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.

    This is straight up human trafficking and murder. No mincing words about it; the monsters in this hellhole trafficked people in under horrific conditions less than 2.5 centuries ago. Now they’re exporting people to be enslaved, tortured, and extrajudicially executed.

    Good. If you don’t want to say where your home is, that’s not a cheat code to not get deported. You’ll get deported anyways, to a place that’s much worse.
