I think they forgot about that, thank god. All the innocent citizens we sent there are still being tortured daily, but that somehow lost their interest. God forbid they remember before the midterms and ruin more lives for a stunt…
That said I just recently saw a story of a Latin American man sent to the Central African Republic, which has gotta be one of the most absurd & dangerous places to send someone. Less opportunities for them to stage photo shoots with that strategy, tho.
- walrus01 1mo agoThey're literally even deporting Afghans who supported the US, who are in danger of being tortured and killed by the Taliban if returned to Afghanistan, to the Central African Republic: https://www.google.com/search?&q=afghans+deported+to+africa https://www.google.com/search?&q=afghans+deported+to+africa

- naishoya 1mo agoBrian José Morales García: A 25-year-old U.S. citizen born in Denver, Colorado, was wrongfully deported to Mexico following a traffic stop in Texas, despite possessing a birth certificate and other identifying documents. His legal team filed a case in federal court to secure his return. https://www.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/us-citizen-wrongfully-deported-mexico-settles-his-case-against-federal-government https://www.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/us-citizen-wrong... https://deportation-research.buffett.northwestern.edu/us-citizens/ https://deportation-research.buffett.northwestern.edu/us-cit...

But if being illegally deported while being a US citizen and put through strenuous and harmful conditions in the process fits the request; there are several who have first hand experience with being brown and American in the extreme. And it's not their first rodeo: https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/ice-deport-us-citizens/ https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/ice-deport-u...
- whimsicalism 1mo agoI was not making an argument, just asking for any factual basis to the parent comment. I guess that is deserving of 5 downvotes. > I think they forgot about that, thank god. All the innocent citizens we sent there are still being tortured daily, but that somehow lost their interest. God forbid they remember before the midterms and ruin more lives for a stunt… But thank you for providing other cases, I had heard of the first but not the others you mentioned. From reading your sources, these appear to be collated from the last 2 decades.
- orwin 1mo agoThe issue with the "i'm just asking questions" is that it is overused by disingenuous (i started writing nefarious but i think you can be nefarious but mean good, whereas people who do this _always_ mean to trick other humans) people. So nowadays, if you want to go ask a question to go further on a topic because you're interested in it, you need to add a preamble that explain. See: "How did ancient egyptian managed to cut rock that cleanly without modern tools?" vs "I'm very interested in old tools and techniques, do any of you have resources about how Egyptian used to cut granite?" Sadly, this is the state of the internet, because some people can't be genuine (probably think it's a weakness or something dumb), now everybody assume the worst of everybody else.
- whimsicalism 1mo agoI hear what you're saying, but I don't think it really applies to a question asking for the veracity of a previously stated claim, especially when the claim is actually false. I think there is more than enough bad things the government actually does wrt immigration enforcement, we don't need to start making things up.
- orwin 1mo agoIn that case, it vastly more productive to say : 'I do believe this is false/poorly presented/a gross generalisation, and would like you to prove me wrong by citing sources'. At least you do not hide behind the "I'm just asking questions", which read as disingenuous like I said, mostly because it's overused rethoric.
- nozzlegear 1mo agoIs this bait?
- whimsicalism 1mo agono, i just legitimately don't think this has happened
