That judge who asked young children if they even knew what a lawyer was and then continued to proceed on their cases is a piece of shit and I hope he rots slowly while alive, he should have refused, what a pathetic evil motherfucker who actually spoke to these children face to face and still proceeded to treat them like criminals and send them off to god knows what kinda awful shit, I hope that sick fuck gets a very slow painful disease

William C Snoufer die bitch

So what this post is talking about is the short film: Unaccompanied: Alone in America, which is a dramatic representation of the plight of unaccompanied minors seeking refuge through America’s immigration courts.

As the Department of Justice does not allow recording devices in immigration courts the film maker used actors to recreate the process as best she could.

William C Snoufer is a retired Judge who agreed to return to the seat to help make the film, he is not someone actually judging these children and I think it was really commendable of him to be a part of this project.

Also I think it’s prudent to note, this project began work in 2014. Unaccompanied children have not had access to US immigration lawyers or translators since at least then, and probably longer. This is not a new problem for the US, just one that has been recently brought to light in the most horrific way possible.

PLEASE SPREAD THIS VERSION

Do not accidentally tar a retired judge who helped call attention to this issue when he’s not the one who did this!!

This is issue is horrible, but William C Snoufer is not the villain in it! Judges still on the bench (and ICE, and the general system) are!!
