MAGA devotee Roberto Mosquera thought Trump would unify the country. Now he’s 8,000 miles away.

    he wasn’t deported, he was sent to a maximum security prison that tortures people, for life.
    that’s slow motion murder

      Their deportation appears to be part of a secretive transfer arrangement between the U.S. and Eswatini—an extension of Trump’s broader effort to expand the U.S. deportation program into Africa, despite warnings from human rights groups and lawyers who say the practice denies deportees due process and exposes them to abuse.

      Documents obtained by The New York Times show that the Eswatini government at one point requested $500 million from the U.S. in exchange for accepting third-country deportees.

      But isn’t that also a very expensive way to murder people? How can they afford a massive system like that?

        well they could take funding from other places?
        it’s not a linear plan though… eventually they’ll shift to extermination domestically.
        for one i’m sure it’s cheaper per-person, per-day, to imprison someone in a foreign country.
        But i think the main motivation right now is just the legal loophole of offshore torture… that and it’s the “flood the zone” strategy (bannon).
        After all of the uproar and legal stuff about El Salvador, they shifted to sending people to a whole bunch of other third world dictatorship’s maximum security prisons.
        after El Salvador got a lot of press, a lot of other countries probably stepped in and made offers.

          Sounds like there’s also a lot of potential for soviet style gulags, forced labor camps, or basically just slavery. If that’s what USA is offering, many dictatorships would probably be glad to make a deal. Once USA figures out how to have gulgas on their own soil, the expenses will suddenly vanish entirely.
