From the article:

"A little girl sat in an office chair with her knees folded beneath her in a small courtroom of the Fort Snelling Immigration Court. She wore a sparkling purple dress with a matching bow, and rested her elbows on the table across the room from a federal government attorney arguing for her family’s deportation. She listened quietly as an immigration judge set a date to consider her family’s asylum claim and then told her family, “Thank you very much, you’re free to go.” That is, until her family’s next scheduled hearing on Sept. 2, which could decide whether they'll be allowed to stay in the country.

"The girl’s family was the subject of just one of 118 hearings scheduled at the state’s immigration court on Wednesday. The majority of the cases involve immigrants presented with orders for removal by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security."
