In February, a woman in Long Island, New York, went with her two children to a scheduled check-in with ICE. Officers detained them. The mother, who asked to be identified only by her initials, M.S.P., because she fears retaliation from the government, said the family was taken far from their longtime home of New York and jailed in a hotel in Texas.

M.S.P. said in Spanish that the guards told her they were private contractors hired by ICE. She said she was permitted two three-minute phone calls to her mother-in-law. She said the guards warned her that if she told anyone where she was, her children would be taken away from her.

For nine days, she said they were not allowed to leave the room or even look out the windows. M.S.P. said two guards were in the hotel room at all times. Her teenager spent much of the time crying and worrying about failing missed classes. Her other child, age 12, worried about their cat back at home.

Her attorney later wrote in court filings that he could not find them in ICE’s detainee locator and was left in the dark about their location — unable to provide legal advice.

    Who are these hotels that are allowing these nazi paramilitary assholes to hold kidnapped children on their premises? They know what they’re doing and what they’re enabling.

    The petition for writ of habeas corpus must be filed in the district of confinement, and it must name the individual “jailer” as the defendant.

    Habeas evasion was one of the offenses perpetrated by George III, as listed in the Declaration of Independence.

    This is because they are all rapists and human trafficking pedophiles who work for rapists and human trafficking pedophiles.

    Until WE show lawmakers that WE are serious about rules being enforced, THIS IS LIFE NOW

    YOU ALL LET THE RAPING, HIMAN TRAFFICKING PEDOPHILE HAVE HIS SECRET POLICE FORCE.

    You can’t take that away with RULES. People who steal and rape kids, don’t understand “rules”. Them and their advisors have said they will govern with “force”. And things can only be kept or taken militarily. There are no rules for people like that. You end them to save everyone because they are fascists and authoritarian.

    WE ALL USED TO KNOW THIS

      Ya. But then people who could vote thought the orange rapist was the same as a lady with a funny laugh. Americans are pretty dumb.
