Jeez. The court may have stopped some third-country removals at the last second yesterday, but ICE recalibrated quickly. Sept. 24 saw the most ICE flights+removals in the months I've been keeping a daily log. --at least 90 flights --at least 18 removals, including Haiti --plus a stop at Gitmo

Really puts the NYT story claiming ICE officials heroically pulled third-country nationals off deportation planes to comply with the court order in perspective. ICE deported people to Haiti, Cuba, Ecuador yesterday. And put Somalis who'd been held at Gitmo on a plane to East Africa. What heroism!
