ICE's deportation of a student on a Thanksgiving visit—against a court order—was part of a sweeping, secret program to deport people before they can fight back.

The Nobel Committee stays taking an L on this.
It was clear the day she was announced that this was an odd choice but it just keeps getting worse by the day. It took ~30 years for Aung San Suu Kyi's prize to loose luster, Maria Corina Machado lasted ~30 days.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

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.
