(Reuters) - A federal judge on Thursday ordered an immigrant mother and daughter brought back to the United States after learning during a court hearing that the government had put them on a deportation flight to El Salvador.
The pair were among 12 plaintiffs in a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) challenging changes in asylum policies ordered by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Washington D.C. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan was hearing a request to stay the plaintiffs’ deportations, when the ACLU learned that two of them were already on a flight to Central America, the civil rights group said.
Upon hearing the news, Sullivan ordered their flight returned and suggested that Sessions could be held in contempt of court, according to the ACLU.
An official from the Department of Homeland Security said in an emailed statement that the agency is “complying with the court’s order, and upon arrival in El Salvador, the plaintiffs did not disembark and are currently en route back to the United States.”
During the hearing, the judge ordered a temporary stay on deporting the nine women and three children who filed the lawsuit, according to a court filing.
The lawsuit was filed on Tuesday in the District of Columbia by the ACLU. It challenges a recent tightening on standards for seeking U.S. asylum, which makes it far more difficult for those fleeing domestic or gang violence to win the right to remain in the United States.

no; wheel well
Bravo for saying that!
If Conservatives do not hold Trump's feet to the fire, who will?
Within the last month, Trump's EPA has agreed to enforce three terrible Obama regulations, Pence and Trump are vigorously praising “Prison Reform,” and Jared Kushner is trying to start new Israeli-Palestinian “Peace Talks.”
And I forgot to mention that Trump refuses to declassify and release dozens of “Russia Collusion” documents that would reveal FBI and DOJ corruption at the highest levels.
That was the plan if Felonia had won.
The News Misleadia would have made sure it wasn't in our faces, though.
These little Federal judge-presidents can't help "showing off" for The Resistance, however.
The reason that the left is LIVID with President Trump is that he's going to derail their complete take-over of the country through the Federal courts.
We've even got Justice Thomas making noises about giving these "nation-wide" injunctions a Supreme beat-down.
Can you imagine how much the airline SPEARED us American taxpayers for?
I’m dumb,I have spent 85 years living under the silly assumption that judges existed to INTERPRET laws that already existed.
What law did this judge say that Trump had broken?
.
“Judge Emmet Sullivan”
Well judge, what happens if the President ignores your black robed ass?
You got Marines? The Congress ought to impeach and convict your ass just like Alcee Hastings.

Odd. Sullivan is usually on the side of right. He’s the judge who is ordering all the FOIA stuff to be revealed.
Go get ‘em yourself Judgie.
Absolutely, and they will again too.
I am so sick and tired of this. It is as if our elected officials don’t care about Americans at all. Whose country is this? I don’t feel or think it is ours.
You cannot allow domestic or gang violence to be reason for asylum. Those are law enforcement issues in the victims country. How many in the world would claim asylum if this is allowed? Hundreds of millions? And why don’t they claim asylum in the first safe country they enter? Why is only a White country acceptable?
Is this how the country will be run now on?
Impeach them.
Sadly right
ILLEGAL ALIEN mother and daughter, not “immigrants,” Reuters.
This so-called “judge” should be jailed. Who elected him president?
“And why don’t they claim asylum in the first safe country they enter? Why is only a White country acceptable?”
I don’t think it’s so much a question of our ‘whiteness,” it’s more the we have figured out how to be more self-governing” that the rest of the Western Hemisphere by a wide margin. The problem is that they bring with them two undesirable attributes:
1. They are functionally illiterate and as a consequence, procreate like rabbits.
2. They are totally disconnected from the cause/effect relationship between their personal beliefs and the problems that they are trying to leave behind.
FFFFUUUUUUU TYRANT
WHY won’t these people be dealt with the right way?
Time to deport some judges I say.
One way OR ANOTHER!
They're in rebellion against the Constitution and should be arrested and prosecuted for sedition.
