    Default Leaked Photo Reveals 'Mass Trial' Of Immigrants In Texas

    This is American due process under trump.

    "A leaked photo showing a federal courtroom packed with dozens of immigrants in orange jumpsuits undergoing a "mass trial" in Texas has shed a light on an increasingly common practice. While it is unclear who took the image, journalist Debbie Nathan, who first came across it while covering mass trials in Texas, believes it was taken in Pecos, a small town around 70 miles southwest of Odessa by someone who did not feel comfortable with the effects of the Trump administration's new "zero tolerance" policy on people caught crossing into the U.S. illegally.

    Nathan told Newsweek a number of members of the legal community had told her about the photo before she found it on social media.

    The journalist said that, in recent months, she has seen similar mass trials in Brownsville and El Paso and added they were some of the most upsetting things she has witnessed in her three decades of covering border and immigration issues.

    "I've seen as many as 40, 41, 42 people all let in, men and women, all shackled at the waist, shackled at the feet, their hands shackled to their waist chains," Nathan said. "It's a very dehumanizing process," the journalist said. "You're just like, how could this possibly be considered American due process?"

    "In late April, magistrates’ courts in Brownsville suddenly turned into “zero tolerance” factories for criminalizing migrants, many of whom have no prior criminal record. Many are from murderously violent countries in Central America and have fled to the U.S. seeking asylum, and they often arrive with children in tow. It used to be rare to charge migrants seeking asylum with crimes. If they did so, they were put into detention with their children while they pursued their claims. Or they were released with supervision — along with their children. The best interests of the children were considered paramount, and those interests including keeping families together...

    ...the spectacle of dozens of migrants being convicted and sentenced en masse, in proceedings lasting just a few minutes and with only the most perfunctory legal representation, has shocked courthouse employees. And not just in Brownsville. Taking photographs of federal court proceedings is strictly forbidden. But in the federal courthouse in Pecos, Texas, someone apparently felt so bad about the new policies that they secretly shot a photo — obtained by The Intercept and published at the top of this page — of dozens of immigrants clogging a court in orange jumpsuits..."

    This has been going on since 2005 and has nothing to do with Pelosi. It got worse with trump's zero tolerance policy because of the child separation aspect.

    "Magistrate courts have also adopted the practice of hearing criminal immigration cases en masse, meaning that multiple persons (as many as 50 to 100) appear at the same time before a judge. Judges and defense attorneys have criticized this procedure for undermining due-process rights.

    In December 2009, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that en masse hearings violated a federal rule governing consideration and acceptance of guilty pleas. According to testimony before the U.S. Sentencing Commission, relevant magistrates have since reviewed their court procedures to guarantee that each defendant is personally questioned in order to ensure that all pleas are voluntary.

    Procedures are so sketchy that over 1000 children were "lost" in the system. And because of HHS sloppiness, kids were placed with human traffickers... the mind boggles.

    "A top official with the Department of Health and Human Services told members of Congress on Thursday that the agency had lost track of nearly 1,500 migrant children it placed with sponsors in the United States, raising concerns they could end up in the hands of human traffickers or be used as laborers by people posing as relatives. The official, Steven Wagner, the acting assistant secretary of the agency’s Administration for Children and Families, disclosed during testimony before a Senate homeland security subcommittee that the agency had learned of the missing children after placing calls to the people who took responsibility for them when they were released from government custody.

    The children were taken into government care after they showed up alone at the Southwest border. Most of the children are from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, and were fleeing drug cartels, gang violence and domestic abuse, government data shows...

    Two years ago the subcommittee released a report detailing how health and human services officials placed eight children with human traffickers who forced the minors to work on an egg farm in Marion, Ohio. The report found that department officials had failed to establish procedures to protect the unaccompanied minors, such as conducting sufficient background checks on potential sponsors and following up with sponsors. As a result, the children were turned over to the people who contracted them out to the egg farm."

    Do the words "convicted and sentenced en masse" mean something different to you than to the rest of us? I challenge you to find the word "arraignment" in either of my links.

    Let's pretend for a moment that there was yet another Trump LoveMeLongTimePetMyEgoMakeAmericaHateAgain rally. Followers got so excited that they rushed outside, energized and pumped-up due to Der Gropingfuehrer's rousing speechifying, and they then ran amuck through the surrounding area. Plastic cups and straws and MAGA posters were strewn about. Potted plants on the sidewalks were tipped over. There was joyful urination in the alleys. Women were seized and groped. A few not-light-faced ppl were punched. Cops -- there to keep the anti-Toadstool crowds under control -- were forced to make mass arrests for all the mayhem. On the next court day, all the arrested revelers were present at the bench in orange (how appropriate!!!) jumpsuits. There was no arraignment. Just a quick mass trial -- you guys were nutzo -- and then the sentencing. 30 days of community service in the closest ghetto! Oh no! The pain, the agony, the unfairness, the outrage, the Fox News coverage, the Tweets from Twittler!

    Yeah.

    Apparently you're far too simplistic to understand the difference between asylum-seekers and border-sneakers. Quelle surprise.
