This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

At the risk of being labeled a "shitlib" or a "genocide enabler," I'm just not convinced that Kamala Harris would've angrily demanded the death penalty for any elected official who says that the military shouldn't obey illegal orders.

I know she doesn’t do it for shine but I really really hope she gets hers one day because she stepped into Congress doing THE WORK and stays DOING THE WORK🖤
Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

I don’t like to see coffee or unionized workers burned.
So that’s two strikes against Starbucks.

I like my men the way i like my coffee: unionized
BREAKING: Striking Starbucks baristas and their allies are demonstrating in Newport Beach today.
Why?
Because the company has racked up more federal labor law violations than any other corporation IN U.S. HISTORY!
Stand with these workers as they protest unfair labor practices!

When we take Congress next year, and when we take the White House in 2028, top of the agenda has to be to gather together the Western democracies and put a leash on social media. It is a danger to human civilization, and I'm not exaggerating.
