ICE details dangerous working conditions in Djibouti. But they don't have to be there.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are laboring under dangerous conditions while maintaining custody over migrants they're holding at a military base in Djibouti, according to a declaration from an ICE official Thursday. But the Trump administration is choosing to keep them there, so if the government's top priority is caring for its workers, it could move them elsewhere while the legal process plays out. The government had sought to deport a group of migrants to war-torn South Sudan, but U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy told the government to give them a chance to properly challenge their removals. The judge didn't say that they had to stay in Djibouti while their claims are processed; he just said the government had to maintain custody and control over them. The government could bring them back to the U.S. to continue the process here if that's what the government preferred. To underscore that the status quo is due at least partly to the government's preference, Murphy emphasized in a recent ruling that, even though he found the government had violated a prior order in attempting the premature deportations, he didn't grant the migrants' request to be returned to the U.S. 'Instead, the Court accepted [the government] Defendants' own suggestion that they be allowed to keep the individuals out of the country and finish their process abroad,' he wrote, using italics to press the point. The Biden appointee in Boston had told the government, while ordering officials to maintain custody and control of the migrants, that while he 'leaves the practicalities of compliance to [government] Defendants' discretion, Defendants have ensured, and the Court expects, that class members will be treated humanely.' Thursday's ICE declaration filed to Murphy suggests that it's ICE officers themselves who are facing inhumane conditions. It says they're showing symptoms of respiratory infections but can't get proper testing for diagnoses, and that they're at risk of rocket attacks from Yemeni terrorists but lack body armor or other protective gear. A Trump official said Thursday that the judge was 'literally putting ICE agents' lives in danger.' But that's not quite true. The judge never said they had to stay there. As Murphy put it in his recent ruling, officials are 'manufacturing the very chaos they decry.'

STORY: :: A Yemenia Airways plane is destroyed following Israeli airstrikes on Yemen's Sanaa airport :: May 28, 2025 :: Yemeni militants launched missiles towards Israel a day earlier :: Sanaa, Yemen The General Director of Sanaa International Airport, Khaled al-Shaief, said in a post on his X account that the strike had completely destroyed the last of the civilian planes that Yemenia Airways was operating from the airport.

It was mainly being used by U.N. aircraft and the plane destroyed in the latest Israeli strikes. Three other Yemenia Airways planes were destroyed in an attack earlier this month.

Israeli airstrikes target Yemen airport as Netanyahu warns Houthis, Iran
LONDON -- Israel launched airstrikes on Sana'a International Airport in the Yemeni capital on Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, warning of the possibility of further attacks on the Iran-backed Houthi movement that controls the area. "We work according to a simple rule: Whoever harms us, we harm them," Netanyahu said in a statement posted to X by his office. "Whoever does not understand this with force, will now understand it with greater force." "But, as I have said more than once: The Houthis are only the symptom. The main driving force behind them is Iran, which is responsible for the aggression emanating from Yemen," Netanyahu continued. The Houthis have been attacking regional shipping and launching drones and missiles toward Israel since Hamas' deadly surprise attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The Houthis say their attacks are a protest of Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza. In response, the Israel Defense Forces have attacked a range of targets in Houthi-controlled Yemen. The IDF has previously bombed the airport in Sana'a in December 2024 and earlier this month. The IDF said in a Wednesday statement that the latest attack targeted "the central airport in Sana'a and an aircraft belonging to the Houthi terrorist organization." "The aircraft that were attacked were used by the Houthi terrorist regime to transport terrorists who promoted terrorist acts against the state of Israel," the IDF said. "The IDF is determined to continue to act and strike with force anyone who poses a threat to the residents of the state of Israel, at whatever distance is required," the IDF said. Yemenia Airlines condemned the strike. "Another Yemenia Airlines plane was directly and cowardly targeted this morning, just moments before the scheduled boarding of pilgrims," the airline said in a statement Wednesday. "The plane had received all necessary permits for landing, operation, and takeoff from all relevant authorities." "Accordingly, we announce to the Yemeni and international public opinion the complete (temporary) suspension of Yemenia Airlines flights from Sana'a International Airport until further notice," the statement continued. "This is a result of this cowardly terrorist act that targeted a Yemeni civilian aircraft, belonging to a national company that has distanced itself from all conflicts and is fully dedicated to serving all our noble people without discrimination." Last month, the Houthis agreed to end attacks on American commercial shipping in the region in exchange for an end to the intense U.S. airstrikes against them, a campaign President Donald Trump began in March. The Houthis have said that the agreement does not include stopping its attacks on Israel, and have since launched multiple drones and ballistic missiles toward the country.
