A new report has revealed the extent of the ordeal experienced by 13 immigrants detained in Texas who were nearly deported to Libya in the early hours of Wednesday before a federal judge intervened to halt the transfer.
The group, which included nationals from the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, and Mexico, was awoken at 2:30 a.m. by armed guards, shackled, and transported to a military base, where they waited outside a plane that never departed, as NBC News details.
