The Trump administration said it deported a group of eight men convicted of serious crimes in the United States to the conflict-ridden African country of South Sudan, following a weeks-long legal saga that had kept the deportees in a military base in Djibouti for weeks.

Assistant Department of Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the deportation flight carrying the deportees landed in South Sudan just before midnight EST on Friday. A photo provided by the department showed the deportees, with their hands and feet shackled, sitting inside an aircraft, guarded by U.S. service members.

I wonder if the people that own America now killed Epstein or just ratted him because he was stepping on their human trafficking game.

I think what’s going on with America is broader than America. America is hostage by a force greater than politics and presidents.

I wonder if it’s time to stop supporting 1st world culture and start reconnecting to the raw essence of what it means to be human without all consumerism and entertainment drama.

It was us that gave them this power throughout history… it’s to the point now that we probably can’t even get power or true natural universal freedom back to the honest side of humanity.

I think the culprit you're looking for is capitalism. When it gets desperate it turns into fascism.

It's not deported but transported or sentenced. Stop the sane washing of this administration's proclamations and crimes
