The future looked bright for Luis Eduardo Perez Parra, Leonel Rivas Gonzalez and Abrahan Josue Barrios last week.
After being held in immigration custody for over a year and facing the possibility of transfer to Guantánamo Bay, the three men asked a federal court to intervene, warning they might have “disappeared into the legal black hole” of Guantánamo.
Last Sunday, a federal judge in New Mexico handed down a surprise ruling blocking the Trump administration from sending the men to Guantánamo -- the first successful legal challenge to the policy since it was enacted last month.
But their victory was short-lived.
The very next day, the men were placed on the first deportation flight back to Venezuela in over a year, according to their lawyer Jessica Vosburgh.
“It's hard to imagine that it didn't have something to do with them filing a habeas petition and then stepping forward to challenge these threatened Guantanamo transfers,” Vosburgh told ABC News. “The court's order only applied to transfers to Guantánamo, this is just a slap in the face to get deported the next day.”

Get out.
Correct News Source is ABC NEWS / DISNEY

Omg—that was my exact suggestion.
Congrats to the Trump team!
It’s a surprise the federal judge in New Mexico did not enforce his/her ruling...

"she said she struggles to see what else could have led to the sudden deportation."
Gee, I don't know! Maybe they were here illegally in the first place?
“After being held in immigration custody for over a year”
The article, of course, neglects to mention that the custody must have begun during the Biden administration, presumably with its approval or authorization, just as it also neglects to mention why such detention might have been warranted.
Nope, just Trump, Trump, Trump.
Go to hell, you gaslighting authors of this propaganda piece.
LOOK HARD AT “JESSICA’S” CLIENTS
Winning.
RATS “winning” in court means nothing. They’ll always going to be losers.
We don't transfer prisoners at that gate anymore.

More the likely the same black-robed stooge who said Alex Baldwin didn’t shoot nobody. ROTFL!.
Your wish is granted. I hear it's lovely in Venezuela this time of year. Adios.
