    Eswatini

    I swear, they’re just making things up at this point. Eswatini ain’t no country I’ve ever heard of!

    In April 2018, the official name was changed from Kingdom of Swaziland to Kingdom of Eswatini, mirroring the name commonly used in Swazi. - Wikipedia

    Oh… My bad.

    Why is it always a different country?

    Are they spinning some kind of big stupid wheel?

    Just leave this fucking guy alone.

      Because a judge ruled against the DOJ, therefore he won. DOJ is mad and now they’re doing anything they can to save face and not look “weak”. Because it’s all just a big fucking game to them.

      Honestly they’re just terrorising the guy and his family. They keep threatening to deport him to all these places even though a judge said otherwise. I can’t even imagine the stress he must be under.

      He already agreed to be deported to Costa Rica iirc, they’re just trying to make it as painful as possible. It’s ridiculous.

        They want to set precedents, subordinating the judiciary is the goal here, no matter what judges say they want to disappear people without court involvement, immigrants are the trojan horse as they have a plurality of support on deportations if not ones to the shittiest third countries they can find.

        It is ridiculous but also orchestrated by the party with martial law in the US in mind.

        Even that’s fucked up though. He said he’d go to Costa Rica because they promised not to immediately send him back to CECOT (something sudan and the like have not promised).

        And then the US government said, “okay, you can be deported to Costa Rica, but only if you plead guilty to all this heinous shit and serve your full jail time in federal prison first.”

        I’m curious what would happen if he tried to flee the country to avoid deportation.

      They have to win this point. If they can deport one innocent man to a 3rd world death camp they can deport anyone to a 3rd world death camp. They just need to make everyone okay with them doing it once to set precedent. Then the floodgates open.

        Judges are now forbidden from nationwide injunctions so the admin can not give habeous corpus systematically to citizens or immigrants and disappear them without being stopped.

        That decision was perhaps the greatest betrayal of the country yet as will become clear in time.

    At this point, he needs to find a law firm that’s not too busy gargling Trump’s balls to represent him in a counter suit for 10 billion for defamation, harassment, and mental duress of his family. The number should be ludicrously high to mirror Trump’s own tactics.

    If I were him, I would also be looking around for places to seek asylum as a political refugee. Would be awesome as Hell if Canada took him.
