migrant minors

Migrant children are being required to appear in US immigration court proceedings without legal representation, according to CNN reporting. The situation raises concerns about due process, as young children must navigate complex deportation hearings alone, unable to understand proceedings or present claims for protection.

CNN reports from a Texas immigration courtroom where children as young as toddlers are required to appear before immigration judges, many without legal representation. The report highlights how US immigration proceedings process young migrant children, renewing debate over the treatment of migrant families and minors in the court system.
