Kelley filed an emergency petition asking for Tipan Echeverria and his daughter’s release around 5:37 p.m. Thursday, less than five hours after they were taken into ICE custody, the affidavit states. About 40 minutes later, she filed a motion asking a judge to stop the transfer of Tipan Echeverria outside Minnesota and to order the release of the child.
Over the next several hours, Kelley placed numerous calls to ICE counsel to bring their attention to the filings, but said she did not receive a response.
At 8:11 p.m. on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Kathy Menendez enjoined ICE from removing the father and child from Minnesota. She also issued an order to release the child to the family’s attorney no later than 9:30 p.m., citing “irreparable harm” of keeping her in custody, the affidavit states.
ICE informed the court after the fact that Tipan Echeverria and his daughter had been placed on a commercial flight to Texas at 8:30 p.m.
Bold to test a judge’s willingness to apply sanctions.
That’s so fucked up. They’re forcibly displacing children not just without legal authority but also in direct contravention of a judicial order…
Sometimes I wish hell were real, precisely for these scenarios.
In civilized countries that’s called kidnapping.
We quit pretending to be a civilized country when Trump was elected the first time.

Put whomever gave the order in jail for contempt.
And kidnapping since she was supposed to be released.
Or put them in an ice detention center locked up with those whom they locked up
It’s up to the people now…
Eh, until one of these judges actually imposes sanctions I’m not impressed by their boldness.
Honestly the judiciary should have someone on standby to approve these requests to bar ICE from whisking detainees away from justice. 2.5 hours is a pretty good turnaround for justice, but frankly insufficient until ICE stops manipulating the justice system.
Can I just say, that if you’re okay with any of this, you suck. That especially goes to the POS that say they like his immigration policies but don’t like how expensive everything is. Fuck you. A 2 year old was kidnapped and sent away and will probably disappear.
My Norwegian mother, Bourne and raised in Norway and lived there her entire life, says that the killing of Good was a necessary evil in order to get the Somalis. My mother sucks so sad… I hope she dies soon.
I’m not sure how well this generalizes, but some of the most racist people I’ve ever talked to were Scandinavian (in their own country). Talking to them was jaw-dropping, even compared to the US South.
Edit: to clarify, this seemed to be a small minority of the people.
Unfortunately the far right is on the rise here as well. A party founded by literal nazis in the late 80’s is now the second biggest party in Sweden for example.
It goes a little beyond suck. They’re straight up evil. There’s no longer any sort of benefit of the doubt, excuse, explanation, anything. It’s downright evil.
So, I guess the five year old wasn’t enough, ICE wanted to top themselves by being even more monstrous by kidnapping a two year old.
It’s not like this is them warming up the machine for harvesting children for the Secret Satanic Pedophile Ring that Secretly Controls MAGA.
Someone need to make a blog or something with all of this human right violations
I’m sure there’s already many sources tracking this stuff. The issue is that nothing is happening to the people doing the bad stuff.
For what purpose do you think a blog tracking this would be useful? So you can link the stories to people in power or their supporters who don’t care? Because anyone who did care by now has already had hundreds of opportunities to see incidents like this in the media.
People who watch Fox News and the like are never shown things like this. They are only given stories about alledged violent criminals being captured, when that is only a tiny fraction of the people being deported. The vast majority actually being people simply trying to provide for their families who have no criminal history, innocent children, people granted legal asylum, people with valid work or tourist visas, and even people actually going through immigration court to obtain legal citizenship.
People who watch faux news aren’t going to read a blog that goes against their perceived reality. Such a blog would never reach their eyes, and if it did they would close them.
“A blog isn’t a real news source”
For historical reasons. One day all of this will pass and we need to look back and able to filter out the noise. Not to link, but just to organize and catalog
One day all of this will pass
Not if Americans are just waiting for it “to pass.”
It’s still valuable work. It’s the truth, in a world where lots of people truly think that only appearances matter.
