New York. Migratory EU courts began issuing deportation orders for Central minors crossing the border in recent months.
According to lawyers for children at least 12 orders of deportation in absentia have been issued by judges of the Immigration Court in Manhattan since 13 August when he started in the court a new federal program to expedite cases children who crossed the border illegally in recent months.
In absentia mean that children are not introduced to his appearance in court. Deportation orders issued in New York are few, and that at least 500 children who crossed the border recently solos have been called to appear before a New York judge under the new program. Expulsions also have been issued for about 16 young and 17, considered minors in the American judicial system.
Yet these deportation orders are significant to some lawyers and activists.
"We are very concerned that children could stay in the country could be losing that opportunity," said Neena Dutta, National Immigration Lawyers Association.
Kathryn Mattingly, a spokesman for the federal Office of Immigration Review, which administers all courts of the United States, said he does not have exact figures on how many deportation orders have been issued for Central American children who recently arrived. Mattingly said that "too early" for data since the program began expediting cases only in mid-August.
At least 56,265 children who crossed the border illegally and without their parents have been arrested so far in fiscal 2014, according to official data. New York is the second state that has received more minor after Texas, with 4,244 Central American children who came from 1 January to late July.
