San Diego At first glance, the scene in Courtroom 2 might have seemed ordinary: Individuals presenting themselves before a judge one by one -- some with attorneys, others without. The judge posing questions to each side and arranging follow-up court dates.
But it was anything but ordinary. Migrants seeking asylum in the United States and forced to wait in Mexico expressed a fear of returning to Mexico, as the detention officers who transported them to the hearing stood idly in the back of the room. Lawyers tried to seek answers to what should have been basic questions from Immigration and Customs Enforcement attorneys, who seemed equally confused about the new administration policy keeping those migrants in Mexico.
