May catch more than one...
A new tactic may be to use deportees as bait to draw out others.
Reminds me of when the Japanese had a problem with a bunch of Iranian immigrants. They advertised a party in the park to celebrate Iranian New Year, and ambushed them with a bunch of riot police and paddy wagons. Took them right to the airport.
You are one of maybe 5 or 10 people I have met outside Japan who know about that, but that is exactly correct.
there were tens of thousands of illegal, drug dealing, thieving Iranian illegals and Japan got rid of them all.
it’s a part of Japanese history that’s covered up.
they use used a ruse, just like you said.
Or the time they got a bunch of criminals to show up for “free Redskins tickets” in D.C. ...LOL.
