The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend until Judge Sooknanan entered an order to stop it.
I second your post! Thank God somebody’s watching what these despicable fascists are doing, and thank God someone is stopping them, at least this time.
There should not be a single pilot who would fly a plane full of unaccompanied children anywhere for this fascist regime. Any pilot who does so is as evil as those giving the orders.
I think you hit on the biggest issue here. If all the guards, the pilots, the workers strike, and, refused to to their dirty work, they wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Interestingly enough, many (most?) of us learned in school or elsewhere to ridicule the Nazi accomplices who were "just following orders." Too bad the lesson didn't sink in deep enough.
I know. I totally agree. What’s tragic is that there’s an entire generation who seems to know little about why we fought Hitler during WWII. The public schools also dropped civics about 25-30 yrs-ago.
Yeah. I don’t think it’s simple to -just say no- although I wish it was. This coming revolution is just merely beginning for Us. The Federalist society has beat it for 20+ years. Fox News for 30+
Yes, Carrie. Start arresting pilots and airlines transporting immigrants and others to other countries or other illegal horrible places like Alligator Alcatraz.
Arrests in this climate are highly unlikely. What we're calling for is civil disobedience on the part of the pilots, the airlines, and anyone asked to violate U.S. law, international law, and basic human decency.
If the judge issued a judicial warrant, the pilots could be arrested. It seems that might be a quick way to incentivise the pilots to refuse to fly and make the point that it's illegal.
Unaccompanied minors?!? And was there proof of to whom they were going to be given? ICE/DHS was literally trying to ferret 600 unaccompanied minors out of the country in the dead of night and not "returning children to families" in an orderly manner in broad daylight for all to see, including proof of the minors actually being returned to their families. Thank you, Judge Sooknanan, for stopping this shocking travesty of justice.
As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.
“And I tried to reach the government. I have been up since then..and didn't reach anyone from the government until later this morning. And the imminence that the plaintiff claimed proved true, because, in fact, those planes *were* loaded. One actually took off and was returned.
Thank goodness we still have people in power who care. She stayed up and stayed on it!! These are the people who are everything. Thanks for this article, Allison!
We have become a nation of open cruelty, especially toward children abroad and within our own borders - starving, slaughtering children in Gaza with our tax dollars, denying children in need in the world, any of our care, letting those tax dollars instead go into the bloody pockets of the already rich, we are caging and deporting children, ripping them from their families, in the US, we allow children in every state to be shot in places of learning and worship, we allow pedophiles to go free and unpunished to continue their damage… the veils of hypocrisy have disintegrated
She ordered they cannot be removed to Guatemala. Does that mean The Regime can (or will try to) remove them to a different country? Oh, say, Uganda or Sudan?
sigh... thank god for Sooknanan

God has nothing to do with it. It was good people in the right place at the right time. Courageous people!!
If God were protecting children they would be with their families in the US.
Good people are god in my book.
Amen 🙌
Thank god?
This administration obviously does not believe.
Why do we?
Time to be real and stop with the useless appeals to a god who is obviously hard of hearing.
I thank god for every good person in this world. We are all listening.
I'm with you! I'm thankful for the Judges with integrity and spines. Which God, specifically, am I suppose to "thank" for that?
Thank heavens for those rare, brave, upstanding individuals like Judge Sooknanan.
Is it not sad as shit that a judge doing the legal right thing is a hero? Thank you Judge Sooknanan and please keep on keeping on
until we can rid ourselves of the nazi zombies!

WE did. The maggots must have skipped that class.
You are so right.
Exactly! Just say no to doing evil! Don’t know how the lackeys can live with themselves.
Yeah. I don’t think it’s simple to -just say no- although I wish it was. This coming revolution is just merely beginning for Us. The Federalist society has beat it for 20+ years. Fox News for 30+
They don’t care.

Absolutely

There is no doubt that these kids would be left in the terminal wherever they landed and someone else would have to do something.
Or worse.
So grateful for those who are keeping watch! And for you for reporting this.

Cruelty is the point of this administration… That’s it folks, these Nazi wannabes want to set the agenda.
Fascism is all about power. The cruelty is to instill fear in people so they can control you.
This criminal act of kidnapping is the effort of Stephen Miller and Trump IMO.
