Final update tonight. Andrew Denton is also out. Have also crossed out Michael Veitch & Tracey Lee Holmes as they were part of Better Off Said, which is out.
Remember the list is a not final. Don't assume those not crossed out are going

And we just heard the Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister telling David Speers on #abc730 that "there is no starvation in Gaza".

With a few final matters, the hearing is now over.
Great job by the ACLU and partners in getting this lawsuit filed so quickly, and on Judge Boasberg for understanding the urgency. We'll have to watch to see whether the planes are turned around in time, as at least one is in the air now.

Why hasn't DFAT already issued a travel warning for the US? #auspol
ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.
No one knows why he was detained.

Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.
