The US President freaks out at Truth Social. The Trump administration is deporting migrants to a notorious maximum security prison in Africa. All developments in the news blog.
On his social network Truth Social, US President Donald Trump made a series of posts in which he raged against the US Supreme Court. The nine judges are currently dealing with the question of whether the US President can impose tariffs without congressional approval. A decision has not yet been made. However, the judges, including those nominated by Trump, had so far asked the US President’s representative strikingly skeptical questions.
Trump wrote, among other things, in a post: “People who are against tariffs are MORONS!” However, whether tariffs in themselves make sense or are permissible is not at all part of the question that the judges are dealing with. Trump wrote in another post: “This is all ridiculous! (…) Companies come to the USA ONLY BECAUSE OF THE TARIFFS. DIDN’T YOU TELL THE SUPREME COURT ABOUT THIS??? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE???President DJT (sic)”
The Trump administration is deporting migrants to the small African state of Eswatini. The last absolute monarchy on the African continent has agreed to accept up to 160 migrants deported from the USA – and in return will receive 5.1 million dollars (around 4.4 million euros) to secure its borders. The deported migrants – including citizens from Vietnam, Jamaica and Cuba – are being held in the notorious high-security Matsapha prison without charge and without access to lawyers, an investigation by the AFP news agency has shown.
The prison has been used to suppress imprisoned government critics in the small South African state for decades. The first five migrants deported from the USA arrived in Matsapha in July – one of them has already been repatriated from there to his home country of Jamaica. Ten more deportees were detained there in October, as confirmed by the Eswatini government, which plans to send all detainees back to their countries sooner or later.
