In a brief order issued from Federal District Court in the Western District of Louisiana, Judge Terry A. Doughty questioned why the #Trump admin had sent the #child — known in court papers only as V.M.L. — to Honduras with her mother even though her father had sought in an emergency petition on Thurs to stop the girl from being sent abroad.#law #immigration #TheCrueltyIsThePoint #DueProcess #judiciary

“The government contends that this is all OK because the mother wishes that the #child be deported with her,” wrote Judge Doughty, a conservative #Trump appointee. “But the court doesn’t know that.”Asserting that “it is #illegal & #unconstitutional to deport” a #UScitizen, Judge Doughty set a hearing for May 16 to explore his “strong suspicion that the government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process.”#law #immigration #TheCrueltyIsThePoint #DueProcess #judiciary

The case of V.M.L.…is the latest challenge to the legality of several aspects of #Trump’s aggressive #deportation efforts.The admin has already been blocked by 6 federal judges in courts across the country from removing #Venezuelan migrants accused of being gang members to #ElSalvador under a rarely invoked wartime statute. It has also created an uproar by wrongfully deporting a Maryland man, #KilmarAbregoGarcia, to El Salvador &…refusing to work to bring him back.#law #immigration #DueProcess

Acc/to court papers, the 2-year-old girl had accompanied her mother, Jenny Carolina Lopez Villela, & her older sister, Valeria, to an #immigration appointment in NewOrleans on Tues when they were taken into custody by #ICE.Ms. Lopez Villela was scheduled for an expedited removal from the country on Fri. And in a filing to Judge Doughty, lawyers for the #Trump #DOJ claimed that she “made known to ICE officials that she wanted to retain custody of VML & for VML to go” w/her to Honduras.#law

But in a petition filed by the #child’s custodian, Trish Mack, on Thurs, her father claimed that when he spoke briefly w/Ms. Lopez Villela, he could hear her & the #children crying. The father reminded her, the petition said, that “their daughter was a #UScitizen & could not be deported.”The father, who was not identified by name in the petition, tried to give Ms. Lopez Villela the phone number for a lawyer, but he claims that officials cut short the call.#law #Trump #immigration #DueProcess

@Nonilex "Fellow citizens, the world is a work in progress, and America is supposed to be leading it to justice and the humane treatment of all. And we can't do that if we are unjust and inhumane ourselves, as then we become no different than all other despots, destined to sink into the same obscurity.In fact history records that nations that have attempted to control our globe through brutality and force have always failed.America's moral authority once provided us with great power beyond that of mere arms, and has many times led others to act more humanely even if not originally in their nature.So please, do not discount, or overrate, the power of good. But instead hold it in balance, and reflect upon what it has achieved, and what it has failed to achieve. And, if you do so objectively, I think you will find that there is indeed an inherent power in good, and an inherent weakness in evil. For one upholds and uplifts humanity, while the other suppresses and cripples it."SearingTruth

The detention of VML “is without any basis in #law & violates her fundamental #DueProcess rights,” the petition said. “She seeks this court’s urgent action & asks the court to order her immediate release to her custodian Trish Mack, who is ready & waiting to take her home.”Judge Doughty said in his order that he tried to investigate what had happened himself by trying to get Ms. Lopez Villela on the phone on Friday shortly after noon to “survey her consent & custodial rights.”#Trump

The judge expressed concern that a plane carrying the mother & her daughters was by then already “above the Gulf of America.” His suspicions were confirmed, he wrote, when a lawyer for the #Trump #DOJ told him at 1:06PM that day that Ms. Lopez Villela & presumably her #children “had just been released in Honduras.”#law #immigration #TheCrueltyIsThePoint #DueProcess #judiciary #Constitution #AbuseOfPower

@Nonilex La majorité des citoyens US a élu un fasciste car ils sont eux-mêmes fascistes. Le message de l'assaut du Capitol était clair, comme l'était celui de la tentative de coup d'état de Hitler en novembre 1923. Trump (et ses affidés) fait ce pourquoi il a été élu, c'est à dire que les USA fassent une politique suprémaciste, vis à vis du reste du monde et vis à vis de ce qu'il considère comme des ennemis intérieurs. Vous étiez prévenus!
