  1. This headline is sensationalist in execution and undermines the article’s seriousness.

    **Context:**

    >Roberto Mosquera was once a self-proclaimed “super Trump supporter.” Now, he’s trapped in a maximum-security prison in Africa after the Department of Homeland Security detained and falsely labeled him a killer.

    >Mosquera, 59, was taken into custody by ICE agents in South Florida during his annual check-in in June. He moved to the United States nearly 50 years ago from Cuba.

    >At the time, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin wrote on X that Mosquera was “convicted of first-degree murder and aggravated battery.”

    >“I was hysterical… It’s literally on their verified page that my dad is a murderer,” his daughter Monica Mosquera, 20, told *The Daily Beast*.

    >[…]

    >Monica, who does not support Trump, said her dad once saw the president as a unifying voice.

    >“I asked him, ‘Why did you even support Trump?’” Monica said. “And he was like, ‘He’s the president. Have faith that things are gonna be different and things are gonna change.’”

    Hate knows no bounds, just like Donnie’s variable loyalty towards his sycophants.

    When dealing with racial supremacists there are no “good ones” to them, just cogs with uses until it is time to get rid of everything not like the supremacists. This guy, Patel, Thomas, Rubio, so many other useful idiots, they are not safe, thinking they will be safe is entirely dumb and they will screech loudly when the leopards knock on the door.

    When rule of law is ignored and suspended bypassing court processes snd hearings…. of course justice is sacrificed.

  4. I don’t know how plainly to say this so that they understand: If you’re from anywhere other than the USA, and any color other than lily white, the Republicans hate you.

    They don’t care if you consider yourself “one of them”; you’re not. They don’t consider you “one of the good ones”, you’re just another foreigner that needs to be dealt with to them.

    Eventually they’ll come for you, too. And if you’re lucky, it’ll be before they get to the inevitable “final solution” phase of fascism.

    This guy got the day he was hoping for.

  5. This was not a deportation. That would have been returning him to Cuba. This was an extrajudicial rendition. It was an illegal act by a criminal administration.

  6. Do the deals with El Salvador and Eswatine specify these guys have to be tossed in prison?

    Wouldn’t it be a lot easier for these countries to just take the money and let the people do whatever once they arrive?

  7. Sounds like they don’t even know where they’re sending people, they just put them on the next flight to anywhere.

    This country is morally bankrupt. People have forgotten all the founding principles of the country

    I feel sorry for his daughter.
    There is no bottom. They will come for all of us eventually.

  10. Even if this guy was a murderer like they said (he isn’t), you can’t just rendition him to a maximum security prison in another country. Charge him in the US and if convicted detain him here.

    He is dumb for voting with his negligence. However it is wrong for him to have his rights thwarted. It is not deporting if you are not sent back to where you came from. This is extradition without due process. Honestly, this behavior is a crime against humanity.

    Wouldn’t deporting someone to a country other than their home country give these people a legitimate reason to be in the United States?

  13. Cuban descent but sent to Africa!? Dayum. I mean, can’t send him back to Cuba, obv., but why send him all the way over to Africa? That couldn’t have been cheap for us to foot that bill.
