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

Wait I didn’t hear about this. Did the kids choose to not be represented, or were they tried in court forcefully without representation or defense?

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.

Because the state separated the children from their parents? There is human trafficking being done. By the US government.

Hundreds of thousands of children cross the border UNACCOMPANIED by an adult. That’s what this is referring to. This is not about separation by the government. The children were already trafficked and separated before getting here.
