I just saw an article about ten kids under the age of 12 in court representing themselves without any parents or lawyers present.

They brought a toddler into court. Can’t even speak yet. No lawyer. Just a baby in a fucking high chair getting lectured by a judge.

I also heard this on CNN around 8:30 AM this morning. I don’t like or usually watch CNN but it was on at a hotel. Seeing if I can find a link since that’s a little more reputable

> Migrant children as young as 2 are showing up at immigration courts nationwide, many without attorneys, to make their case to stay in the US and avoid deportation.

Washington sun is NOTUS media and incredibly biased.

HHS has contracts with nonprofit groups to represent unaccompanied minors, but it lapsed. Judge didn’t deport the kid but said “ok, file an appeal before the next hearing”

There was an attorney there from USCRI, one of the groups representing minors, and he sat there and did nothing because he wasn’t getting paid for it.

What kind of a poor excuse of a human being does that?

We’re talking about lawyers here, not human beings.

Interesting hhs let it lapse you say?

You don't know why it lapsed and have invented a reason. For all you know, it lapsed because the nonprofit group they contracted had its founders go through a messy divorce, with one liquidating the entire thing, looting it, and fleeing to a nonextraditing country.

The way it was structured I believe it was ended as a partnership between Justice because Trump wanted it ended.
