Thank you. And I think I know the answer to this question (money), but would you please find out and explain to us why hostages are in Louisiana and not in their home states, near their lawyers and family?

For the exact reason in your question...far away from anyone who can help them.

Different judges.

I think of the "excuses" they'll point to is that ICE doesn't have detention centers in MA, etc. so they have to bring people somewhere else. I would argue that means they shouldn't be detaining people at all in those states, but you know...

Because the judges are more deportation friendly in Louisiana! Very Conservative

Don't forget getting away from sympathetic local citizens. Slavecatchers used to do the same thing, try and get out of state before word of a kidnapping got around. If they failed, they could end up on the wrong side of a riot.

They are trying to change the jurisdiction before lawyers can file anything, plus judge shopping.

Profit making, isolation, making it impossible to get released if their family and friends haven't got many funds. To see how much they can get away with before folks are pushed too far. This is all testing the waters.

My understanding is to make it as difficult as possible to get them out - the distance is on purpose, so that a lawyer, family members and other supporters can't easily access them/advocate for them and pressure ICE to follow the law. Truly awful.

And probably to get their appeals in front of a more conservative 5th circuit.

The Supreme Court really doesn't trust the 5th Circuit anymore.

Maybe. A few decisions do not convince me of that.

i’m certain the good Senator will have a better answer than mine but… estranging their targets from their known support system is part of deportation*-101 this also increases the costs for anyone trying to to defend them. case in point: a US Senator from MA having to fly to LA *in the Nazi meaning
