ICE Agents, Deportees Stuck in Metal Container in Djibouti are at Risk of Rocket Attacks, Malaria

A group of ICE agents and the migrants they're holding in the African country of Djibouti following an order by a U.S. federal judge are at grave risk, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official said in a sworn court declaration filed on Thursday.

"After U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy blocked the administration's attempt to deport the group to South Sudan without giving them sufficient chance to contest their removal, the group disembarked in Djibouti, where they are currently on a military base."

Trump is destroying the rule of law! This is an impeachable offense and if Congress wAN'T FULL OF BOUGHT AND PAID FOR COWARDS (LIKE OUR sUPREME cOURT) SOMETHING WOULD BE DONE ABOUT it!

I'm shocked to learn that no one in the administration thought out what might happen if they get blocked from carrying out their illegal deportations.
Wait...not shocked. I meant to say this is par for the course for the most poorly ran administration in the history of the country.

Well I hope the migrants get out of there safely at least.

Areal man, if he held the Office of President and ordered the deportation of people who came to America with hopes of working in our fields picking our food, would take responsibility for this terrible inhumane situation but we all aleady know Donald Trump takes responsibility for nothing ever!
This is a tragedy, no one should be treated that way by our government!I know Trump is Putin's ----- but I didn't know he had taken control of ourIimmigration Dept. Harry Truman had a sign on his desk that said: "The buck stops here.} Donald Trump has a sign an had a sign on his desk that said: "The buck stops here." Donald Trump needs a sign that says: "It's all Biden's fault!"

I suspect at this point, it's each man for himself. What are those ICE guys going to do if some Toyota technical with a 50-cal on the back rolls up, and a bunch of guys in keffiyehs carrying AKs and RPGs pop out? They will become guests of some country that is not a pal of America, and meanwhile the detainees will be free to go, and probably given safe passage and airplane tickets...

When you hire a lot of people in government to help out with things, you hire a lot of people to make sure that $#!+ is quality. You hire a lot of expert people so that quality assurance would exceed that of the top Fortune1 company. And if the quality is lagging, you hire enough people to ensure that the quality proves that we are all worth it.

^How it relates to this:

Even if your plan is to expatriate innocent people into unsafe situations against their will, you at least make sure that the people you have carrying out these extraordinary renditions are taken care of.
