Comment on Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*?

Do you remember how prisoners were kept in Guantanamo Bay, even after they were no longer suspected of any wrongdoing, simply because there wasn’t a country that would both accept them and treat them in accordance with US law? Many of those prisoners ended up nowhere near where they came from.
Some countries refuse to accept deportees. Some countries are so likely to mistreat deportees that sending them to those countries is illegal. Some countries simply don’t exist anymore.

The fucking thought that Americans feel superior enough to not allow another country to take them…in this case from their extra judicial torture black site.

The Uyghurs in Guantanamo didn’t want to go back to China.

The point being that the US would see fit to refuse to return someone to a particular country all the while torturing them in the same black site.
