NYT: Deported migrant faces indefinite detention in Eswatini
A shadow docket ruling from the Supreme Court allowed this to happen www.nytimes.com/2026/08/12/m...
Quinta Jurecic25A district court enjoined these third-country removals in April 2025. SCOTUS stayed the injunction on June 23, 2025. Roberto Mosquera was deported to Eswatini on July 16, 2025. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-... www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p... www.amnestyusa.org/urgent-actio...

Katherine7How do the SCOTUS corrupt conservative 6 live with themselves, sleep at night, they are horrid. We should impeach them
This is atrocious. Imagine dropping someone in a country where they have no ties, they know nobody, they don't speak their language, and in a prison where they don't know if they'll ever get out. That's one of the most cruel things you can do to anyone.
Carl S. Ergo Sum2Reminds me of the time the Russian Duma outlawed the opposition anti-war party prior to the election. Just make shit up.
Clio1but oh, please don't worry, our legacy media is on it, it seems cancelling Thanksgiving is the radical position and Kafkaesque and totalitraian justice is just fine and dandy.
Brian5there is not a hell hot enough for the goons working for this administration
Wannabe Apparatchik3my #1 issue in 2028 is “get all the people we have done this to, and all the money we’ve paid for it, back” if that means military force, then so be it, anyone we kill will be a warning for the future that any promise or deal of this nature is not going to be upheld by a future administration
Doug Lindner3If you have a conscience, you see this is state-sponsored human trafficking. But even if you want heartless mass deportation…do private jet flights and multimillion-dollar payments to foreign governments sound scalable?
Gabrielle🇸🇨2Every American sitting behind their screens and tutting is also responsible for this barbaric cruelty.
New from NYT Magazine. Roberto Mosquera came to the U.S. from Cuba at 12 in the 1980 Mariel boatlift. He served his time for an old crime. Now he sits in a maximum-security prison in Eswatini, a country he had never heard of, with no charge and no way out. 🧵
Jon Hutson22The detail the government hopes you skip: he supported Trump. Didn't matter. He served his time, then vanished into a foreign prison with no charge and no way out. An autocratic, white supremacist machine like this has no heart and no exceptions. It just hasn't locked up you yet.
Annie6So many sickening stories. There has to be a reckoning.
NACDL4The pattern @almadavid.bsky.social, @humanrightsfirst.org & @refugeesinternational.org have documented with @aclu.org @immigrantjustice.bsky.social in one man's story. Roberto Mosquera. Held over a year in a maximum-security prison in Eswatini. No charge. No way out. Every defender should read this.
