From the editor: My Republican brothers and sisters in Cameron County will likely applaud Trump's deportation of migrants primarily from Myanmar and Vietnam to South Sudan in North Central Africa.  You may even take pride that you, your parents or grandparents came to the United States the "right" way, not realizing that you, as an Hispanic, wouldn't be allowed to immigrate now under the current racist mindset.

Of course, Trump recently allowed immigrants from South Africa seeking asylum to immigrate, but that was different as they are white.  Trump only draws the line at black, brown and yellow migrants as, according to his racist tweets, they "eat the dogs and cats" of locals while bringing "crime," including "rape," into our country.  

                                       

While deporting non-white immigrants, the Trump administration allowed a contingent of white immigrants into the United States, granting them asylum.   

Trump, just like his idol, Adolf Hitler, describes non-white immigrants as "vermin," claiming they "poison the blood of our country," phrases coined by Hitler in the 30's. 

Anyway, here's the recent news report from "The Hill:"

                                         


Immigration attorneys on Tuesday alleged the Trump administration deported to South Sudan a group of migrants who are not from the war-torn country, in violation of a court order. 

U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, an appointee of former President Biden who serves in Boston, previously ordered the administration to provide certain notice to migrants before removing them to a third country where they have no ties. 

Tuesday’s filing accuses the administration of violating that injunction when a group of migrants left the country on a plane to South Sudan in recent hours, asking Murphy to order their return to the United States. 

“Return is imminently reasonable—and necessary—in such a situation, as the Supreme Court recognized in recent weeks,” the immigration attorneys wrote, referencing the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. 

The Hill has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment. 

Murphy’s injunction, issued last month, requires the administration to provide a noncitizen and their attorney with written notice in a language they can understand before removing them to a third country. The migrant must also be afforded a “meaningful opportunity” to raise claims that they would face persecution or torture if deported there, Murphy ruled. 

South Sudan, the world’s youngest country, erupted into civil war soon after it gained independence in 2011. A peace deal has recently collapsed, with the immigration attorneys warning their clients are being flown into a country “that is now returning to full-blown and catastrophic civil war.” 

The new filing identifies two specific migrants who were removed, a Burmese and a Vietnamese national, who are referred to by their initials in court documents. But the attorneys indicated there were “likely” at least 10 other migrants on the plane, citing an email from the Vietnamese national’s partner. 

“They cannot be allowed to do this, this is not the first and won’t be the last if they keep getting away with it! I am begging for your assistance,” the person wrote to one of her husband’s attorneys in a Tuesday email.

The legal team comprises the National Immigration Litigation Alliance, Northwest Immigrant Rights Project and Human Rights First.

The development comes days after the judge warned the Trump administration that its reported plans to deport a group of migrants to Libya would violate his order. 

It also comes as Murphy is set to hold a Wednesday hearing in the same case on whether to require the administration to facilitate the return of a Guatemalan man deported to Mexico despite his asserted fear of persecution.

The administration previously indicated the man had told authorities he was not afraid of returning to Mexico, but the Justice Department acknowledged on Friday that was an error.

  1. Sending those people to the Sudan is pretty much a death sentence. The terribly impoverished country is run by competing war lords with no central government or resources. Refugee camps are sometimes raided, and kidnapping is practically a recreational sport. This is crazy. And if the U.S. government is allowed to ignore the higher court orders, then the constitution no longer has any validity and "the rule of law" is just a catch phrase. If the executive branch will not obey the law, they must be removed. It seems likely to me that if they get away with this there will be no controls over them. They will do what they want. Already they are currying favor with law enforcement and getting rid of senior military officers who are more likely to stand up to them. We will be lucky to get through the next four years without a fundamental change in our style of government. The will of the people will no longer matter. We will be run by a right-wing despot, and it won't only be people of color who find themselves in concentration camps.

  2. Unfortunately, the Trump administration has no morals or values and many ordinarily decent people in Cameron County blindly support this evil regime.
