New declaration filed in the case brought by unaccompanied migrant children appears to confirm that at least one of the planes carrying minors took off shortly before or during Judge Sooknanan’s hearing on whether to block the flights

SCROTUS will make the final (“legal”) decision.

Other declarations directly contradict the government’s claims that it is merely reunifying children with parents who requested their return to Guatemala
![Plaintiff Children's parents were similarly blindsided by the government's actions to suddenly remove their children from the United States. As M.Y.A.T.C.'s father explained: On or around August 15, 2025, my wife and I received a strange phone call. The person told us in Spanish that the U.S. government is going to soon deport [M.Y.A.T.C.]. as part a large group of Guatemalan children from the United States. The person asked us in Spanish whether we would be able to 8 Case 1:25-cv-02942-TJK Document 20-1 Filed 09/03/25 Page 15 of 50 receive [M.Y.A.T.C.] back. We told the person that [M.Y.A.T.C.] was going to school in the United States and that she has an attorney there. We were very surprised to receive this call. I was alarmed and extremely worried about my daughter after receiving this call. My wife and I told our daughter [M.Y.A.T.C.] about this call, and she became very worried and scared. We do not know why we received this call. We never asked for [M.Y.A.T.C.] to be sent back to Guatemala. Ex.

The Trump Administration are horribly lawless. SCOTUS may be too. But it’s just empowering the states and state governors. @angrystaffer.bsky.social @meidastouch.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social

During the trump #45 years they were just learning how to do cruelty to children. I'm sure Stephen Miller did nothing but use think tank resources on all possible ways to make that worse during the Biden interregnum.

Remember, trumpy Republicans lie almost all the time, even when under oath and even in documents filed with courts. All the time. Trust nothing.

At least they actually sent the plane back this time.

When is Ensign going to be held in contempt?! This has become stock behavior at this point.

Did he actually do anything contemptuous this time? They turned the plane around! The fact they forced a judge to wake up at 2:30 AM to order it is horseshit, but it sounds like Ensign actually did what she ordered him to do.

They're claiming that all the children were being removed at the request of their parents/families. And according to affidavits, that's a lie.

Oh, sure, I agree there is absolutely contempt here. My question is specifically if Ensign is the contemnor or if he's merely acting as an interface for the actual contemnors. (Noem et al should be thrown in a dark pit and never see the light of day again)

Complete and utter monsters. Who rips children out of bed in the middle of the night to fly them back to a country where they have faced fear, abuse and neglect? The only answer is monsters.

Had the judge not moved up the hearing, sounds like they would have gone with the planes are beyond jurisdiction again.
