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.

Poor Nathan
Wonder why he’s upset?
Yea me too. Other than it being so secretive (as it should be made public for all to see to make them think twice about coming here illegally), it’s a beautiful sight.
Looks like each has a statement, some papers anyway, with a spot at the podium.
Not a citizen, illegal entry into a country…how many rights (basic human rights aside) can one hope for?
Thatś what I like to see – – round ém up, boot ém out. Promise them if they are ever caught again, there will be hell to pay.
That could go on 24/7/365, and it would STILL take DECADES to get rid of just the ones already here! 😡
