According to NBC, "South Sudanese nationals, including Duke University Men’s Basketball star Khaman Maluach, face possible deportation after the Trump administration announced a new visa policy this past weekend." "Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that the U.S. will be revoking all visas of South Sudanese passport-holders because of the transitional government’s refusal to accept U.S. deportees from the country in a “timely manner.”" Duke basketball star among South Sudanese who could be deported due to new Trump policy More bullshit from this administration, just like what was voted for. Sure hope Chinyelu/Nigeria and Condon/Australia stay off Skidmark's radar.
Woulda been funny had Duke won the tournament and ICE picked him up when the team visited the White House. One can only imagine the Karens freakin out.
It helps to understand the fantasies of performative cruelty if you realize that they don't want Khaman Maluach to be viewed as an actual person.
Would have been funny if Duke beat Houston and they deported him before the Championship game. There was a ton of futures bet money on Duke to win it all before the tournament began. The bookies are pretty happy now that Duke has been eliminated..
Otherism. "They're not like us." Once that is subconsciously accepted, varying levels of disrespect, cruelty or inhumanity are tolerated. It's what ancient cultures used to justify barbarism. It's what MAGA uses to justify racism. The best/worst part of it is how explicitly Trump expresses it; "These people crossing the border - they're not like you and me!" Pretty sad, but that's modern America.
