The LGML case came very close to being JGG redux. But just before the hearing began, the judge decided not to wait. She entered a TRO barring removal of all the children. That made all the difference: DHS already had the kids loaded on planes. One plane even took off (then turned around).

Indeed. The judge and her staff put in an effort that should be turned into a 2 hour thriller of a movie, working 20ish straight hours and at one point got a plane full of kids to turn around and land. Also, she may be the single most accomplished judge in the entirety of our system 1/2
