NEW: ICE says there was nothing sinister about their multiple relocations of Mahmoud Khalil: there's a shortage of detention space, Manhattan doesn't have true overnight facilities, and the Elizabeth, NJ, detention center has bedbugs storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We all know that's bullshit

Just an “operational necessity”

being “staged for removal”

And you are supposed to believe that Louisiana, on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, is the nearest available facility?

It's certainly possible. But there was no pressing need, or any legal basis, to take him other than to satisfy the President.

So it doesn't matter, the whole thing is rotten. And the jurisdiction of apprehension should be a perfectly fine venue to sue from.

That's why the had to send him to one of the most notoriously abusive camps in the country, the subject of a human rights report from just last year. https://rfkhumanrights.org/report/inside-the-black-hole-systemic-human-rights-abuses-against-immigrants-detained-disappeared-in-louisiana/

Also we administer them poorly

sounds like a large load of crapola

as if "bed bugs" would be a reason not to send him there. give me a break, you'd send him there with the hopes of him get bitten by them

So nobody else was processed and left in the NJ facility during a similar time frame? Should be easy to research and confirm.

I wonder, is there a correlation between states who do not have immigration judges and the state facilities chosen by the Fed gov to temp house detainees?

Can someone just answer why he had to be detained at all pending adjudication of his status? If he is a dangerous criminal who must be kept away from society, then where are the criminal charges?

grumpyoldscientist.bsky.social•35 minutes ago

But it has nothing to do with sending him deep into a rural area within a deeply red state where oversight would be lax

I don't believe them because fascists wouldn't care about a prisoner having to deal with bed bugs.

Russia moves their prisoners around a lot.

Those both sound like standard US prisons. What was the problem?

“No this isn’t extraordinary rendition, it’s ordinary rendition.”
Truly the banality of evil is alive and well in our times.

Seems a big fat waste of money to detain him and then fly him half way across the country to me. With all their complaints about government spending they sure are fine with burn through cash over free speech that they don’t like. This is a show of force by cowards afraid of words.

Maybe the government thought they could take advantage of a 31 year old college student...they were wrong.

A political protester should never have been put in a concentration camp. This is USSR type repression.

Trump tried to overturn an election by force in 2021 and never stayed a day in jail or detention.

While being very detailed about transfers, seemingly skips details about the transfer from Elizabeth, NJ to JFK airport (in New York, not EWR) for the flight to Louisiana.

Does ICE know about the writ to justify circuitous route from NJ across southern New York City and flight from JFK, NY.

This was actually a strategy refined under the last administration. Sad to say. https://www.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/unchecked-growth-private-prison-corporations-and-immigration-detention-three-years-into-the-biden-administration

Yup remember the last admin was defending this centers being diseased filled and people dying cause it’s run by companies

How do they get anybody to participate in these obvious crimes against humanity? I am so angry and ashamed and wish there was more that I could do besides phone calls, postcards and petitions.
