Zapata has diabetes, hyperlipidemia & hypothyroidism, according to her lawyer, Lauren O’Neal. Because of those conditions, the Congolese Interior Ministry told #ICE in a letter that it could not accept her because it could not provide adequate medical care….
“The government sent her to the #DRC, anyway,” the judge, Richard J. Leon, wrote, adding, “Sending plaintiff to the DRC, therefore, was likely illegal.”

Judge Orders US to Return #Colombian Woman Deported to #Congo
The unusual ruling came after the judge found that the #Trump admin had most likely violated the #law by deporting the 55-year-old woman to the African country despite its refusal to take her.
The judge ordered the admin to return the woman, Adriana Maria Quiroz Zapata to the #US, a rare instance of a judge doing so amid the admin’s #deportation campaign.

#Cameroon has, for more than 4 decades, been led by a strongman president, Paul Biya. The #Trump admin opted not to criticize his disputed re-election in October, & said nothing afterward when security forces waged a deadly crackdown on #protesters.
That gave the #US leverage weeks later, diplomats wrote, when it came time to negotiate a #deportation deal.

The documents obtained by NYT include confidential #State Department correspondence & a funding memo, which connects the money transfer [#bribe] to the #Cameroon #deportation arrangement. The files, coupled with confirmation from officials, reveal how the #US government used financial pressure [#extortion] & political incentives to secure a deal that the deportees’ lawyer compared to “selling people.” [#slavery]
#law #immigration #rendition #MafiaState #HumanRights #DueProcess #Trump

The deal is part of a broader #Trump admin campaign to coax countries to accept immigrants who cannot be legally deported from the #US to their home countries because they would likely face persecution. It is also the clearest example to date of the diplomatic horse-trading the US uses to engineer such agreements.

Nice! Federal Judge #Xinis issues order to prohibit immigration officials from rearresting & detaining #KilmarAbregoGarcia
Kilmar Abrego Garcia walked away after a scheduled appointment at an #ICE field office on Friday to the cheers of a crowd assembled outside. A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking #immigration officials from detaining him.

Judge #Xinis also alternatively finds that the govt is not detaining him to execute a removal order — because if they did want to deport him they could have sent him to Costa Rica any time since August but have refused to do so (& lied about why) because the admin wants to send him to #Africa [where it is very likely he would be killed].

Here is the full text what the immigration judge ordered in 2019. As Judge #Xinis notes, NONE of these three things include an order of removal.
The government tried to argue that the withholding grant was "implicitly" a removal order, but the #law requires an explicit one.

US District Judge Paula #Xinis ruled that #ICE must release #KilmarAbregoGarcia from custody immediately.
“Since Abrego Garcia’s return from wrongful detention in El Salvador, he has been re-detained, again without lawful authority,” the judge wrote. “For this reason, the Court will GRANT Abrego Garcia’s Petition for immediate release from ICE custody.”

#Informant agreements are based on assurances the cooperators will be #protected by the #UnitedStates. Reneging on promises made in exchange for information will hinder the ability of US #LawEnforcement to develop relationships with potential cooperators in the future.

“The deal is a deep betrayal of US law enforcement, whose agents risked their lives to apprehend the gang members,” said Douglas Farah, a US contractor who worked with federal officials to investigate & help dismantle the #MS13 gang.
Nixing the agreements also threatens to damage the credibility of the #DOJ, which routinely relies on #informants to build cases against high-level criminals, ofcls said.

While the outlines of the quid pro quo have been public for months, the #Trump admin’s willingness to renege on secret arrangements made with #informants who had aided #US investigations has not been previously reported.
…The deal would give #Bukele possession of individuals who threatened to expose the alleged *deals* his govt made with #MS13 to help achieve #ElSalvador’s historic drop in violence, officials said.

To #deport them to #ElSalvador, AG #PamBondi would need to terminate the #DOJ’s arrangements with those men, #MarcoRubio said. He assured #Bukele that Bondi would complete that process & Washington would hand over the MS-13 leaders.
Rubio’s extraordinary pledge illustrates the extent to which the #Trump admin was willing to meet Bukele’s demands as it negotiated what would become one of the signature agreements of Trump’s early months in office.

#LeeGelernt, who argued the case for the #ACLU, said Tuesday: “The #Trump administration’s use of a wartime statute during peacetime to regulate #immigration was rightly shut down by the court. This is a critically important decision reining in the administration’s view that it can simply declare an emergency without any oversight by the courts.”

A federal appeals court panel ruled Tuesday that Trump cannot use an 18th-century wartime #law to speed the #deportations of people his admin accuses of membership in a Venezuelan gang, blocking a signature admin push that is destined for a final showdown at the #SCOTUS.

…The plan also comes amid intensifying #legal efforts to block the admin from using #Guantanamo Bay to house #immigrant detainees altogether. A federal class-action lawsuit pending in Washington indicates that there are roughly 70 immigrant detainees currently held there & facing “punitive” conditions, such as insufficient food, weekly changes of clothes & rodent infestation.

Some 800 Europeans — including 1 Austrian, 100 Romanians & 170 Russians — are being considered for the transfers, acc/to one of the documents. That element of the plan has alarmed some US diplomats, who note that most #European countries are American #allies that are cooperative in taking back deportees & that there’s no need to send the people to #Guantanamo.

The discussions come as the #Trump admin presses #ICE for higher arrest numbers, w/snr policy adviser #StephenMiller calling for 3,000 #arrests a day. The agency is also tight on #detention space & pushing for funding from #Congress to hire more agents & expand domestic detention capacity.

The #Trump admin is planning to dramatically ramp up its transfer of undocumented #immigrants to #GuantanamoBay. Some 9,000 people are being screened, including hundreds from #Europe….
That would be an exponential increase from the ~500 immigrants who have been held for short periods at the base since Feb & a major step toward realizing a plan Trump announced in Jan to use #Gitmo to hold as many as 30k immigrants.

In the days before the govt’s error became public, #DHS ofcls discussed trying to portray #KilmarAbregoGarcia as a “leader” of the violent street gang #MS13, even though they could find NO EVIDENCE to support the claim.

Cooper points to Wilkinson line in 4th Circuit opinion that the government's claim that there's nothing more to be done to facilitate return is "shocking" to the conscience & that indicates that there's #misconduct

#Xinis: Maybe we need to table this for sealed hearing.
Guynn agrees.
Xinis: Anything else to talk about in open court before we get into the nitty gritty in close session?
Cooper, for Abrego Garcia, interjects to raise issue about government #misconduct.

#Xinis: C'mon, you took over this case. You read that transcript.
There's a back-&-forth between Guynn & Xinis. Guynn eventually agrees to assume for the sake of argument that Garcia was unlawfully detained/removed.
But says even if that's assumed, there's still no showing of govt #misconduct on that basis
