Shikaka! The Plot Thickens...
Greetings Earthlings! Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and now... *drumroll* ...Immigration Analyst at your service! I've just sniffed out a doozy. Apparently the Supreme Court – those guys in the robes not the band – gave the thumbs up for the old Trump crew to start zipping certain immigrants back to their homelands faster than you can say 'Laces out Dan!' Now usually I'm tracking down stolen dolphins or missing bats but this smelled fishier than a week old tuna sandwich. So I had to dive in...literally! (Don't ask).
Deportation Deja Vu: The 'Where Were You in '62' of Immigration Law!
So here's the lowdown. The Trump administration back when they were calling the shots wanted to deport folks lickety split even to countries where they might face… well let's just say a stern talking to wouldn't be the worst of it. A lower court slammed the brakes on this quicker than you can say 'negative reinforcement,' but the Supremes in their infinite wisdom said 'Hold my beer let's see how this appeal shakes out.' Sounds like a real party eh? Not!
Sotomayor's Sass: A Dissent Worthy of Einhorn!
But hold your horses! (Or your doves if you're feeling particularly peace loving). Justice Sotomayor a dissenting voice crying in the wilderness wasn't having any of it. She basically said 'Are you serious? We're sending people back to places where they might get the 'short hairs' and the government has already messed up royally!' She even pointed out that they wrongfully deported someone to Guatemala even after a judge said they'd probably be tortured there! Talk about a 'Hoochie Mama!'
South Sudan Shuffle: A State Department Head Scratcher!
And the hits keep on comin'! Apparently they also shipped six more souls off to South Sudan a place so dicey that even the State Department said 'Whoa there partner! Only essential personnel allowed!' It's like sending a penguin to the Sahara. Makes about as much sense as dressing up as a rhino to infiltrate a mental institution... Oh wait I've done that.
Libya Limbo: A Near Miss with Disaster!
If it weren't for the 'timely intervention' of a lower court they almost sent another batch of folks to Libya! Sotomayor's words? A 'gross abuse of the Court's equitable discretion.' Ouch! That's gotta sting more than a skunk in a sleeping bag.
Hasta la Vista Deportees? A Pet Detective's Plea!
So there you have it folks! A legal kerfuffle that could have some serious consequences. While the courts are busy arguing about procedure real lives hang in the balance. As your friendly neighborhood Pet Detective (and now apparently Immigration Investigator) I say: Let's proceed with caution alrighty? We don't want to be responsible for sending anyone into the 'Himalayas' of political unrest. Now if you'll excuse me I've got a missing chihuahua to find. Stay tuned True Believers!
