The Trump administration said it deported a group of eight men convicted of serious crimes in the United States to the conflict-ridden African country of South Sudan, following a weeks-long legal saga that had kept the deportees in a military base in Djibouti for weeks.

Assistant Department of Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the deportation flight carrying the deportees landed in South Sudan just before midnight EST on Friday. A photo provided by the department showed the deportees, with their hands and feet shackled, sitting inside an aircraft, guarded by U.S. service members.

Stop calling it fucking deportations. This is remanding people to gulags in other countries they are not from and as best as we know, have to way to ger out of or to be returned to the countries they came from. They have sentenced these people to death half way around the world because the US has become a fucking monster

have to way to ger out of or to be

Sir.

I hate living in a reality where a routine traffic stop could result in someone being disappeared and tortured while being completely legal.

Also, even if they were illegal, they don't deserve that. Especially without due process.

People aren't illegal. Even fucking Reagan wanted to legalize the people that were already here, living and working

Martin Neimöller is rolling in his grave.

It's not deported but transported or sentenced.
Stop the sane washing of this administration's proclamations and crimes

I wonder if the people that own America now killed Epstein or just ratted him because he was stepping on their human trafficking game.

I think what’s going on with America is broader than America. America is hostage by a force greater than politics and presidents.

I wonder if it’s time to stop supporting 1st world culture and start reconnecting to the raw essence of what it means to be human without all consumerism and entertainment drama.

It was us that gave them this power throughout history… it’s to the point now that we probably can’t even get power or true natural universal freedom back to the honest side of humanity.

I think the culprit you're looking for is capitalism. When it gets desperate it turns into fascism.

Sending people to places they've never been is not "deportation." It's trafficking.

It's the wrong fucking continent.

i dunno, sending a bunch of people from somewhere else to a warzone seems kinda like a death sentence. It also seems like the premise of a reality show so this whole thing makes sense when viewed through the lens of a braindead idiot.

We are ruled by fascists. Legacy media doesn't seem to see it, or they are paid not to.
