On a tarmac in Texas, federal agents repeatedly ordered a group of shackled immigrants off a bus and onto an airplane that they had heard was destined for Africa.
Many complied, but some men refused. They had sought protection in the U.S. after fleeing repressive governments and asked to speak to lawyers before being deported to a faraway continent.
“Tell us where you’re taking us,” Kenis Adalberto López, a 44-year-old from Nicaragua, said he told immigration
