Illegal entrants who are no longer minors face major consequences

Carolyn Hileman* | September 8, 2007 

LOS FRESNOS — Gustavo spent his last hours as a 17-year-old playing checkers with friends, followed by a hearty dinner: chicken enchiladas, rice, refried beans, salad, apple juice and a blueberry muffin. At 5 the next morning, he was quietly awakened, told to get dressed and escorted to an office. He sat there for nearly eight hours before uniformed officers put him in an unmarked white van and sped off. It was the worst birthday of his life. After turning 18 overnight, the young Honduran was moved from a dormitory-style center for undocumented juveniles to an adult prison and the deportation fast track. He was locked up with older men, ate prison food, used communal showers and toilets and breathed an hour of fresh air daily.
