The cruelty doesn’t end Yasmany Moreno, 32, a Cuban man who had lived and worked legally in Florida, was placed on a plane in Texas on July 30, 2026 with his hands, waist, and feet shackled. Nobody told him where he was going. Five hours into the flight, an ICE officer informed him they were headed to Africa. He arrived in Bangui, capital of the Central African Republic, where the US State Department issues a Level 4 "Do Not Travel" advisory citing terrorism, kidnapping, landmines, and violent crime. He was sick for four days. A month later he and 35 other deportees remain in the same Bangui hotel, without passports, without legal status, without information about what comes next.
The Trump administration has used "third-country removal" agreements with African nations to deport migrants who cannot be returned to their home countries. Cuba has refused to accept most deportees. Amnesty International confirmed over 100 people have been sent to African third countries under this policy as of August 2026. South Florida immigration attorney Morella Aguado stated plainly: "There is no legal basis for sending him to Africa." Aristides Fernandez, 37, another Cuban Florida resident deported under the same policy, called it a kidnapping. Neither man had been ordered deported to Africa by any immigration judge.

Because you can see the obvious fact in front of you and choose to understand it differently Had I said Trunp told her she can't get the benefits ,you'd have believed it because that's what you want to hear. No I’ll believe because Trump and his administration have shown time and again that they do not give two fcks about service members and their families |

So she was indeed told that congress had not declared war therefore she was ineligible for benefits? What was the lie told by the media? And the widow? The conveniently unnamed assistant officer is the person to blame here. Nothing to see You slow sha. basilico: Libby Klinner was given incorrect information by an Air Force Casualty Assistance Officer due to a paperwork error and confusion over combat definitions.
When a service member dies, the military assigns a Casualty Assistance Officer to help the family navigate the complex paperwork for death benefits. In this case, the assigned officer mistakenly told Mrs. Klinner that because Congress had not formally "declared war" regarding the current conflict with Iran, her husband was technically ineligible for extra combat-related benefits.
The Air Force officially apologized and cleared up the confusion, explaining that the issue came down to two non-malicious factors: An Itemization Error: The Air Force explained that the combat hazard pay and tax breaks had actually been calculated and paid out in Major Klinner's final paycheck, but the lines were incorrectly itemized (labeled wrong) on the pay stub. This made it look like the money was missing when it wasn't.
Misunderstanding the Law: The assistance officer mistakenly thought a formal, congressional declaration of war was required for combat pay. By military rule, "combat pay" ($225 a month) is given as long as a troop is in a dangerous area or killed by hostile acts—no formal war declaration needed.
The Pentagon confirmed the case is fully resolved and that Mrs. Klinner has received all the pay she and her children are legally owed.
Cococandy and GracieX3 . That's what happened. Next time don't go shouting about how evil Trump is without seeking further information.

basilico: I'll leave this matter for now I'm sure more details wil. come.to light later. I concurred about not her getting paid ,and added context to JD Vance being informed . Looks like he didn't know. Who did is the question. You’re trying to act like JD being informed means anything in the context of how this administration is handling the lives and wellbeing of our soldiers. The process of compensation for families who are injured or lost loved ones in service of the country has always been a well oiled machine. You’re not expected to worry about it while grieving. The fact that it made its way up to higher levels before she got a PROMISE of compensation is an abject failure and there’s no other way to phrase it. You can keep waiting for more details. You will only accept it when it fits your warped narrative. |

Yours or this? So she’s right. How’s her version different? She was told her husband’s sacrifice was in vain because congress didn’t declare a war. So all the kids dying and getting hurt for America in the name of Trump are all in vain. Don’t get it twisted because you’re too emotional to see how evil your party is. She didn’t paid until she made some noise and the vice president decided to use her as political pawn. Why was the vice president’s public political grandstanding necessary in order for her to get her due? |

....Refusing to pay the families of military personnel that died in Iran..... That’s why they are dancing around the classification of the war so they can get away with heinous acts like this one. “Vance took her info and promised to get her paid yen yen yen”🤡🤡🤡 Why is that even a thing? She should’ve been paid the moment she was entitled to it. Not to be used as a political pawn. And this is not the first time military personnel have been insulted by this administration. Last time four of the kids who died in combat were erased from the roster and refused final honors until there was an uproar from people. They do stuff like this hoping to get away with it. If you don’t speak up and raise alarm, you don’t get what you deserve. Is that how past administrations have been doing it? And they have the nerve to tell military families this is what they signed up for. Signed up for disrespect and dishonor? I don’t think so. |

Red states gonna red. May Ledell rest in peace. I remember his case and how distraught I felt then as he exhausted his appeals and they insisted on killing him. Years later seems like I was on the right side of the issue. But what do I know? I’m just an emotional woman. Team “logical people “ na una do this one o. Congratulations to you people. Hope y’all live forever. Ledell Lee was ex*cuted by the state of Arkansas on April 20, 2017, for the 1993 m*rder of his neighbor, Debra Reese. Lee consistently maintained his innocence until his d*ath.
Four years after his excution, DNA testing requested by his family and legal team revealed genetic material belonging to an unidentified man—not Lee—on the wooden clb used in the crime and on a bloody shirt found wrapped around it. None of the five fingerprints recovered from the scene matched Lee, while testing excluded him as the source of five of the six hairs presented at trial. The unidentified DNA profile was entered into a national database but returned no match.
Despite these developments, then-Governor Asa Hutchinson described the results as “inconclusive,” while Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge continued to maintain that Lee was responsible for Reese’s m*rder.
Concerns surrounding Lee’s conviction had surfaced years earlier. His first trial resulted in a hung jury, his appellate attorney later admitted struggling with substance ab*se, and Arkansas proceeded with Lee’s excution—along with three others—as the state’s supply of lethal-injection drugs approached expiration.

ATP We need a list of what's not contaminated. And notice how they are all red states. They love to clown blue states for being too strict on businesses. Maybe because those governors put the lives of their constituents above corporate interests. . NEW RECALL: Frozen mixed berries sold at Walmart stores are being recalled for potential E. coli contamination as the FDA warns of severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting.
Sold under the Great Value brand as frozen “Organic Triple Berry Blend,” the recalled products were distributed in 16 states:
–Alabama –Arkansas –Florida –Illinois –Indiana –Kentucky –Louisiana –Minnesota –Mississippi –Missouri –North Carolina –Ohio –Oklahoma –South Carolina –Texas –Wisconsin
Health officials are urging consumers to check their freezers and discard or return the recalled products.

Different sets of rules for different types of people 18 years behind bars for an honest ignorant mistake that was made out of desperation. Still denied parole The Two Americas: Where are the women wearing pink for Tiffany Woods, who was convicted of second-degree murder in 2008 over her premature son’s death after giving her infant cow's milk during Hurricane Katrina evacuations? Tiffany was serving an automatic life sentence until former Gov. John Bel Edwards commuted it to 36 years in 2023 under a recommendation from the pardon board.
This made Tiffany eligible for release this year, but in February she was denied release despite serving 18 years behind bars. Board member Carolyn Stapleton said she couldn’t agree to Tiffany’s release after hearing opposition from Caddo Parish District Attorney James Stewart’s office and viewing photos of the baby’s body. Tiffany’s premature baby Emmanuel was born during Hurricane Katrina. She evacuated to Shreveport, where she lived in a motel and then in a rented home. She told the parole board that she didn't know what to do after her baby started vomiting his formula in large amounts and that she had run out of vouchers for the federal program to help low-income, postpartum mothers and children, known as WIC. She has admitted that she made a mistake and that baby Emmanuel is gone because of her actions. We live in a society that favors white women while harshly punishing Black women. Where was/is the Compassion for Tiffany?

Preaching to the choir basilico: Milo visa expires. He gets into a very public spat with Laura Loomer..He posts a tweet threatening her..She uncocers that his visa expired in 2021. She starts posting on X where he is, requesting ICE to look into his case. Milo receives summons for a hearing ,he doesn't show up. Judge having been fully satisfied that Milo was informed about the hearing signs a final removal order.. The rest is history.
Isn't that how your laws work. He had all the time to get an extension of his visa 7 months after Laura Loomer goes public Milo still doesn't care if ICE has made any move in him. Whether he supports Trunp or not , The US Constitution is not written on a piece of paper to be used to wipe your bottoms.
If Milo was a Palestinian,he would not have been deported ,he would have simply said Hamas executes gay people. Unfortunately for him the UK doesn't .
Laura Loomer had been posting these tweets
"Milo Yiannopoulos is an illegal alien who has overstayed his visa and has been illegally residing in the U.S."
Marjorie Taylor Greene is pretending to be against illegal immigration while she has Milo working for her and living with her."
When Milo called for me to be assassinated, I reported him to ICE and the FBI."
"I'm simply one of many people who was threatened with violence by Milo when he was living in America as an illegal alien. When Milo called for me to be assassinated, I reported him to ICE and the FBI. Milo's own behavior is what led to him being deported when he overstayed his visa
"Recently, Candace Owens invited this illegal alien into her home. I told you all that Milo was an illegal alien." .
Why didn't he take action when all this was going on. I'd say arrogance,pride and impunity.For months those tweets were in public domain,he then acts shocked .
I can give you some good advice. If Rubio ever cancels your citizenship,swear an affidavit that you ran away because your family wants you to be circumcised aka FGM. White people will never let anyone go back to their country if they might get that treatment.  |

Until they are shot they never get to appreciate discussions around due process and or gun control. Majority of them don’t live in the US so they can support ICE knowing it won’t affect them.

I didn’t really understand the physical reality of how institutionalized the brutality is in America” he said, adding: “It’s like everybody that’s arrested is an MS-13 gang member, and it hurts a lot more than it looks like on television.”
His remarks came just days after he was deported from the US, after being arrested on Thursday by ICE officers at New Orleans airport.
In a statement last week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the parent agency of ICE, said Yiannopoulos had “legally entered the country” in May 2019, but “chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws”.
Yiannopoulos was an early supporter of Trump before he first became US president in 2016. He is a former editor of Breitbart News and later worked to help the rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, explore a presidential run in 2024.
The homeland security department said Yiannopoulos was issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge on 22 July “after failing to show up for his immigration hearing”.
In the Piers Morgan interview, Yiannopoulos disputed the government’s account and denied previously overstaying a visa. He said he is married to an American, and claimed he held a green card that he was “renewing on a two-year basis Conservatives have a fundamental mental deficiency in that they are unable to relate to an issue unless it happens to them directly. We’ve seen it happen time and time again where they toss aside humanity in favor of what they feel will immediately benefit them until their decision comes to bite them in the peach. We saw it with Meghan McCain and her sudden support for maternity leave after she had her own baby. And the conservative law maker(forgot her name) who started recognizing that abortion is healthcare after she had her own reproductive issues and needed abortion. Prior to that, she was in favor of a total ban without regard to the wellbeing of the mom until it was her turn. They never think anything can happen to them. When it happens to others, they believe it must be the victim’s fault in some way. I forget where I found the research a while back that suggests conservative leaning minds have more primitive brain structures. And it makes sense because they cannot operate above animal-in-the-jungle level of human consciousness. It’s all “eat kill maim” as long as it gets you one step further, no matter what the actual long term outcome is. I can’t take them seriously when they have a change of heart only after they have been affected by their own rhetoric. All it tells me is that in the future, they’ll flip against the community the next chance they get. |

The Guardian has contacted homeland security and the White House for comment on Yiannopoulos’s remarks.
Yiannopoulos also said that while he was detained, “no one would tell me anything” – a common complaint from people held in ICE custody.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been frightened like that before” he told Morgan. “I think maybe in the past I’ve been a little bit blasé when people talked about their trauma, a little bit cavalier when people talked about stuff kind of lingering with them, but I get it now … I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.”
Last year, in posts on social media, Yiannopoulos had been supportive of Trump’s crackdown on immigration.
In one post, he wrote: “There is one concrete thing we must insist on this administration delivering. It matters a lot more than debts measured in imaginary money. We have got to deport millions and millions and millions of people. Without that, nothing else matters.”
In another post, Yiannopoulos had said that California “needs ICE checkpoints at supermarket entrances, gas stations, strip malls, intersections and government buildings, with on the spot deportation for anyone who can’t prove they are in the US legally”.
During Tuesday’s interview, Yiannopoulos said of his past support for Trump: “If I had any clue that anything remotely like this was even possible, I would never have gotten involved in supporting Trump in the first place and I’m very ashamed that I did.” When he wanted this for Somalians he never paused for a moment to consider that it might hurt. People who can’t see the humanity of others are not trustworthy people.
