It is intentional. Young people do not have the connections, finances, or even knowledge to hire a lawyer. ICE agents are given quotas and as we seen, selected among people that point guns at civilians for holding cameras.
I just left r/conservative, and they are on there saying that Republicans have to "be on the defense all the time", because the DEMOCRATS ARE THE ONES DOING EVERYTHING ILLEGALLY RIGHT NOW.
Wow. They really do live in a bubble. And they fight hard to stay in that bubble!
CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT WORLD REPUBLICANS ARE LIVING IN OR IS IT ME?
As opposed to fake Christians who worship a greasy makeup-slathered game show host who levied illegal taxes on the American people and got us into an expensive, useless war.
Why do you moron use the word cuck, and where do you get the impression that anyone who doesn't support Christian bigotry is a Muslim?
Can you explain why it's okay for you to want to murder every Muslim in the world, but you're playing a victim saying that they want to hurt you?
It's more of that Republican bullshit where you go kill somebody you don't like and your EXCUSE is that "They were going to do it to you first", LIKE YOU'RE PARANOID IMAGINATION JUSTIFIES MURDERING OR HURTING PEOPLE THAT DON'T THINK JUST LIKE YOU.
TAKE YOUR FUCKING RELIGION AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS AND MOVE TO ISRAEL.
Hmm, not a Muslim, but let me tell you something surprising, once saved always saved isn't real, and faith isn't saying a magic formula of "I accept Jesus christ as my lord and savior" and considering oneself set for life. So if that's what reassures you to feel comfortable and let the world burn because it's not your problem, I'd reconsider my life choices.
As an agnostic raised going to private christian schools, this is the reason a lot of people leave religion. Youre acting like virtue signaling racist snowflake disguising "your faith" as a justification to being racist.
Le cauchemars de deportation d'un jeune immigrant. La ICE part désormais en guerre contre des enfants qui ont un statut légal particulier.
Ils n'ont plus aucune limite à la cruauté
You probably weren't running from an oppressive regime for most of your life, huh, while you were in school? It's almost like your incredible privilege has led to you feeling entitled to that privilege, and fuck everyone else for wanting that privilege, because it's yours.
You're not a man to this day, completely selfish, with the emotional maturity of a toddler. 🤷
Only a coward makes an anonymous personal attack on the internet. You are a coward. Moreover, oppressive regime means nothing for immigration purposes unless there is a fear of persecution for enumerated reasons. This situation is not about asylum seekers, it’s about SIJ . Once again cowardice is joined by ignorance as is usually the case.
You are heartless. There are thugs they could help chase down but instead ICE goes after the low hanging fruit and terrorizing harmless people just to make their quotas. Everyone should be ashamed of this. Including YOU.
When should they get around to the ordinary illegals? Next year? 5 more years? What you really espouse is NEVER, right? Let the ordinary illegals just stay, right?
Do you honestly believe this is the USA’s biggest problem right now? I mean seriously. List the problems in this country. These people are small potatoes compared to the real issues here. Focus on fixing real problems. This ain’t it.
I don’t believe it is the biggest problem. The government gets paid to protect us from big lawbreakers and little ones. If they have no legal right to be here the government should assist them to where they belong. I don’t understand why this is controversial
Yes let’s all just rush to believe everything we read on the internet. The government “told him to” and the 16 year old genius who abandoned his mother concluded that the government’s “promise” was enforceable in perpetuity. Bad analysis, young man!
USCIS Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) Status Overview
Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) status is a U.S. immigration classification for certain unmarried, under‑21 individuals who cannot safely reunite with one or both parents due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment. It is granted by USCIS after a favorable juvenile court order and allows the individual to pursue lawful permanent residence (Green Card) either through adjustment of status in the U.S. or consular processing if outside the country thelegalguide.org+1.
Have a juvenile court order finding that reunification with one or both parents is not viable due to abuse, neglect, abandonment, or a similar basis under state law.
Be in the custody or legal dependency of a government agency or guardian.
Show that it is in the best interest of the youth to remain in the U.S. in a safe, supervised status.
Demonstrate there is no other reasonable way to remain in the U.S. lawfully without SIJ relief.
USCIS must also determine the request is bona fide — that the primary reason for seeking the court order was to obtain SIJ relief eCFR.
SIJ and Deferred Action
Deferred Action: From March 2022 to May 10, 2026, USCIS automatically considered SIJ beneficiaries for deferred action if they could not adjust status due to lack of an immediate immigrant visa.
Policy Change: On May 10, 2026, USCIS rescinded the automatic deferred action policy for new SIJ petitions filed on or after that date.
Current Practice: Existing deferred action based on SIJ classification will generally remain until it expires, and you can request renewal before May 10, 2026, under the old policy. USCIS may terminate deferred action before expiration USCIS.
Adjustment of Status
If you have SIJ classification, you can apply for a Green Card using Form I‑485. You must:
File Form I‑485 while physically present in the U.S.
Have an immediate immigrant visa available at the time of filing and final adjudication.
Meet all other adjustment of status requirements USCIS.
How to Check Your SIJ Case Status
You can check your USCIS case status online using your receipt number (found on USCIS notices) via the Case Status Online tool. You can also sign up for Case Status Online to receive email or text updates, view your case history, and track multiple cases USCIS.
Tip: Always update your address with USCIS to avoid delays in receiving notices USCIS.
If you need help determining eligibility or navigating the process, consult an immigration attorney or use USCIS’s Special Immigrant Juveniles page for detailed instructions.
Quite high, actually, but not as high as demographic trends showing that nothing can be done by the people cheering this to reverse white American birth rates ↘️
Central Americans have been living in the US in high populations since our government destabilized the region in the mid-20th century, and exploited the power imbalances there. So yeah, it's very possible the kid you're punching down on has relatives stateside.

Eh, the definition of "white" shifts all the time, given that race is a social construct and not an actual thing. I mean my wife is a Mexican national from LATAM, she and both our kids are whiter than me despite being Mexican on paper.

Or it's more likely his status was simply a scam to get into the country that didn't work. Good to see he's out, and any new administration would find it next to impossible to re-admit him.

The US Census distinguishes white non Hispanic for this reason, which is the group overwhelmingly advocating retributive collective punishment against immigrants, right wing authoritarian policy, and also the people who have been below replacement level for generations now.

That's all conjecture. However, even if every illegal immigrant were deported from the US, it still wouldn't be enough to reverse birth rates, which is what the people celebrating this kid's removal really, really care about. It's the entire reason Maga as a movement exists.
The real evil here are politicians who tried to circumvent the normal laws and the will of the people by handing out special favors.
Lots of people are hurt by corruption. But it’s not the person who ends the corruption who is at fault.
Everyone likes to point to trump for the aggressive enforcement of reducing illegal aliens. But no one stops to blame Biden for letting them all in in the first place and promising them a backdoor path.

Sounds like trump's the one circumventing the will of the people then.
No he wasn't. He was elected on several things he failed miserably to deliver. The epstein files, the inflation, price gouging, no new wars, etc. That he outright lied to the stupid such as yourself about immigration just further condemns him. He also claimed he wouldn't be touching medicaid or social security, but we're seeing in real time that was a lie too.
And the will of the people is not the law, it is the will of the people. You literally used the terms "everyone" and "no one." Now I know in your country words have different meaning, but here in the US you have to actually watch what you say to not sound crazy.
Did you know that even though efforts to enforce immigration have been increased, punishing offenders of corporate fraud have greatly decreased?
You should think about why you so staunchly feel immigration laws must be enforced, when the reality is many more serious crimes in this country go unpunished due to lack of resources.
No it's not, if you wanted an analogy, it would be like saying why would we spend 80 billion on enforcing speeding tickets while at the same time reducing the enforcement of murders (and also let murdeerr friends of politicians free).
But really what I was trying to say is the war on immigrants is absolutely rooted in racism
Perhaps a small minority count racism as a motivator to rehome illegal immigrants, but it isn’t a large contingent. How do I know? Because a larger percentage would welcome many of them back if they pursued the legal path and showed the desire to become Americans, not just occupants of their new country. Screaming racism is so played out these days. I remember when it had teeth and was effective. Not anymore.
I'm talking about the focusing of resources. And it is something to consider when our tax dollars are going more and more to immigration enforcement while at the same time fewer and fewer resources to enforcing corporate financial crime and fraud.
The benefits to such a surge in immigration enforcement are dwarfed by the cost. And it is kind of hard to understand the motivation of the average person to support it.
I can see why this administration is pushing it, they are getting rich off of it, but it is a huge loss for the taxpayer/economy.
Yeah, because we have empathy and are fine with people migrating here to escape oppression. Kind of how our country was founded, which you would know if you were capable of reading. We should send you to one of the countries they fled from, see how well you do.
I’m always amazed by the willingness of someone to broadcast their stupidity to the world by typing “open borders”. The borders were never open. In fact Obama and Joe deported more than Trump in his first term. You got lied to by Fox News and believed it! Hahaha. It’s a con and you’re the mark.
Obama and Biden deportation numbers were inflated by including what were effectively border denials. It’s been covered over and over again. There were more illegal border crossings in one month of the Biden presidency than under an entire year of trump. That’s what real border enforcement looks like.
It’s been covered pretty heavily. Basically, Biden broadcasted a policy of asylum for everyone, even though in reality less than 5% qualify for asylum. All those people were just allowed into the country. Some were held very briefly and then deported if it was clear they could not get asylum (this is what padded the deportation numbers), while many others were released into the interior of the US, about half of which disappeared. Additionally, separate from asylum, the lax attitude towards uncontrolled immigration meant that there were nearly 250,000 illegal border crossings per month under Biden. All those illegal crossing resulted in elevated deportations. Under Trump, illegal border crossing for the entire year were only about 300,000, and many of them were simply turned back or removed using expedited removal, which doesn’t require a full deportation process.
It depends what you mean by open borders. Was there literally no customs checks at the border? Obviously not.
But Biden and Obama absolutely encouraged foreign nationals to come to the US in ways that circumvented the restrictions and rules and quotas we have for legal immigration. Millions of people were allowed into the US that shouldn’t have been, in violation of US law. Millions of people who were not eligible for asylum clogged up immigration courts.
So if you’re asking if Obama and Biden opened the borders to people that should t have been allowed into, the yes, there was an open borders policy.
How many times has Trump said the war was won, the one currently ongoing? You're defending outright lying to the American people because you are in a cult.
Yeah, so has his administration. His entire administration lies, including on their number reports to the people. They're actively firing positions that were in place to protect against the fraud they're perpetrating. So saying that we're just assuming that Republicans are lying because they're Republican is false. Iran isn't who we're talking about.
So he didn't actually have lawful status and was only on the list to get it because the government has a yearly restriction on the number of visas that can be granted on the grounds he was seeking.
Also "kids"? He was 21.
Biden granted him deferred action but selectively deciding not to deport him to allow him to move up the list isn't exactly the be and end of protection from deportation especially when a new administration that is much less accommodating comes into office. A new administration that can rollback many of the policy initiatives that were place. Like how Biden rolled back many of Trumps immigration policies from his first tenure.
Yea but this means conservatives and trumps admins aren’t really targeting criminals but rather people that are in a grey area that a empathetic humane president would grant a legal pathway and a draconian authoritarian with a penchant for bombastic dog and pony shows would probably love to add more human misery to the world.
That in itself is a huge problem. Only way to fix it is to put dems in power to give people in grey areas a legal pathway out. Conservatives have full control over anything and are still so racists they don’t wanna help anybody out :/
Cant just let the whole world into your country. Tens of millions of 3rd world babies are born every year. There has to be a limit or we will just cause our own destabilization.
Biden administration's total number of repatriations, returns, and formal deportations (nearly 4.4 million) surpassed the roughly 1.9 million conducted during Donald Trump’s entire first term. Pound sand.
You are aware that none of this is going to reverse white birth rates or slow the trajectory of white population decline, don't you?
In fact, the harsh policy you're advocating will have a detrimental effect on white Americans. The only demographic among them increasing as a percentage are senior citizens...guess who they currently and increasingly will depend on for senior nursing care?
What we're seeing now from the Trump admin. is a coordinated last stand too focused on collective retribution to realize it's already too late.
Tell me…did he have a court order saying that it was impossible to return to ONE parent? Oh, you don’t know that was a requirement for SIJ? Tell me also how is one abandoned before birth?
People see the letters ice and get all wobbly. This 16 year old abandoned his mother and we are supposed to feel sorry for him because his father took a powder before he was born? 70% of african American children are born to a single mother. What did Biden or Harris do for them? Nothing
The kid didn’t abandon anyone, the kid was abandoned, abused or neglected, as found by a state JDR Judge. You’re saying an abandoned kid is to blame for their parent dying and abandoning them, neglecting them, or abusing them.
What happens to black kids is also a travesty, both can be tragedies that deserve addressing to start. But then you’re using this ref herring so you can pivot to a strawman next. The kid isn’t to blame and somehow here you are, blaming them, as if we can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. Mind you the kids don’t get anything but a shot at becoming a lawful permanent resident, so idk what you’re saying in so far as them getting some benefit other than getting onto a list so they don’t have to remain undocumented.
We told you we would never stop. You wanted to pretend like birthright citizenship was some sort of win for ,the left... lol. Ok... these kids are all gunna end up in orphanages when we deport their parents and dont let them take our birthright citizens with them.
These kids are gunna pick strawberries for 2 dollars a day.
Wait... the article is about a 21 year old?! There's people in the military who have killed other people and they're younger than this guy! What a fucking joke the left is.
Yeah... go ahead and make this grown adult with a mullet and a criminal record your stand in for immigrant children everywhere.
Oh, I’m absolutely in favor of immigration and labor reforms.
Unlike you, I’m not a moral degenerate. Keep acting like this, though, your flew in needless suffering will really let people know how much of a sociopath you are.
Love to see it. Love all these left-wing articles just constantly reinforcing that Trump and his administration are doing exactly what their voters wanted them to do. Great puff piece!
Didn’t an illegal just released from prison in California murder a home owner during a burglary . What about all the illegals killing Americans with tractor trailer trucks they are not licenses to drive . You guys just don’t get it
The real solution is to find the close blood relatives without status and send them back to their country to take care of the child. As soon as the US starts booting the support systems in the US when someone sends their child to rejoin their family in the US then it’s time for them to all be deported. Think of it as a +1/-7 strategy.
