Panama Releases Dozens of Detained Deportees from US into Limbo Following Human Rights Criticism

Snip>> As an atheist and member of an ethnic minority group in Afghanistan known as the Hazara, he said returning home under the rule of the Taliban — which swept back into power after the Biden administration pulled out of the country — would mean he would be killed. He only went to the U.S. after trying for years to live in Pakistan, Iran and other countries but being denied visas.

Omagh was deported after presenting himself to American authorities and asking to seek asylum in the U.S., which he was denied.

“My hope was freedom. Just freedom,” he said. “They didn't give me the chance. I asked many times to speak to an asylum officer and they told me ‘No, no, no, no, no.’”

Still, he said that leaving the camp was a relief. Omagh and other migrants who spoke to the AP detailed scarce food, sweltering heat with little relief and aggressive Panamanian authorities.

Few of these types of articles ever mention who made money off these poor border crushers at the beginning and more importantly, where is that group of useless people now to help those they profited off of.

The use of the word “Limbo” is a Catholic word right?

“Under international refugee law, people have the right to apply for asylum when they are fleeing conflict or persecution.”

But NOT in the country of their choosing, rather the first safe country they reach...so he had business asking to apply to the US.

Foreigners love to come here because they love our money, our food, our healthcare, our housing, out education, our freedom and our liberty. All the of things AMERICANS FOUGHT FOR. When somebody tried to take them from us, we united and kicked their ass. All of the foreigners who want the American dream need to stand up and create their own American dream in their own land.

Limbo can be used as a Catholic term, usually meaning one is held in Purgatory, or in between heaven and hell. It means you are held in abeyance, where nothing is quite settled.

AMERICA IS NOT A REFUGEE CAMP. If you want asylum, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. This is our home!!! The American Flag is our flag. It’s not the crap you are waving. Donald Trump is our president. Not yours. Your president is the one who kicked your keister out of your country.

There is a process for getting asylum. Since she is in Panama, there are several countries between the US and Panama that she can apply in.
