@attorneygoldfinch: Unaccompanied migrant children, some as young as 5 years old, are appearing in immigration court without attorneys. Now, Bloomberg Law reports that they are being pressured to accept deportation in exchange for $3,000. According to the Acacia Center for Justice, immigration judges have reportedly presented these payments to children, sometimes describing them as one-time offers. These children may have legitimate claims to asylum or other protections, yet they are being pressured to make life-altering decisions without legal representation. Meanwhile, separate investigations have raised questions about whether promised departure payments are actually reaching migrants. I have yet to hear of anyone receiving these payments, and I’m highly skeptical that these children will receive them either. Children deserve protection, not bribes.

Any judge that has any part of this. Should be removed from the bench immediately. This whole mess needs to stop and they need to stop separating kids from parents. It’s just more fear, harassment, and intimidation.

And yet, they hold themselves out as Christians, Christians care for children, they don't railroad them. This makes me sick.

I never imagined that everyone in the GOP is just waiting to fleece the American tax payer but at every turn our money is disappearing into unknown pockets.

A five yr old would self deport for a really cool hot wheel car. Our government is cruel and depraved. A child can not comprehend or participate in this court process. They would never be ruled competent by a psychologist.

Kinda feels, Idk, wrong on many levels. How can they defend themselves if they are children? We don't let minors sign a legal contract, yet we are allowing children to enter into a contract by removing them.
