From Trump v Musk to ICE, the worst people we know are having a hard time today as nearly a dozen ICE agents are stranded in a shipping container in Africa with deported migrants, facing threats of malaria, high temperatures and rocket attacks from Yemen.
Nearly a dozen Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials and a group of eight deportees have been left stranded at a U.S. military base in Djibouti, East Africa, after a judge blocked their removal to South Sudan, Newsweek reported.
Federal officials, agents, and detainees are now confined in a makeshift detention center in a shipping container at Camp Lemonnier, facing risks from disease, extreme heat, poor air quality, and warnings of potential rocket attacks.
ICE officers are getting sick due to the conditions.
