79 on the plane today. They are gonna deport the rest of those kids tonight. Look at the evasive language. So goddamn obvious. Wake up!

How is this not as horrific as Putin kidnapping Ukrainian children? Children are not safe while this regime is in power. Where is the media coverage? Press conferences? Shameful.

For having been waken up at 2:45am because of this case, Judge Sooknanan is a beast of a woman who actually cares about the case, and it is also obvious she is not buying what DOJ is trying to sell her at face value.

sep 1, 2025, 1:13 am • 29 2 • view

With due respect to Judge Sooknanan, she almost certainly gave instructions to her law clerk to keep filing minute orders demanding further status reports until DOJ accounted for every child, and has been getting her well-deserved sleep for the last several hours while the clerk remains awake.

I thought there were about 600 children. That status report accounts for 76 children. What the heck?

sep 1, 2025, 1:31 am • 5 1 • view

The status report only addresses the children who were loaded on planes. There are lots of others in the putative class who didn’t get so close to deportation.

Thank you. I misunderstood and thought they’d loaded 600 kids on planes.

This is great - no deference from Sparkle - “I am your Captain now” approach, which is the right way with these scum

Thank you for your diligent reporting. Was there only one plane or several because they referenced one turning back this morning which makes me think there was more than one yet the number of children seems low for "several" planes.

She’s running on adrenaline having been awake since approximately 1 am. Hell hath no fury like a judge awakened in the middle of the night.

Does anyone know how I could offer my home to a few of these children? I already adopted my son as a baby from Guatemala and he is 18 now. We have some room and my heart breaks for these kids. I want to help. Who can I contact?

I have some online friends who provide short-term foster care for children that show up at the border without a parent, until they can be united with other family here in the states. They do it through this organization: bethany.org/help-a-child...

If they don't have a short-term program in your area you can also contact the following orgs: 1) www.globalrefuge.org/what-we-do/c... 2) www.usccb.org/committees/m...

I remember when she was nominated and confirmed because I actually know somebody named Sparkle and I had never heard of another human called that. Is she still awake from 2:00 a.m. this morning? And do we know who actually called her at that hour? I'm just wondering how that even works.

sep 1, 2025, 1:02 am • 18 1 • view

Probably one of her clerks

If you or I needed a federal judge immediately at 2:00 in the morning on the Sunday of a holiday weekend, what number would we call?

sep 1, 2025, 2:37 am • 5 0 • view

Yup. She’s still awake, as are (presumably) her clerks. All because the DOJ is only staffed with evil mf’rs these days.

@jjindc.bsky.social is one of the flight trackers that reported on the three planes going to Guatemala from El Paso this morning. Check his timeline for specific airlines but obviously this is also on DHS and ICE for trying to secretly move these kids in the middle of the night

Debatable about letting it slide. Justice is slow but “as of January 20, 2025, 1,575 people were charged in connection with the January 6 attack. The FBI has estimated that around 2,000 people took part in criminal acts at the event” DT undid all that work with his sweeping pardon.

If you start here, and scroll down, you’ll see the planes that are likely in play either never went anywhere, or like this one, actually departed and returned. As represented in court. I am NOT defending Ensign or the DOJ, I’m just as surprised as you that they told the truth.

Lord, I hate that we live in a time when “wow, the government *didn’t* lie about the kids they snatched!” is a thing at all, let alone a surprise.

"Approximately?" Judge Sooknanan didn't say: approximately, 10:30 PM!! Why does DOJ play these games? They're more immature than an actual child!!

Truly a wild thing for a federal judge to feel necessary to do b/c of the Government's duplicitous conduct. I'm heartened that, ultimately, it appears there will be compliance. For now.
