The judge ordered the plane to turn around and bring back to the US deported immigrants

Upon learning that the Trump administration unexpectedly deported a mother and daughter, whose asylum case was to be heard that day, a US federal judge decided to return the woman and child to the United States without disembarking them from the plane at the destination.

On Thursday during a hearing in the federal court in Washington, the judge learned that the government unexpectedly deported two immigrant women: the mother and daughter had already flown to Central America, although their case should have been considered that day. The judge was furious and decided to prevent such incidents from now on, writes NBC News.

The District Judge of the United States from the District of Columbia, Emmett Sullivan, presided at the court hearing in a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Social Policy and Gender Studies. At the time of his appearance in court, he was confident that none of the plaintiffs in the case would be deported at least until midnight on Friday.

The judge did not act quite normally: he ordered the administration to deploy the plane and return the participants to the United States. Sullivan also ordered the government to stop bringing the plaintiffs out of the country in cases of protection against banditry and domestic violence.

The plaintiffs who were aboard the aircraft were identified as Carmen and her youngest daughter (real names are not called). At that moment, as the leading attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, Jennifer Cheng Newell, said, the women were halfway up from Texas in El Salvador.

The Department of Homeland Security stated that "it was following the order of the court, and upon arrival in El Salvador, the plaintiffs would not get off the plane and would be promptly returned to the United States."

A lawsuit was filed to challenge Prosecutor General Jeff Session’s decision to exclude banditry and domestic violence from the list of reasons for granting asylum to immigrants. For its plaintiffs, the Union demanded that these points be restored.

Sullivan "suggested" government officials, including Sessions, to interrupt the deportation of two plaintiffs and stated that their deportation was "unacceptable."

“In its quest to deport as many immigrants as possible, the Trump administration is putting these women and children at grave risk of rape, beating or murder,” Newell said. “We are dismayed that the government deported our clients early this morning and will not rest until they are returned to safety.”
