Brownsville-South Padre International Airport is a major hub in the operation to carry refugees away to Guatemala, we have learned. We went out there yesterday evening, tipped off that there were buses full of of likely deportees preparing to board two planes, one Swift Air, the other World Atlantic, charter flight companies.

And there the planes were. And there the buses were. Perhaps we missed some of them boarding. Another bus, still quite full of people, drove away. One plane, we later learned, was headed to Louisiana, possibly changing plans at the last moment.

Word is that Guatemala’s Supreme Court has banned the deportation scheme, so we might have caught them having to change course.

We are witnesses.
