What are you doing to help prevent illegal immigration, blackbird?

Yup, being a Christian nation gets you a constitution. It gets you law and order. It gives you a country you can call your own. I love it here! 

[blackbird]

Let us hope that the next administration has a full public investigation into this and fully prosecutes all those involved and responsible for crimes against humanity.  Perhaps the U.N. should be investigating this too but they are hamstrung by politics.  Being the most powerful nation with most of the money carries a lot of weight in the U.N.

Big surprise. Blackbird creates yet another thread defending illegal immigration.

Why? You ASSUMING they're all Maxicans? I mean you're sending them to El Salvador, Gitmo and Eswatini so you MAGAts don't really give a shit where they're from. Just snatch them and send them somewhere else who cares, right?

Who cares if you lived here 40 years, raised a family and have a Green card, you can't come in cuz some power tripping piggie in a uniform says so. Over pot conviction FFS, welcome to 1953

Because the country has been overwhelmed with illegal aliens. We need to ask Mexico, and any other country, to help sort this mess out IN Mexico. 

It might help to grab every f*cking democrat who supports illegal immigration (99.9%?) to get their asses to Mexico and assist with the mess their leaders created. 

Illegal aliens OUT, NOT IN. 

[herbie]

Of course you know ALL Democrats support illegal immigration. They're not all white, so they must be all black.

The simple thinking of simple minds.

[gatomontes99]

Oh FFS!

Liberals: "They aren't getting due process!"

They get due process

Liberals: "How dare you make them talk to a judge!"

These aren't serious people.

Maybe not all... but it certainly is what the party and their supporters in general support.
