U.S. has expelled 8,800 migrant children under coronavirus rules

President Donald Trump’s administration has expelled about 8,800 unaccompanied migrant children intercepted at the U.S.-Mexico border since March 20 under rules seeking to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus in the United States, according to court documents filed Friday by the Justice Department.

Since then, U.S. officials have been quickly removing migrants, including unaccompanied minors, without standard immigration proceedings.

They really are fascist scum. They are sending CHILDREN on their own across the border - vulnerable to exploitation and worse, cause cruelty is their only point.

Q1. How do children arrive at the border unaccompanied? Are we talking run-away teens, or what?
Q2: Expelled to where? The other side of the chain link fence??? Do we demand that mexican locals come and take them to orphanages?
