The migrants have been detained for five days in Ghana in squalid conditions and surrounded by armed military guards in an open-air detention facility, called Dema Camp, the complaint says. Conditions are abysmal and deplorable, with tents for shelter and little running water. The migrants are not from Ghana and have been told they will be sent to other countries that have been determined to be too dangerous by U.S. immigration judges
He was only 11 when Russia launched its full-scale invasion of his homeland in 2022. After the storming of Mariupol, Russian soldiers took him and his mother to a "filtration camp." Russia has set up such camps in the territories it occupies to subject Ukrainians to ideological screening before transferring them to Russia. Sasha was separated from his mother in the camp and taken to occupied Donetsk.
In comments to journalists in Juba, Munoz-Gutierrez said he felt kidnapped when the US sent him to South Sudan. I was not planning to come to South Sudan, but while I was here, they treated me well, he said. I finished my time in the United States, and they were supposed to return me to Mexico. Instead, they wrongfully sent me to South Sudan.
OAKLAND A man who allegedly struck it rich through fentanyl sales in the Bay Area has been sentenced to seven years in federal prison, court records show. Milton Varela-Arteaga, 29, was sentenced last month by U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, after pleading guilty to possession with the intent to distribute fentanyl. He must serve a four-year supervised release term afterwards, but because he's already been deported to Honduras once, a similar fate likely awaits him after completion of his prison term, according to court records.
The New York-based Legal Aid Society said it was representing one of the men, Jamaican national Orville Etoria, and that he had been "inexplicably" sent to Eswatini when his home country was willing to accept him back. The 62-year-old Etoria was convicted of a serious crime in the U.S. in 1997 and was released from prison on parole in 2021, the Legal Aid Society said in a statement. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in a post on X that Etoria had been convicted of murder.
In a 37-page ruling, US district judge Thomas Cullen of Virginia's western district who was nominated and confirmed to his position during Donald Trump's first presidency wrote that any fair reading of the legal authorities cited by defendants leads to the ineluctable conclusion that this court has no alternative but to dismiss. To hold otherwise, Cullen added, would run counter to overwhelming precedent, depart from longstanding constitutional tradition, and offend the rule of law.
"they will be picked up by the border force or our volunteers at the RNLI when the border force can't cope". "And now what happens is the French give them all life jackets and when they're picked up by the border force, the border force give the life jackets back to the French so they can re-use them on the next journey," Farage added.
After his immigration hearing ended in August, what the 21-year-old from Guinea feared most happened. At the exit door, agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stopped him and asked for his documents. Upon entering the courtroom earlier, he had seen ICE agents patrolling the halls of 26 Federal Plaza, where they've been targeting immigrants appearing for routine hearings for arrest and deportation.
After a federal lawyer was forced to admit the mistake - because he didn't want to lie to the court - the administration promptly fired the attorney. The Supreme Court unanimously ordered the government to bring Abrego Garcia back to the United States, which the administration tried to lie about - possibly with AI hallucinated misquotes - before eventually giving in and bringing him back to the United States and charging him with human trafficking in Tennessee.
The Costa Rica offer came late on Thursday, after it was clear that the Salvadorian national would probably be released from a Tennessee jail the following day. Abrego declined to extend his stay in jail and was released on Friday to await trial in Maryland with his family. Later that day, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) notified his attorneys that he would be deported to Uganda and should report to immigration authorities on Monday.
Abrego Garcia is an undocumented Salvadoran national who was arrested in Maryland in March and deported to El Salvador along with more than 200 immigrants. They were imprisoned in the country's notorious CECOT prison without due process. The Trump administration eventually brought back Abrego Garcia, complying with a federal court order. Upon his return, he was placed in federal custody and charged with human smuggling charges.
