# Brief Explanations:
To determine which statement supports the author's purpose of persuading readers the US should help Honduran immigrant children, we analyze each option:
- Option 1 (detention stats): Just provides data on detentions, not about helping.
- Option 2 (comparison to child soldiers): Draws a parallel between the threats Honduran children face (forced drug selling by narcos) and other severe child exploitation (child soldiers in Sudan/Bosnia), highlighting the gravity of their situation to persuade the US to act.
- Option 3 (judges denying asylum apps): Focuses on judicial decisions, not on why the US should help.
- Option 4 (deportation discouraging refugees): Talks about deportation's effect on future refugees, not directly about helping current Honduran immigrant children.

# Answer:
The statement "These children are facing threats similar to the forceful conscription of child soldiers by warlords in Sudan or during the civil war in Bosnia. Being forced to sell drugs by narcos is no different from being forced into military service." (the second option)
