SPEAKER 1
Hi, everybody. This is Andrew Egger with The Bulwark. The Trump administration, as it tries to ramp up its mass deportation proceedings to actual mass levels, it's getting more and more blowback over some of the people who are being swept up in the deportation dragnet,
0:13
not just people who are not the sort of violent criminals who many Trump voters thought they were voting to have deported, not just people who have been living peaceable, quiet, productive lives here. But actually, in fact, in more and more cases, we're hearing about people who had specific immigration court protections already in place on them,

protecting them against various forms of deportation. There have been a few of those in the news lately. And our immigration reporter, Adrian Carrasquillo, in his latest Huddled Masses newsletter today, has a story that's pretty striking. So he's here to talk with me a little bit about it today.

Adrian Carrasquillo talks with Andrew Egger about the latest issue of his newsletter, Huddled Masses, about Adriana Quiroz Zapata, an asylum seeker from Colombia who ICE attempted to deport to Mexico in defiance of an immigration court order.

Read more about her story in Huddled Masses.

Are mass deportations by their nature human trafficking?

Jen, it is appalling. Vicki, the court system is not equipped on a good day to work quickly enough to prevent these atrocities from happening. Today is the worst day (at least in my lifetime).

Kentuckistan: we rarely put up monuments to our failures, do we? They are just “dust in the wind” so many times. The current administration doesn’t even want them to be dust; they are looking for erasure.

This is so appalling. She courageously stood up to her abuser in support of another victim to be treated like a criminal. If there are any documentary film makers, please find this family and help share this story. This is horrendous and we need an accounting of the brutality of this administration.

I drove out to the Topaz Mountain Japanese Internment Camp outside Delta, UT one time. Nothing out there now but the concrete slabs. Back in town the good people of Delta saved one of the shacks and they have a little museum. It's an eerie feeling out there. I thought it was something from the way back past in a real emergency that was kind of self evidently evil and stupid now and could never happen again here, but I guess some people never learn. .

How is it that ICE can keep defying court orders and no one be held accountable? If any one of us defied a court order , wouldn’t there be repercussions? I keep hearing that what Doge has been doing is not legal. Crickets. When is anybody going to actually face consequences?

Is ICE surfing through court documents to find victims?

They have no bottom.
