This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

The LGML case came very close to being JGG redux.
But just before the hearing began, the judge decided not to wait. She entered a TRO barring removal of all the children.
That made all the difference: DHS already had the kids loaded on planes. One plane even took off (then turned around).

This whole scenario feels like it's straight outta the government's Alien Enemies Act/J.G.G. playbook.
In J.G.G., Boasberg entered TRO barring removal of named plaintiffs and set weekend emergency hearing on certification of class. But DHS started removing people just before/during hearing...
