For weeks in the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the mother has watched her 6-year-old son's health decline, Mukherjee said. He recently underwent chemotherapy treatment for leukemia and because of his arrest missed his check-in doctor’s appointment, Mukherjee said.

“He’s easily bruising. He has bone pain. He looks pale," Mukherjee said, adding that he has also lost his appetite. "His mom is terrified that these are symptoms that his leukemia situation might be deteriorating.”

. . . During the family's hearing, the mother tried to tell the judge that they wished to continue their cases for asylum, Mukherjee said. Homeland Security moved to dismiss their cases, and the judge immediately granted that motion.

When they stepped out of the courtroom, they found men in civilian clothing believed to be ICE agents who arrested the family, Mukherjee said. They spent about 11 hours at an immigrant processing center in Los Angeles and were each only given an apple, a small packet of cookies, a juice box and water.

Anyone know the name of the nazi judge? I couldn't find it after a quick search.

That piece of shit needs to be named and shamed at the absolute minimum.

It is honestly all of the immigration judges. Those judges work directly for the Executive branch and have been instructed by the Trump admin to quickly dismiss every case when requested.

In the memo, the Justice Department instructs immigration judges, who report to the executive branch and are not part of the independent judiciary, to allow Department of Homeland Security lawyers to make motions to dismiss orally and then move quickly to grant those dismissals, rather than allow immigrants the 10-day response time that had been typical.

You can name them all you want but they don’t care. They aren’t shamed because they feel no shame. They think what they are doing is correct. I’m sure most of the Nazis thought they were doing the right thing too, at least at first. We’re just barely getting started
