Immigration

MS NOW - Trump once indicated he would protect undocumented minors from his hard-line immigration policies. But over two hours on a recent day, more than a dozen children, some as young as 12, filed into a Chicago courtroom for immigration hearings, writes Nnamdi Egwuonwu, who watched the hearings. The deportations have sped up after the Trump administration rescinded a policy that delayed them for young victims of abuse, abandonment or parental neglect who would be at risk if returned to their country of origin. Minors who would have typically appeared in court three or four times a year are returning every two weeks.
