That’s horrible. Inhumane…of course.

That is absolutely horrible. Just leave the shackled and handcuffed detainees behind.

GlobalX ... I will remember the name of this airlines who agreed to undertake the deportations under these conditions.

"alleged" gang members ... we know how that goes. No proof required. Just any tattoo will do.


Donald Trump may continue using a 1798 law to deport alleged gang members to Venezuela, the supreme court ruled on Monday, however it will apply certain limits. Any challenges to the wartime law, called the Alien Enemies Act, must take place in Texas, where the migrants were held, and not in Washington DC, the court said.

In a 5-4 ruling, the court granted the Trump administration’s request to lift a Washington DC-based judge’s order temporarily blocking the deportations.

However, the court did not immediately address whether the administration improperly utilized the act, writing in its order instead that such a determination must be made in Texas court: “The detainees are confined in Texas, so venue is improper in the District of Columbia.”

This is an article from mid-March, the report deadline is April 20th. That is when the US will find out if Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act.

The last time the Insurrection Act was used was to quell the Los Angeles riots in 1992 after the police beat up Rodney King.

I am reading opinions that "of course" he will invoke the Act. Can he then use the military against (so far) peaceful protests about the deportations and other things?


Nearly halfway through the 90-day deadline set by one of President Donald Trump's first executive orders upon reentering office, top national security officials are preparing a report on the U.S. southern border, which could determine whether Trump invokes the Insurrection Act of 1807.

The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a federal law that allows the president to deploy the military and National Guard to quell unrest, such as an insurrection or rebellion, or to enforce the law in certain situations.

Critics worry that invoking the act would consolidate federal power and give Trump more leeway to use the military for domestic law enforcement or immigration enforcement.

Mother and 3 Children Detained by ICE at Upstate N.Y. Farm Are Released​

The family was returned to New York after being taken into custody last month and held at a detention center in Texas, officials and advocates said.

[...]

The case sent shock waves through tiny Sackets Harbor, N.Y., a village of about 1,400 people on Lake Ontario where the children were enrolled, and well liked, at the town’s school.

[...]

School officials, who helped bring attention to the case, expressed relief about the family’s release on Monday.

“My colleagues and I are thrilled to announce that after 10 days of uncertainty, our students and their mother are returning home,” Jennifer L. Gaffney, the Sackets Harbor schools superintendent, said in a statement.

“In this difficult time,” she added, “the strength and compassion of our community have shone through to support our missing family and the entire school community.”

At the rally on Saturday, supporters of the family gathered in downtown Sackets Harbor before bringing the protest to the doorstep of Mr. Homan, marching to a vacation home he owns in the village.

I am very relieved to hear the little family is back in New York but this story gives me pause; it really makes it seem as though the family's "rescue" from ICE was due largely to the fact that the family was known (and the children were "well-liked") within their small community. I am grateful that the neighbors/community members did everything they could to compel ICE to release the family, but what would've happened to immigrants who were not as well-known, or not as "well-liked," within their communities?
I also wonder about why this effort (of the community to obtain the family's release from TX back to NY) succeeded while other similar efforts currently happening aren't working? In addition to the well-publicized case of the wrongfully-deported father from Maryland who's now stuck in limbo in El Salvador after the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court "paused" the order for his return (Chief Justice Roberts pauses deadline for return of Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador), and the hairstylist/makeup artist from Venezuela who's also in El Salvador (‘He is not a gang member’: outrage as US deports makeup artist to El Salvador prison for crown tattoos), there's a case happening not far from me where an individual was detained by ICE after a routine appointment to renew his work authorization documents, and though he, too, is much loved within the community, I have serious concerns about whether our local and state politicians are going to be willing or able to do anything to stop him from being deported to a hellish prison in a foreign country that he has no connection to.

Wow! 100 armed personnel and they managed 3 arrests. I'll wait for further articles that corroborate these are genuine illegal immigrants and criminals.
What I don't understand though is, if they've all had criminal records in the states and confirmed links to gangs etc as well as all being in America illegally, which presumably would have been discovered when former criminal charges were brought against them - why has it taken so long to arrest, detain and legally deport them?
Seems like a massive up somewhere.

WASHINGTON, April 8 - The Trump administration plans to fine migrants under deportation orders up to $998 a day if they fail to leave the United States and to seize their property if they do not pay, according to documents reviewed by Reuters.
The fines stem from a 1996 law, opens new tab that was enforced for the first time in 2018, during President Donald Trump's first term in office. The Trump administration plans to apply the penalties retroactively for up to five years, which could result in fines of more than $1 million, a senior Trump official said, requesting anonymity to discuss non-public plans.

NW Ohio tutor who entered country legally facing deportation, community calls for change

School leaders and the community are rallying around Marc Rocher, trying to get officials to change the decision.

www.13abc.com

Rocher is a tutor at Columbus Grove Local Schools and Lima City Schools. He is from Haiti and fled the country due to violence. He came to the United States through a legal pathway on a parole program. He has a job, volunteers, leads youth groups and teaches English classes.

A few students at the school are from Haiti as well and he has helped them learn English while being their role model.

Rocher recently learned that his parole program was being terminated and that he was given 30 days to self deport from the country. The 30 days expire near the end of April.

Infuriating.

Learning a lot here … parole (a strange term so I looked it up) is a temporary stay in USA … with an expiry date.

That seems like a bit of a joke. What are they honestly going to get from these migrants? They are not rich. I would imagine many of them can't even afford a flight out of the country. The US taxpayer has to pay for that.

Acting IRS commissioner to resign over deal to share immigrants’ tax data with ICE to help deport them, AP sources say.

"A collection of tax law experts for the NYU Tax Law Center wrote Monday that the IRS-DHS agreement “threatens to violate the rights that many more Americans have under longstanding laws that protect their tax information from wrongful disclosure or dissemination.”

“In fact, it is difficult to see how the IRS could release information to DHS while complying with taxpayer privacy statutes,” they said. “IRS officials who sign off on data sharing under these circumstances risk breaking the law, which could result in criminal and civil sanctions.” "

IRS acting commissioner is resigning over deal to send immigrants' tax data to ICE, AP sources say

WASHINGTON (AP) — The acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service is resigning over a deal to share immigrants' tax data with Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the purpose of identifying and deporting people illegally in the U.S., according to two people familiar with the decision.
