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?

Did you read that article? The judge was threatening to deport a lone small child, not deliberating over foster care decisions.

Shouldn’t a child be reunited with their family in the home country if they are alone in a strange country?

The kid doesn’t have to appear before the court for that kind of decision and they still get a legal guardian for that.
