They have never been empowered to deport or "return."
Their resistance, of necessity must remain passive. I totally understand their dilemma.
That might be true.
But was this federal agency ever empowered to refuse direct orders and conduct a mutiny against their superiors?
Are you not the same one who implied I was someone else here apparently attempting to be deceitful after an unknown, unnamed person stated it was a federal agency who refused orders? Alleging they actually mutinied against their superiors and got those buses turned buses around?
