Inside an illegal immigration 'mass trial': Leaked photo shows DOZENS of detainees in orange jumpsuits with their hands and feet shackled awaiting their fate

Attorney General Jeff Sessions promised a 'zero tolerance' policy at the borders

A leaked photo shows dozens of immigrants and asylum seekers in a 'mass trial'

Those seeking asylum to the US are being charged with a crime before they can even seek asylum under the Trump administration's policy

The shackled immigrants typically answer the judge in unison to save time

Many of them have been separated from their children in the process

A leaked image from inside a federal court shows dozens of immigrants in orange jumpsuits with their hands and feet shackled in the process of undergoing a 'mass trial' in Texas.

Under the Trump administration's zero tolerance policy on illegal immigration, scenes like this one in Pecos, are becoming more the norm according The Intercept's reporter Debbie Nathan.

While I don’t have a preblem with the photo, it should be easy to trace the photo back and see who leaked it. I would love to see the leaker punished. Bigly.

“More please!”

Why is there a “trial”? When captured, why aren’t they immediately sent out of the country?

They keep saying “leaked” photos like the whole thing is some kind of sneaky secret. It is fair and legal treatment.

I’m happy to see this treatment of criminals. It’s what justice looks like!

A lot of Central American people of Mayan ancestry are short - often five feet or less.

Hey, we in the U.S. would be quite happy to send ‘em all to the UK, you know, so they could be treated to free everything there instead of here ...

1st illegal entry; photo’s, fingerprints, other biometrics, then send them home with no trial.

2nd illegal entry; One year in tent city, where treadmills are set up to generate electricity and are ready for them to operate.

3rd illegal entry; 5 year minimum making electricity.

keep increasing the above with every illegal entry.

"I would love to see the leaker punished. Bigly."

NONSENSE!!!

Run a full page ad in every newspaper south of El Paso, all the way to Terre del Fuego, with the picture above the fold. Add the headline, "These criminals will be SHOT, for sneaking into our country!"

(We don't have to actually shoot them, but the perception, that the US is Ultimate Evil, might keep some of the slower ones from trying.)

Because they have to by a law which Congress won’t change.
