11/ Judge Sooknanan takes the recess time to read the declarations attached to the TRO motions which are horrifying & she says "do not line up with what I'm hearing from the gov't." These kids express traumatic fear at being sent back to Guatemala. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

5. I do not have any family in Guatemala that can take good care of me. My father does not take good care of me. My mother is dead. 6. I came to the United States after experiencing abuse, neglect and family violence. If I am sent back, I will not be able to live safely. I won’t have anyone to protect me.

Trump and the Republicans are trying to get rid of a bunch of teenagers seeking asylum and to live with other family here!

12/ Judge Sooknanan says she will wait to see what the gov't briefs by Friday (at gov't request) but from what she saw it does not look like they're complying with the law. She reiterates that she tried to call the gov't in the middle of the night & could not reach anyone before entering the TRO.

13/ We'll continue to monitor the docket (again linked below) to see when DOJ files the status report that these kids have been returned to ORR custody and aren't stuck on the tarmac terrified for their lives. This administration's cruelty knows no bounds. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71240...
