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.

Just a "snag". I guess you just can't dump them in the ocean... Let them swim back home. Eh?

Watch the U. S. get skewered, and the home of all those folks get hardly a mention as the mean old United States is taken to task.
Somalia won’t even let it’s own citizens return.
How about that?

I would have packed the bags and headed to Canada the night Trump was announced the winner.
Which I hope many did :)

How can there be a snag? You’re on the tarmac. Open the door and let’em out.

Take them over to the U.N. Walk them inside and then leave an armed guard outside to prevent them from leaving.

Yes. The BS level is strong in this story. Probably the work of Obama hold-overs.

They should have taken them to Diego Garcia, and parked the plane there until the pilots were rested.
Bringing them back to American soil is a BIG EFFIN mistake. You've got to keep these terrorist criminals and ass clowns beyond the reach of leftist lawyers and judges.
To: vannrox
Sounds pretty stupid to me.Unless local authorities wouldn't allow it (certainly possible) you keep the aircraft parked where it was until a proper crew took command.

Who says you can’t just dump them in the ocean? Sharks need to eat.
To: vannrox
Kind of a, ‘missed opportunity’ if you ask me...
But nobody ever asks me. ;)

The snag was most likely the Country of Senegal wouldn't allow the Somalis to exit the plane.
No sane Country would allow them in.

I would have opened the ramp, shoved them all down onto the runway, and taxied away.

Put them on a Navy ship. Arrange for some Somali warlord to take custody of them on arrival at some beach in Somalia.

Deport all 435 in Congress to Somalia, that’s how to make America great again

Who says you cant just dump them in the ocean? When there is a landing gear snag, we do this all the time with fuel. What's the diff?
