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.
I call BS. Why would they bother lieing. It isn’t like the 8 guys could tell anyone after they got on the plane. Even if they did, it isn’t a “length to which the gov will goto” because it did nothing to impact what they could do at all. Probably some AI slop
What are you talking about?

Imagine going to hard to defend Uncle Sam without reading the article.
That is what happens when the full article is paywalled.
