It appears Avenatti is flying to Guatemala tonight with 8-year-old Antony:

[Leghorn21]

81 days after being forcibly separated from his mother due
to the cruel and unusual president, Antony is going home to
Guatemala to be reunited with his mother. Finally. #Basta

.@ricardo_de_anda & I appeared in ct today to attempt to
allow us to take our client Antony home to mom in Guatemala
TODAY. The govt opposed our request - he will now have to stay
perhaps another 2 mos here. He hasn’t seen his mom in 81 days.
Trump and his cronies have no heart.

This amazing lawyer has been working with Avenetti:

De Anda Law firm has been practicing Law for over 40 years, focusing on trial litigation involving commercial disputes, civil rights and immigrant rights in defense of families in need, and legal consultation services for private and public clients. We are committed, lifelong fighters for underserved communities and immigrants, and have successfully represented asylum seekers as well as confronted racist militias operating in Texas in court.

Our office is 100 feet from the US Mexico Border in Laredo Texas.

Lead counsel Ricardo De Anda was one of the first Latino graduates of Stanford Law School and is a longtime member of the board of the Texas ACLU. He grew up in Laredo TX where he currently lives and works.

1. Avenatti is a voice for humanity....

Keep it up please....we need you!

GOTV!!!!!

[lapfog_1]

2. Good... I haven't seen Avenatti making the rounds of MSNBC and CNN shows touting this

which makes me happy to see him do it.

Maybe start changing my mind on him running for President.

[brush]

4. He's putting his money where his mouth is. He's a force for good who can go toe-to-toe with trump.

[Lucky Luciano]

6. Being a good guy is not a qualification.

I would not vote for him in a primary, BUT I would appreciate his presence in a primary where he could say things unconstrained by the requirements to say those things diplomatically...ie he could be the attack dog providing the assist to a more qualified general election candidate who could finally restore dignity to the presidency and the United States in general.

[lapfog_1]

7. being a good person is a quality I look for

and much more so when you are being a good person and not touting it all over the news

[Lucky Luciano]

8. Sure, but you are also probably a good person.

Just saying that it is a necessary requirement, but definitely not sufficient.

[lapfog_1]

9. I didn't say i was voting for him...

depends on who else is in.

But physically flying with the young boy without making the rounds touting it... that's cool.

[Lucky Luciano]

10. Indeed. nt

[RightiswrongTn]

11. Oh Hell yeah it is!!!

Absolutely...Another good person is Joseph Biden.. Biden Avenatti would be a great ticket.

[Lucky Luciano]

14. As stated earlier, I consider being a good person necessary, but not sufficient.

[leftofcool]

18. Actually, it is. We need a good tough guy.

All you naysayers can just...well, naysay all you want to.

[LakeArenal]

3. Love the Av.....❣️

Surely he’ll be accused of alterior motives,
Publicity seeking, political ambition.

I say, at least we have someone really solid grabbing those head lines.


BONUS: dumpy seems a little a’feared of him.

5. Tweets from Mr. De Anda today:

That is one thing Antony received today. A couple of long,
long sweet hugs from #MichaelAvenatti and I. Hugs that
were coming from his mother in Guatemala.

His mami says he is "un nino valiente". That he is and much,
much more. I forsee him walking with kings one day.

Link to tweet

He's 9. Wants to be with his mom. No way he wants to
stay in a foreign land without her.

Only reason why DOJ lawyer would be opposed-he's got
orders from above to continue the cruelty so that the
government may continue its message of cold deterence.

It appears Mr. Avennati has a talent for finding ”THE BEST” people to work with - Mr. De Anda has been, in his own words, a “Border radical” for DECADES now.

Oh hell yeah

[eleny]

12. I'm a little confused

The tweets saying he's going home to his mother and that the court denied his leaving for another 81 days are both dated today but many hours apart. Sounds like there was a reversal of the decision. I'll have to go read more to learn what happened. It's the rest of the story. Av is a man of good actions as far as I can tell.

Thx for posting!

[Leghorn21]

16. Apologies, eleny!! I should have posted oldest tweets first and saved you some confusion-

What happened was, Avenatti and De Anda were in court ALL day long, finally got Antony the hell out of there, and Antony and Avennati apparently hopped on a plane shortly thereafter -

I am unable to tell if Mr. De Anda went with them - but he just posted this:

Such absolute white-right trash. I was the boys lawyer,
was there, and can tell you this is absolute bullshit. Fevered
dreams of the white-right to justify kidnapping and
#TrumpConcentationCamps. Empathy crowded out by hate.

Link to tweet

Mr. De Anda has been doing this for 30 years - he’s a scrappy, ANGRY
man who has seen it all -

[eleny]

17. Wow, De Anda telling it like it is

30 years of dealing with this kind of bs. He was the right person for the job!

Thx, Leghorn 21!

[SallyHemmings]

25. Thanks so much!

[HipChick]

13. I don't care what anyone says....

but I LOVE THIS GUY!

[OMGWTF]

15. Could it be that a porn star and her attorney are going to save our democracy?

I hope Michael Avanatti runs for office some day.

[Leghorn21]

19. Just remembered this tweet from Red Don 2 weeks ago:

A highly respected Federal judge today stated that the “Trump
Administration gets great credit” for reuniting illegal families.
Thank you, and please look at the previous administrations
record - not good!

22. "Red Don" lol I might just use that one!

[Leghorn21]

23. Totally stole it from a DUer, Lug!! - for months now, I was using "LOSER45", which I also

stole from a DUer ages ago!

So, help yourself!! (I sure as hell do!!)

[LiberalLovinLug]

24. Thanks!

[Leghorn21]

20. Antony has been successfully reunited with his mother!!!

It ends today at 81 days for Antony and Elsa.
But continues for over 500 others...
