The New Yorker magazine is catching flak for publishing what critics called a sympathetic profile of a convicted murderer who was deported by the Trump administration.
Orville Etoria, 62, originally from Jamaica, was detained in New York City during a routine ICE check-in in June and sent to Eswatini in southern Africa - a country he has no ties to.
Etoria was profiled by the magazine along with several others subjected to what the story slammed as 'secretive third-country removals.'
Etoria was convicted of second-degree murder after shooting a man in a Brooklyn leather-goods store in 1996. He was sentenced to twenty-five years to life.
The conditions of his 2021 release required him to check in annually with authorities in order to stay in the US.
Critics of the story took to to social media to blast its framing as needlessly sympathetic, months after a New York Times story about Etoria was ripped as 'disgraceful and disgusting' by the Department of Homeland Security.
Both pieces noted how Etoria served his time in prison.
'I think it is fine to deport people convicted of LITERAL MURDER,' one X user wrote, responding to a post from the New Yorker promoting the piece.

Please allow me to introduce myself…….
NYC inteelektshuls love this sort of thing.
Remember when Norman Mailest got that “writer” sprung from prison, and the guy then went on to kill a waiter who told him that he couldn’t use the restaurant bathroom?
Mailest did the “he lay low” act after that little affair ended.
We'll see how much rabble rousing comes from the 'New Yorker' after that.
Pleased to meet you ...
It’s so nice of the reporter to mention that the murderer has no ties to Eswatini, but without mentioning what his ties were (if any) to the US when he first came here.
The hate America left controls the media and the Democratic Party. Decent ,rational Americans must come to understand that they will use whatever institution they control to corrode and destroy the American nation.
Back of the line.
“Won’t you guess my name??”
Why, I hear that Eswatini is simply lovely this time of year!
Springtime for Estwatini and Etoria...

Actually the illegal alien murderer is back in Jamaica
Is ‘Eswatini’ a few acres of USG purchased, established, controlled land in Africa?
never heard of it..
No wonder they have the idiots running New York. Heck yeah, give’em a lot of flack. Suspect nothing is said about the victim or the victim’s family. Glad to see this murdering thug out of the US.
Poor Orville booted out and no recognition for inventing the airplane.
