Trump team tries to turn immigration courts into a game of hide-and-seek

Original version ·

Bureaucracy is getting a major upgrade in creative ways to avoid actually seeing people in court.

The Trump administration is playing a new game of musical chairs with immigration courts. They are opening up secret, hidden locations to move cases along faster. The whole goal is to essentially bypass due process by making it impossible for people to actually show up to their own hearings.

Think of it like being summoned to a courthouse, but the address is a mystery box. If you can't find the room, you lose by default. It's an efficient way to hit deportation quotas without having to bother with pesky things like legal arguments or representation.

Justice is now officially a scavenger hunt.
