An investigation by The Intercept reveals that ICE officials deceived eight men now expelled to South Sudan.

When eight men in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement boarded a plane in May, officials told them that they were being sent on a short trip from Texas to another ICE facility in Louisiana.

Many hours later, the plane landed in Djibouti. The men were held in shipping containers for weeks, shackles on their legs. This past weekend, they were expelled to the violence-plagued nation of South Sudan.

This deception, revealed by an Intercept investigation, highlights the lengths to which the U.S. government will go to further its anti-immigrant agenda and deport people to so-called third countries to which they have no connections.

        Aaaaand I rest my case.

        I appreciate you making my point for me with such simplicity. Sometimes, gifts just wrap themselves I guess.

            So you think know me well enough to think the nonsense you spew could piss me off? Kiddo, you don’t readily know shit. And while your take on politics exemplifies this, your take on me solidifies it.

            You don’t piss me off. You disappoint me. You have everything at your fingertips. Everything you could possibly need to know better- and you willfully choose to ignore it and instead, use the very thing that could have educated you- as a tool to spread ignorance.

            So no, you don’t piss me off at all. You don’t have that kind of power over me.

            I pity you.

          The only way to avoid this was to spend 4 years doing what the people whose votes you need wanted instead of continuing to fund ICE.
