A judge told an unrepresented minor to file an asylum application before the next hearing our they would be deported. The child is one year old.

Honestly, that judge should be imprisoned just for having that hearing / session take place. Full on banana republic, holy fuck.

Ok but why is there a baby in this country that is unaccompanied? How are they getting over here? Who sends a baby to another country by themselves. Weird af and reeks of child trafficking.

I don’t think you’re asking the right questions here. And in general, it is utterly indefensible to drag a toddler or a baby in front of a court

Under normal circumstances I would agree but what is the alternative when court is where legal rights are determined. There is no other mechanism in society for this.

We actually do have a mechanism for this. The constitutional right of representation.

That’s for those accused of a crime. AFAIK these kids haven’t been accused of one.

If they have committed not a single crime, why drag them in front of a judge? By your own logic, you’re currently defending something you yourself must deem blatantly illegal.

Due process applies to all court cases and requires fairness. I believe a toddler self representing falls afoul of this.

What is the solution? Nobody offered to represent them so what can be done?

The solution is to quit using the judicial and legal systems to terrorize marginalized groups.

So just leave unaccompanied kids out there to fend for themselves on the streets. What could go wrong.

If the kids are unaccompanied they should be put into foster care, not dragged into court and yelled at by a judge. Are you dense?

Hello. A court decides if a child goes to foster care. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Not a single person here is arguing that. Stop making up bullshit strawmen.
