Judge orders plane carrying deported mother and child turned around, blocks more removals
Source: NBC
In a federal courtroom in Washington on Thursday, a federal judge heard about something the Trump administration had just done that clearly angered him. The government, he learned, had just deported an immigrant mother and daughter who are plaintiffs in the lawsuit the judge was hearing over family separations.
So the judge did something highly unusual: He demanded the administration turn around the plane carrying the plaintiffs to Central America and bring them back to the United States. And he ordered the government to stop removing people from the country who are seeking protection from gang and domestic violence.
The U.S. district judge, Emmet Sullivan, was presiding over a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union. He had earlier been assured by the government in open court that no plaintiffs in the suit would be deported before midnight Friday.

The ACLU lawsuit had challenged a decision by Attorney General Jeff Sessions to exclude domestic and gang violence as reasons for immigrants to be granted asylum. The ACLU sought a stay of removal for its plaintiffs.

(1,077 posts)If memory serves me, Iceland sent those bankers to Jail for their participation in the 2008-09 loan debacle.
It is time for the leaders and underlings to serve time. Even for CONTEMPT of Court.
Most of us would be in jail so fast our heads would be spinning.
Who went to jail for creating all of the bogus accounts at Wells Fargo? They paid a big fine and maybe a few got fired.
I feel for the mother and child. I know they will be cared for back on the ground.

of the AMERICAN vet, 1 tour in Iraq. Vet's names is Temo Juarez, a naturalized American citizen. I think I read that she got deported after living with the vet as his wife for 20 years. I was hoping it was her. I really, really hate AG sessions and dumptrump.

(12,401 posts)Pretty sure she was already deported as I watched her pleading at the airport days ago and Mexico isnt a long flight. And they were not seeking asylum or protection... they have lived here for years.

Of course, this probably wouldn't happen, they'd put him in some fancy pants not even real jail. However it is totally what the kidnapper and torturer deserves.

(12,401 posts)Im glad some of us still remember that Iraq wasnt responsible for 9/11, and that thousands died on both sides (and continue) because Baby Bush was gunning for Saddam due to a personal vendetta.
Suddenly Vincent Van Dubya has become a kind elder statesman and artist, and all is forgiven.
Fortunately, most polls show 100% agreement that Cheney is the bowels and asshole of Satan. At least we have found a small compromise.

(13,894 posts)A spokeswoman for U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement, which implements deportations, did not respond to questions about why the Carmen and her daughter were removed from the country. We are complying with the courts order, and upon arrival in El Salvador, the plaintiffs will not disembark and will be promptly returned to the United States, ICE spokeswoman Justine Whelan said.

It's a shame we don't have a picture of Judge Sullivan when he found out. "Mad" is reportedly somewhat of an understatement.
