But when the crisis was declared and Obama’s administration created the priority juvenile docket, that window was reduced to twenty-one days. In real and practical terms, what the creation of that priority docket meant was that the cases involving unaccompanied minors from Central America were grouped together and moved to the top of the list of pending cases in immigration court. Being moved to the top of a list, in this context, was the least desirable thing—at least from the point of view of the children involved. Basically, the priority juvenile docket implied that deportation proceedings against them were accelerated by 94 percent, and that both they and the organizations that normally provided legal representation now had much less time to build a defense.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Valeria Luiselli" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/valeria-luiselli/before-the-immigration-crisis-was-declared-in-the-summer-of-2014/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fb9/valeria-luiselli-27018_point-of-view_before-the-immigration-crisis-was-declar_2166404.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fb9/valeria-luiselli-27018_point-of-view_before-the-immigration-crisis-was-declar_2166404.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fb9/valeria-luiselli-27018_point-of-view_before-the-immigration-crisis-was-declar_2166404.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Before the immigration crisis was declared in the summer of 2014, minors seeking immigration relief were…” — Valeria Luiselli", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/deportation-proceedings/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/deportation-proceedings/", "name": "Deportation Proceedings Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/deportation-proceedings/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/7a9/diane-guerrero-3891_chance_while-awaiting-deportation-proceedings-m_289071.jpg" }, "description": "Browse 3 Deportation Proceedings quotes by 3 authors.
