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.
Because cameras are typically strictly forbidden in federal court, these new mass proceedings are an unfamiliar sight to those not present inside the courtrooms.
Nathan, who has been covering border and immigration issues for three decades, tells Chron.com finds covering mass trials particularly upsetting.

In April alone, 50,924 people were detained after crossing the border without papers, including 4,314 unaccompanied children and 9,647 family units, according to US Customs and Border Patrol.
The Obama administration occasionally held mass trials, but they have become a common occurrence under Trump.
More please!
Why are they all five-foot manlets?
I want to know, if any of these criminals, are here due to tax payers dollars funneled to fake religious charities?
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?
How about we give them to North Korea to use as food?
More please!
Show me one other crime here in the US where you get to go to jail with your kids in tow.
Stunted growth due to poor childhood diet.
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!
They come in en masse. They can leave the same way.
I want to know when this picture was taken. Plus who broke the rules and took and released it
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 ...
DEPORT all Illegals ASAP!
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.
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.
