So eager to deport little children, the Trump administration is caught lying about it in court

[j brown's body]

Does anything symbolize their cruelty and corruption more starkly than this?

Most people lie to get their way. But when these guys talk, its not to convince you of the facts. Its to impose the idea on us that tuere are no facts. Just narratives.

Trump admin’s basis for deporting Guatemalan kids ‘crumbled like a house of cards,’ judge rules

"A federal judge appointed by President Donald Trump has blocked the administration’s bid to deport hundreds of Guatemalan children to their home country, concluding that U.S. officials’ claims about the operation had “crumbled like a house of cards.” U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly issued a preliminary injunction Thursday, extending a block on the deportations first issued by Biden-appointed Judge Sparkle Sooknanan last month. Sooknanan, who was the emergency judge on call over Labor Day weekend, raced to block the operation after immigrant rights’ lawyers sued in the middle of the night as the children were being picked up from startled caregivers and loaded onto planes at an airport in Texas.

A Justice Department attorney told Sooknanan at the time that the lawsuit to block the deportations was “outrageous” because parents of the children had requested their return and some were waiting at an airport in Guatemala for them. After Sooknanan’s ruling, Trump allies — including some in the White House — attacked the judge, contending she was blocking Guatemalan kids from reuniting with their parents.

“The Biden judge is effectively kidnapping these migrant children and refusing to let them return home to their parents in their home country,” Trump aide Stephen Miller wrote on X that day. But Kelly, in his ruling Thursday, said that allegation was simply not true. Many of the administration’s claims, he noted, fell apart quickly when the Guatemalan government reported that it was unable to locate most of the children’s parents, and those it could find said they had not sought their children’s return and preferred for them to seek economic opportunity in the United States.

Kelly repeatedly chided the administration for making the baseless claim."

Can't believe a single word out of this administrations mouth.

The parents seem to be undermining the asylum claims of their children. "Seek[ing] economic opportunity" is not the basis of a valid claim to asylum.

What does that have to do with the incompetency and corruption of Trump lying in an effort to deport little children?
