Sarah Stillman for the New Yorker fills us in on the Trump administration's removal of noncitizens to faraway lands with which the deportee has no ties and connections. The first paragraphs are ominous:
"One Saturday morning in early September, I got a WhatsApp video call from eleven strangers locked inside a secretive detention camp in a forest in Ghana. Their faces looked glazed with sweat and stricken with fear. In the background, I could hear birdsong and the drone of insects. . . .
“There are big snakes here, and scorpions!” a male voice with an American accent called out.
“My stomach is really hurting, and we have to beg for food,” another man said.
A third added, “We fear we’ll be tortured and killed.”
