Members of Congress expressed outrage at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deceiving eight men who were recently deported to South Sudan, as revealed earlier this week in an investigation by The Intercept. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., called the expulsions “abhorrent.”

Before the men 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.

Third country deportations with no due process are wrong, period, and we will keep fighting these illegal actions in court.”

True, but also... How much are these flights to South Sudan by way of Djibouti costing taxpayers?

That sounds way more expensive than just keeping these specific convicted felons locked up

And they just turn them loose once they get to south Sudan? Sure, it's far off but it isn't exactly the moon. They can go pretty much anywhere they want

They're essentially just releasing covicted felons on the world
