(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.

Why are we wasting a penny flying these criminal invaders back? We need to just dump them on the other side of the border and they can find their own way back just like they found it here. Once we have a wall and the gate we can do that. OK so where the hell is it! Do nothing traitor l Congress.
WTH! You want him to become a CongressCritter like Alcee Hastings???
Trump has unfettered power on all immigration matters per SCOTUS. Why are there even listening to these DAZI judges. What a joke. GET THE ILLEGAL ALIENS OUT OF HERE NOW!!
He’s been in the DC courts since Reagan.

ICE Air is a little more costly...
“Transporting deportees to their home countries cost an average of $1,978 per person last year, according to ICE.
A chartered flight costs about $7,785 per flight hour, ICE says. That covers the cost of not only the aircraft and fuel, but also a pilot, flight crew, security personnel and a nurse onboard.”

#4;8. the problem with Alcee Hastings is that he was elected to Congress by “his” voters.
Sometimes shit wins even when it stinks to high heaven.
Time for Trump to give these assholes a taste of their own medicine and ignore all rulings. State that if they don’t have to follow the law or constitution, they why should he. Take the Andrew Jackson approach. You wanna make laws, come and enforce them. This crap of taking everyone of their half assed rulings for a 8 month review to the SCOTUS, is over. F these judges.
Excellent article about Communists and the New Leftists Clintons and Eric Holder.
Sort of up to him isn't it? I would like to believe the "Q" crap but I can't see any evidence whatsoever that there is an attack being mounted against the Deep State.
Jeff Sessions is at the very least a doofus tool, at worst a fully cooperating enemy of the Republic. Either way the result is the same.
I’m waiting for the next judge to cut to the chase and just order Hillary Clinton to take over as president.
Then we can finish this idiocy off once and for all.
I meant to say “Trump can say it’s obvious anyone under indictment CAN’T serve...” Most, even democrat politians, won’t know Trump could be wrong.
By the way, do you know of any AGs who served while under indictment? And do you believe any republican AG could stay on office?
If you want to see what's going on, read this article from Benjamin Wittes before the election. Wittes is up to his neck in the swamp along with Brennan and Clapper.
A Coalition of All Democratic Forces, Part III: What if Trump Wins?
True-— remember it was “She don’t lie, she don’t lie, she don’t lie.... Cocaine!” was what the Castros could offer the Bill Clinton powder monkey vacuum nose and the dem cash political machine back in Arkansas. The Castros were major illegal drug transshippers. Their money in the Cuban Bank in Switzerland... probably still is, along with everything else they have raked off.
As Roger Clinton said to an undercover agent on tape, more or less, “Save some for my brother. He’s got a nose like a vacuum cleaner!”
Him and what army? Makes me sick, angry and helpless. It is not as if voting helps.
Decertify, identify, depensionize, and incarcerate.
