    1. Congress spoke in mandatory and sweeping terms: this process “shall” apply to“[a]ny unaccompanied alien child” whom DHS seeks to “remove[].” Id. (emphases added). Atthe time, Congress knew about ORR’s reunification responsibility. Miles v. Apex Marine Corp.,498 U.S. 19, 32 (1990) (“We assume that Congress is aware of existing law when it passes legis-lation.”). If that responsibility authorized ORR to expel unaccompanied alien children from thecountry, it would be odd for Congress to have enacted the TVPRA’s comprehensive process with-out specifically acknowledging that supposed authority. Defendants’ view, after all, would renderthe TVPRA inapplicable any time ORR invoked this purported authority to expel an unaccompa-nied alien child for reunification purposes
    2. aintiffs very likely have the better of the argument. The TVPRA contemplates that anunaccompanied alien child can leave the country in one of two ways: following an order of removalissued through removal proceedings under 8 U.S.C. § 1229a, or via voluntary departure under 8U.S.C. § 1229c.8 Thus, Defendants’ “reunification” plan, which is predicated on first expelling—that is, removing—these unaccompanied alien children from the United States, would circumventthe process that Congress established for doing so
    3. Instead, the class depends on whether an unaccompanied child fromGuatemala has received either a final order of removal or permission from the Attorney Generalto voluntarily depart the United States. In any event, the record here is barren of evidence that anychild in the proposed class wants to return to Guatemala, even if their parents can be found. Allthe evidence suggests the opposite: Plaintiffs have offered over 30 declarations from Guatemalanchildren who object to being sent back.
    4. In the end, only parentsfor about 50 to 57 of the 609 children that ORR identified to Guatemala “were willing to welcomeback their children.” Id. at 3–4. Even within that small group, though, “none of them was request-ing their [child’s] return.” Id. at 4. The parents of one child explained why: their daughter “hadreceived death threats and therefore could not live in” Guatemala, so they would “do everythingpossible to get her out of the country again” if the United States sent her back
    5. helters in Texas, for example, called immigration attorneys at the South Texas Pro BonoAsylum Representation Project (“ProBAR”) just before midnight on August 30 to explain “thatthey had been told to prepare children to be repatriated.” ECF No. 20-3 ¶ 5. Transportation wouldapparently “arrive to pick them up in two hours.
    6. At a hearing later that day, counsel for Defendants explainedwhy it was “fairly outrageous” for Plaintiffs to have sued: all Defendants wanted to do was reunifychildren with parents who had requested their return. But that explanation crumbled like a houseof cards about a week later. There is no evidence before the Court that the parents of these childrensought their return. To the contrary, the Guatemalan Attorney General reports

    1. There is evidence, although far from certain, that there were hundreds of thousands of votes cast illegally for Hillary, Plus there is Podesta's statement that if a person has a photo ID and claims to be a citizen they should be able to vote, a standard that would allow millions of illegals to vote illegally, and Obama's statement to Gena Rodriqez that there would be no punishment of illegal's voting.

      This is presumably the research which was posted and trashed by WaPost linked to by me on Hypothes.is previously

    1. numerous studies have found such voter fraud is virtually nonexistent.

      This is a classic case of dishonest factchecking.

      I have read multiple articles from multiple different types of news sources that cite occasions instances of votes being cast for dead people. And these are only the cases that are caught -- there is very little checking for such abuse, and Democrats generally oppose efforts to remove dead people (or non-citizens, for that matter) from voter rolls. So the total number of fraudulent votes could be much larger.

      So dead people voting is more than" virtually existent".
