The Five-Year-Old Who Was Detained at the Border and Persuaded to Sign Away Her Rights



Helen—a smart, cheerful five-year-old girl—is an asylum seeker from Honduras.

This summer, when a social worker asked her to identify her strengths, Helen shared

her pride in “her ability to learn fast and

express her feelings and concerns.”

She also recounted her favorite activities (“playing with her dolls”),

her usual bedtime (“8 p.m.”), and

her professional aspirations (“to be a veterinarian”).

Noehmi said that the official told her,

“Don’t make things too difficult,” and

pulled Helen from her arms.

“The girl will stay here,” he said,

“and you’ll be deported.”

Helen cried as he escorted her from the room and out of sight.

The next day, authorities—likely from the Office of Refugee Resettlement (O.R.R.)—called to say that

they were holding Helen at a shelter near Houston;

according to Noehmi, they wouldn’t say exactly where.

Noehmi and Jeny panicked.

Unable to breathe amid her distress, Noehmi checked herself into a local hospital,

where doctors gave her medication to calm her down.

“I thought we would never see her again,” Noehmi said.

Trump administration weighs new family-separation effort at border

The White House is actively considering plans that could again separate parents and children at the U.S.-Mexico border, hoping to reverse soaring numbers of families attempting to cross illegally into the United States,

One option under consideration is for the government to detain asylum-seeking families together for up to 20 days, then give parents a choice —

stay in family detention with their child for months or years as their immigration case proceeds, or

allow children to be taken to a government shelter so other relatives or guardians can seek custody.

they feel compelled to do something, and officials say senior White House adviser Stephen Miller is advocating for tougher measures because he believes the springtime separations worked as an effective deterrent to illegal crossings.

At least 2,500 children were taken from their parents over a period of six weeks.

Crossings by families declined slightly in May, June and July before surging again in August.

September numbers are expected to be even higher.

Miller and others are determined to act

Any effort to expand family detentions and resume separations would face multiple logistical and legal hurdles.

U.S. District Judge Dana M. Sabraw, who ordered the government to reunite separated families in June, sanctioned the binary choice approach in one of his rulings.

“practical and legal barriers” remain to using that approach in the future,

noting that Sabraw also held that a “government practice of family separation without a determination that the parent was unfit or presented a danger to the child” would likely violate due process.

The report said releasing families together in the United States is “the only clearly viable option under current law.”

THE US IS CHECKING IMMIGRANT KIDS’ TEETH TO SEE IF THEY ACTUALLY BELONG IN ADULT DETENTION

In the U.S. immigration system, the difference between being 17 and 18 is a crucial one.

Undo ented minors who cross the border are housed under the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

They stay in shelters, not detention centers, and they are on a path to be released to family-member sponsors.

They also receive special protections under the law. Immigrants 18 and older, however, fall under the jurisdiction of ICE.

They are often kept in detention centers that are akin to prisons.

ORR contractors and ICE sometimes turn to a highly disputed science to determine how old the immigrants are: forensic odontology.

ORR and its contractors work with specialized dentists to conduct “age assessment” reports on minors suspected of being adults.

Immigrant detainees are X-rayed, and those images are sent to a forensic dentist, who looks at the person’s wisdom teeth and performs a statistical analysis, factoring in a person’s race and gender using studies on different dental populations.

Neither ORR nor ICE discloses how many of these assessments are orde

U.S. courts abruptly tossed 9,000 deportation cases. Here's why

The Supreme Court case involved Wescley Fonseca Pereira, a Brazilian immigrant who overstayed his visa and was put into deportation proceedings in 2006.

The initial paperwork he was sent

did not state a date and time of appearance, however, and

Pereira said he did not receive a subsequent notice telling him where and when to appear.

When he failed to show up in court, he was ordered deported.

The Supreme Court ruled that paperwork failing to designate a time and place didn’t cons ute a legal notice to appear in court.

The ruling sparked a frenzy of immigration court filings.

Over ten weeks this summer, a record 9,000 deportation cases, including Barrios’, were terminated as immigration attorneys raced to court with challenges to the paperwork their clients had received,

Southwest Key, a “non-profit” that has a nearly $460 million dollar contract with the Trump administration to detain migrant children, has been

forced to give up licenses for two facilities in Arizona and

will pay a $73,000 fine after failing to provide fingerprint records for some employees.

“Last month,” the New York Times reports, “the health department issued notices of intent to revoke the organization's licenses when Southwest Key missed a deadline to update it on fingerprint clearance cards, which are part of the background check process.”

Additionally, “Southwest Key also will stop admitting new immigrant children in its Arizona facilities unless the health department approves them.”

ICE is detaining a record number of immigrants and won't say where the extra funding is coming from

Federal immigration officials not only have a record number of immigrants locked up in detention facilities,

the agency also has thousands more people in custody than Congress has budgeted for.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Daily Beast reports, is refusing to say where the additional funding is coming from.

“ICE recently reported to Congress that, as of October 20, its average daily population in detention had reached

44,631 people,” approximately “4,000 more people than Congress has funded.”

And the extra cash?

September may offer a clue, when the Trump administration funneled tens of millions of dollars from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to lock up families.

“In September, when I discovered that ICE had been reprogramming FEMA dollars to pay for immigrant detention centers,

I wasn’t given the information from the administration,” said U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon.

“I wasn’t given the information as a member of the Senate appropriations committee.

I found the information through outside resources.”

Number of migrant kids detained by Trump admin hits record high, yet again



“Currently, there are approximately 14,000 minors in the unaccompanied alien children program, a number that can fluctuate up or down,” said Department of Health and Human Services

Trump officials have only expanded and prolonged a prison camp for migrant kids in the Texas desert, and

taken steps to make it harder for migrant kids to go to sponsors, who are oftentimes family members.

“unaccompanied children are being held in detention facilities or living in tent cities due in part to potential sponsors’ fear of retribution from ICE for coming forward.

U.S. Family Separation: 129 Kids Won't Be Reunited With Parents
About a hundred migrant children separated from their families by immigration authorities when crossing the U.S. border without do ents won’t be reunited with their families,

months after the ‘Zero Tolerance’ separation policy there are 147 children still under Federal custody, some of which won’t be returned to their families.

30 of those children were declared ineligible for reunification because of the parents’ criminal records,

even though some of them refer to minor crimes that don’t really affect their capacity to take care of their children,

The parents of the remaining 117 children have already been deported to their home countries, further complicating the reunification process.

But there are groups of volunteers and social organizations looking for them in Central America and elsewhere,

locating the relatives or parents of at least 106 of them.

Seven of them are asking for their children to be returned home,

but the remaining 99 stated that they would rather have them safe in a remote country that face the conditions they would experience in their country of origin, waving to their rights for reunification.

That means at least 129 children won't be reunited with their families.

the children will be placed with sponsors or remain in the agency’s custody “until their day in immigration court or until they turn 18.”

Homeland Security wanted to help track separated families at the border — but the White House said no

Scott Shuchart explained that not only was Homeland Security never consulted about Trump’s new Executive Order that separated families at the border when they sought asylum.

“If you’re going to separate families in the pursuit of an immigration policy,

it was irresponsible

to push that on top of a system that wasn’t prepared on the backend to allow the families to be reconciled later,”

“We would’ve had advice on the way that needed to be done, on the recordkeeping that needed to be done.

And our advice on that wasn’t sought out. And when we tried to provide it, it was ignored,”

He noted that there were parents removed from the United States and taken to other countries without records about where their child was.

The Trump administration claimed 2600 children were taken from their parents,

but records show that number was closer to 5,000.
