SOS sign at detention centre in Texas pleads ‘help we are not terrorists’

A group of inmates at a detention centre in Texas are pleading to be deported as they insist they are not terrorists.

The US government claimed a group of 23 migrants from Venezuela had ‘recently barricaded themselves in a housing unit for several hours and threatened to take hostages and harm ICE officers’.

The Trump administration told the US Supreme Court this action at the Bluebonnet Detention Facility justified lifting a court order blocking their immediate deportation.

The 23 detainees behind the alleged disruption were moved out of Bluebonnet on May 4, and are currently located at the Prairieland Detention Centre.
