NEW: We found a dentist who's performing dental scans to re-determine the age of unaccompanied minors; when he estimates that a young person may be an adult, they're placed in adult detention centers. Our exclusive story on @reveal:https://www.revealnews.org/blog/heres-how-ice-sent-children-seeking-asylum-to-adult-detention-centers/ …

In an ongoing case, a judge ruled that the “Respondent’s birth certificate and consistent assertions of being under eighteen outweigh the dental age test.” That was 10 days ago. ICE is still holding him at an adult detention center in California.pic.twitter.com/Rq6Vlh0SKQ

H.S. (we're using his initials because he faces serious risk) fled from Afghanistan last year. The Taliban killed his father. ISIS killed his brother. He came to the United States seeking asylum. Despite the judge's order, he remains in adult detention.

I wonder if
@UTHealthSA expects any backlash because of this and if@utsystem was aware of this. Surely, Texas groups like@jolt_texas,@UNITEDWEDREAM, and others are not going to be happy to hear this.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

So the xray might not even be the person in question. Sounds very much like something ICE would do, take a mug shot and send over the 19yo xrays. Hey, not a teen. ICE has no chain of custody, or ethics.

My children's baby teeth began coming in at 4 months. They began losing them at age 4. According to dentists, their mouths are years ahead of their ages. According to this UT dentist, my 15 year olds would be detained as adults. Ludicrous.

As a dentist, the only thing I see that is blatantly wrong, is posting the patient's medical records on Twitter.

Why does he require the mug shot?

The better question is; why is
@aurabogado posting people's dental charts on twitter?
