"Your Honor, we did not deport the woman in question. The woman chose to take a one-way trip to El Salvador to tour its prison facilities. Her flight just happened to have been on the same flight as a large group of Venezuelan gang members that were being deported at the same time. To show her there were no hard feelings between us, we opted to offer her a free seat on the flight. It was an offer she couldn't refuse. "

"Breaking news on the flight of gang members heading to El Salvador. Violence erupts on the plane mid flight as the permanent resident who voluntarily went to tour the prison in El Salvador decides to join the ranks of the Venezuelan gang and gets jumped in. Authorities could not intervene in the violent ritual due to fear of losing control of the plane, making her the latest person to be added to the list of prisoners as she is now a full member of the gang. Authorities claim she was given the option of being deported to her home country in South Korea but chose to go to the prison with the rest of the gang members instead stating they are her new family. Her status of permanent resident has been revoked and she is no longer allowed in the country."
So they'll try to kidnap her illegally anyway. Hope she can find a way to stay safe.
There's no private security group that would risk being blackballed by the toddler in chief
Orders. Asks. Calls for.

What's a court order for if not to be defied?
