Excuse me??

What world did we quantum leap into?

As the White House faces court orders to reunite families separated at the border, immigrant children as young as 3 are being ordered into court for their own deportation proceedings, according to attorneys in Texas, California and Washington, D.C.

“We were representing a 3-year-old in court recently who had been separated from the parents. And the child — in the middle of the hearing — started climbing up on the table,” said Lindsay Toczylowski, executive director of Immigrant Defenders Law Center in Los Angeles. “It really highlighted the absurdity of what we’re doing with these kids.”

What fucking jackoff of a judge would allow such a thing????

Toczylowski said parents typically have been tried along with young children and have explained the often-violent circumstances that led them to seek asylum in the U.S.

Yeah, what's the toddler telling the judge? How does the toddler work with his attorney to present his case?

“The parent might be the only one who knows why they fled from the home country, and the child is in a disadvantageous position to defend themselves,” Toczylowski said.

Dear god! What the fuck is wrong with these people???

Steve Lee, a UCLA child psychology professor, said expecting the children to advocate for themselves in court is an “incredibly misaligned expectation.”

What the fuck is wrong with YOU, Steve Lee? Misaligned expectation, my ass. It's ridiculous, an outrage, a travesty, and an unbelievable atrocity.

I told you this story was going to just keep getting worse.
