In San Antonio, Texas. And then thanks to a injunction, a court injunction, those people were not taken to Libya. Those people were instead returned to a detention center where, as listeners of the show will now be aware, they were informed that they were being deported, renditioned, however you want to say it, to South Sudan. This news broke a couple of days ago now, I think Tuesday.

Because at the time, the United States government was claiming the flight was classified or like a state secret. Mm-hmm. And even in court, the judge wasn't aware if the flight was in the air, on the ground, could it turn around?
