Nearly 9,000 unaccompanied migrant children have been kicked out of the United States without court hearings under the Trump administration's coronavirus restrictions at the border.

A court declaration Friday from US Border Patrol Deputy Chief Raul Ortiz revealed the number, which previously hadn't been released to the public.

Since the Trump administration invoked a public health law to implement new restrictions at the border on March 20, the agency has expelled more than 159,000 people, according to Ortiz. That figure, Ortiz says, included 8,800 children who were traveling alone and 7,600 family members.

The Border Patrol official's filing, first reported by CBS News, reveals new details about who has been kicked out of the US under the sweeping public health restrictions, which largely bar migrants from entering the country.

2. Trafficking? Devos adoptions? Deaths in custody?

Does anyone trust that they have kept good records, and didn’t dump them at a bus station surrounded by gangs?

We are guilty of crimes against humanity. Get this criminal out of the White House.

Toczylowski, the immigration attorney who has worked with migrant children processed under the CDC order, strongly rejected the government's arguments. She said other measures could be taken to contain the coronavirus, including conducting rapid testing on migrant children and families before releasing them to sponsors so they can quarantine and continue their immigration proceedings outside of detention.

How many families were separated and the parents wound up being deported to a different place or time than their children? There's also a big difference getting into the country with a plan and then being caught and deported to some airport in the original country far from any contacts with no resources. And if they can get back home there still was a reason they risked so much in the first place.

The death toll is increasing.
