Awfully young boy getting a chain wrapped around his waist here. These kids *appear* to have been deported with their mothers. So not the unaccompanied minors from the court case, though ICE may have intended to have unaccompanied minors on this flight before the judge stopped them.

That was a weird one. That particular plane has had many maintenance issues and resulting delays over the past few weeks, so I suspect this was a test flight (never got abover 10K feet) to troubleshoot some ongoing mechanical issue.

Well, we know from the court hearing today that ICE wanted to deport up to 600 unaccompanied children to Guatemala, but the judge issued an emergency order stopping them from doing so. My informed guess is that they had at least some of them ready to go *on these planes* before the hold came down.
