Why This Score
This scores high on constitutional damage due to severe due process violations (deporting children without hearings) and civil rights concerns (inhumane detention conditions). The rule of law driver scores maximum because deportation without due process fundamentally undermines legal protections. While emotionally charged, the B-score reflects genuine outrage over substantive violations rather than strategic distraction, with the dominance margin (A-B = +18) clearly placing this on List A as a governance harm event.
