A sadly timely third-country-deportation-themed "by the {Immigration} Numbers" this week. The lack of high-profile outrage over the shadow docket stay on DVD is infuriating.

Love this. Impunity activates every sociopathic maga chud. ICE goon #2, Hegseth, the CEO of Omni Air, all act like there are no stakes because... yep. Is it worth using ICC jx to skirt looming Trump pardons too? I think the ASPA has to be amended to allow US cooperation, but it's way out of my lane.

I wrote back in the first week of January that this would be "the century-long year," and I regret to inform you that the mayhem will likely be even worse this month. So buckle up to get through it, and let's make sure these are the death throes of Trumpism and everything it stands for.

True fact! I don't understand process. Regurgitating DHS press releases about assaulted ICE officers: responsible journalism. Taking months to factcheck an Office of Remigration story (much from May 2025) *while* 25,000 people are illegally removed to third countries: also responsible journalism.

Of course. They’re torture addicts. Though I guess technically, the thinnest of legal technicalities has to have more legitimacy than the bs arguments they used to justify the policy guidance in the first place. Like, DVD started with DHS ignoring a TRO and blatantly lying about it. So… trending up?

UPDATE: Relieved to say only two people were expelled to Eswatini. However, the plane continued on the Burundi, marking the first known third-country removal under its new agreement with the Trump administration.
GOVERNMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF ESWATINI
GOVERNMENT STATEMENT
ARRIVAL OF TWO (2) THIRD COUNTRY NATIONALS FROM THE U.S.
The Government of the Kingdom of Eswatini informs the nation that two Third Country Nationals (TCNs) of Latin American nationality have arrived in the Kingdom from the United States of America.
The two TCNs form part of the groups received by Eswatini under the bilateral arrangement with the United States of America. Their arrival follows the
necessary consultations and arrangements between the two Governments and relevant authorities.
Upon arrival, the two individuals were received in accordance with the established procedures and protocols governing the admission and temporary hosting of Third Country Nationals in the Kingdom.
Government continues to work closely with the United States Government and international partners to ensure that all processes relating to the TCNs are managed in accordance with the applicable protocols.
The public will be kept informed of any further developments in this regard.An FR24 map of central Africa showing N703KW flying north and landing in Bujumbura
