NEW: The DOJ is mandating *all* immigration court staff (not just judges) make themselves available for six weeks to travel to remote courts, including on the weekends, between July and January to deal what it calls mass migration emergencies and enforcement initiatives.

(6,363 posts)A judge, likely white male, walking into some detention center may be news but its visuslly boring vs. unloading a group of shackled kids at foot of some urban courthouse steps.
Consistent with the Nazi playbook to manage the optics.

(19,201 posts)There is an acute need for more interpreters, because when many of these "cases" go before a judge there isn't an interpreter in the room. They're asking small children questions in English and when they can't answer they just steamroll on to the next case. The entire system is a kangaroo court. Due process is a joke to them!

Challenging Trumpsters Legitimization of Interning Migrant Youth as Resistance
First, she argued that the photo was a fake. Then, this Facebook friend of a friend argued that it doesnt matter what happens to these children.
Watching children being taken from their families and institutionalized by the thousands is heartbreaking. It feels so helpless to watch from my Blue state: my representatives in Congress dont need to be convinced. I have donated what I can to non-profits working on this issue. Im not a lawyer and dont speak enough Spanish to volunteer to help.
But what all of these lists going around with things to do are missing is ***challenging those justifying this new policy.****
Some of us are doing it already, and we must continue! Were holding facts and evidence up. We are challenging our friends, family, and neighbors when they legitimize whats happening.

(23,105 posts)No notice for extra clerical duty so they can track the children and reunite them when their parents get deported. Instead we have thousands of children living here with our government having no plans for them other than cages and jails. WTF, why are they getting rid of the parents but leaving the children here? This is very creepy and scary, don't trust their intentions, especially with a pedophile in charge. Peeping at naked teen beauty contestants, as he has bragged about, is child abuse! So sad that he and the man who HaATES every single person not a white male are in charge of these brown children and their parents an is delighting in torturing them. Did you see how big the evil elf was smiling at the presser? He's totally getting off on this, bet he jacks off at night playing the tapes of the babies screaming.

That just makes them more heinous.
But not so smart... the damning evidence is everywhere.
In other times, these types would be strapped
up by their ankles by angry mobs in the town square.
Today, we have to get out the vote and take over
both houses of Congress to get Justice.
We can do it.
