(5,352 posts)With an understanding that they'll serve out their sentences there. If their COOs refuse, put diplomatic pressure on them. Worst case, imprison them here (we can make plenty of space by freeing nonviolent offenders).
I'm 100% A-OK with deporting aliens who've committed serious crimes, but sending a Mexican or Laotian to South Sudan, presumably just to be kicked off the plane and left on their own (at least I haven't heard of any carceral plans for them), certainly clears the bar of inhumane treatment.
