The governments efforts to deport 92 Somali nationals including some who lived in Georgia and Minnesota did not go as planned this week, when the flight encountered some snags in Senegal and returned to the U.S. with all on board. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement released statement Saturday, saying relief flight crew members were unable to get sufficient rest due to issues with their hotel in Dakar. The aircraft, including the detainees and crew on board, remained parked at the airport to allow the relief crew time to rest, ICE said in its statement. During this time, the aircraft maintained power and air conditioning, and was stocked with sufficient food and water. Various logistical options were explored, and ultimately ICE decided to reschedule the mission to Somalia and return to the United States with all 92 detainees. No further details are available at this time. Omar Shekhey, the executive director for the Somali American Community Center in Clarkston, said as many as nine of those on the flight lived in Georgia. The Star Tribune reported as least four were from Minnesota.

Exactly. And the sharks need something to eat.
How about sending them back wherever they came from via US military cargo planes and drop them out the back like baggage.
That’s a lot of time, effort and fuel spent just to find out what should have been revealed during a few phone calls or emails.
Stand up! Hook up! Shuffle to the door!
Is this all taking place intentionally?
They were only in Senegal at the point where they stopped the trip. That's only roughly half way to Somalia in terms of distance, assuming they originated on the east coast of the US. They still had over 4,000 miles to go to get to Somalia.
Throw ‘em a parachute and give ‘em the ole heave-ho over Somalia. They’ll be responsible from that point on.
They had pilots to bring them all the way back, but not finish the trip?
I smell a ‘rat.
Once again there are hundreds of sharks who will go hungry...
Use large, amphibious ships. Let them out on the coasts of their homelands. Repeat.
Parachutes are cheap.
At first I thought that, too. Open the door and dump them in the ocean. But that’s a little harsh. They should have opened the door on taxiway, dumped them on the tarmac, and quickly taken off. That would be much more humane.
How do you count to four in somali? WHO CARES!
They didn’t get enough rest? But they flew all the way back?
Make it a C-5 flight next time. Plenty of room to bunk out.
It is reprehensible that the American taxpayer is forced to foot the bill for these extravagant flights.
These criminal savages should be made to swim home.
