WorkWorkWorkCan Trump Deport People to Any Country That Will Take Them? - The New Yorker (No paywall) Earlier this month, the Trump Administration deported eight migrants to South Sudan, a country beset by conflict and extreme hunger. Only one of the men, who have all been convicted of violent crimes, is from South Sudan, and their families have reportedly not heard from them since their arrival in that country.

WorkMore European countries want to send their prisoners to other countries - The Economist (No paywall) Europes JUSTICE ministries have a problem.
