WASHINGTON - The Trump administration is weighing a new policy that would fast-track the deportation of thousands of Central American teenagers who arrived at the southern border, unaccompanied by adults.

According to two sources with knowledge of the developing policy proposal, the Justice Department under Attorney General Jeff Sessions wants to avoid creating a new protected class of undocumented immigrants, given how politically difficult it has been for the administration to unwind another program DACA, which protected young people brought by adults to the country illegally when they were children.

This new policy would call for expedited deportation of another group the more than 150,000 children who arrived at the southern border alone, escaping violence and poverty in El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. Under the plan being discussed, teens in this group would be sent back to their countries when they turn 18 under a fast-track deportation, which means they would not see an immigration judge first.

This administration still has its hands somewhat tied with what it can do with that population, said a U.S. official familiar with the discussions. Because the law, especially for the children, doesnt give the administration a lot of flexibility with how to deal with unaccompanied children.

1. Fast-tracking them literally to death

This is horrible

2. we know the children

have been sent here, often by their parents, in hopes of saving their lives. The word violence does not capture what they are escaping from - it is murder, rape, and exploitation. That is where the fast track will take them.
