Flores Plaintiffs Win Order Directing Immediate Clean Up Of Open Air Detention Sites; Removal Of Children From Same.

This has been widely expected.

The able USDC Judge Dolly Gee has again ruled that putative asylees being held in squalid open air containment sites south of San Diego — but this order applies to any open air site in Texas, Arizona and/or California. Each person detained by CBP — whether an adult or child — must be provided with guaranteed rights and essentials from the original Flores consent order of 1985. This the US CBP (and DHS and HHS) must do… right now. Tonight.

In sum, basic hygiene, and sleeping materials must be provided — soap, water, toothpaste and brushes — as well as at least bedrolls / sleeping bags.

It is frankly deplorable that any US governmental agent would oppose complying with our laws and treaties… but there are a few active resisters in the CBP ranks.

This ends all of that — again. Just as USDC Judge Gee did, under Tangerine… about five to six years ago.

Now you know.

Please excuse the thin appearance, here. This was to be a back up site, until blog.com came back online. But that seems unlikely now, so this has become the main site. Only the last twelve years' posts are here for now. The full twenty years of archived material will be imported here, once I recover my full sized images and graphics from that period, either from a cached version of the old site, or if I can find them on that old laptop I long ago moth-balled. Smile. I just don't care for the low-resolution, grainy pixelated images available via Google search at the moment. So we will wait for full size imagery -- on the oldest posts. In truth, those old posts have little relevance to today's electoral politics, except in so far as they suggest very little has changed over time -- in Mr. Hinderaker's world-view. He remains pretty regularly delusional -- since at least 2002. And that is not just a coincidence -- as one nation, we elected Mr. Obama a few years later, and Mr. Hinderaker has never recovered -- to a reality based view of America. America is now a more centrist nation, than the one he lauded under Reagan and Bush 41, 43 and 45. So be it. 45 will now be gone by November. COVID-19 has shown even the ardent partisans 45 is an emperor with no clothes.
