 El-Rufai’s Family Protests SSS Detention, Alleges Torture, Medical Neglect Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai has continued to face controversy over his detention, as members of his family and supporters staged a protest in Abuja on Monday over his custody by the State Security Service (SSS). The demonstrators, which included Senator Lawal Adamu and close relatives of the former governor, accused security authorities of subjecting him to psychological pressure and denying him access to medical care despite existing court directives. Speaking outside the SSS facility, El-Rufai’s second wife, Asia, said the family had been living under fear due to what she described as persistent surveillance and security intimidation connected to the case. According to her, the tension increased after El-Rufai appeared before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja, where he was granted bail before the matter was adjourned.  She alleged that despite prior arr...

 US officials deport Asian migrants to South Sudan


US immigration officials have begun deporting about 12 South Asian migrants to South Sudan, according to a court filing and media reports.


Immigration lawyers learned from a detention officer's email that a Burmese national, identified as "N.M." was "removed...to South Sudan", they wrote in a filing seeking the court's intervention and the return of the migrants. 


A second migrant, a Vietnamese national identified as T.T.P. in the filing, "appears to have suffered the same fate" along with at least 10 others, AFP reported.


The removal violates an earlier order, the lawyers said, noting they had last filed an emergency motion on May 7, after media reports indicated immigration officials were seeking to deport N.M. and others to Libya and Saudia Arabia.


The court had sided with plaintiffs and "the men were ultimately transported back to an immigration detention center after remaining on a bus on the base's tarmac for three or four hours", the filing said.


The filing also noted that a flawed peace deal in South Sudan collapsed this week, and N.M. is being flown "into a country that is now returning to full-blown and catastrophic civil war".


The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment.


In early April, the Trump administration banned visas for South Sudanese nationals, as part of Presidend Donald Trump's ever-broadening anti-immigration platform.


The Republican president has said the United States faces an "invasion" by "foreign criminals". 


In February, Trump invoked rarely used wartime legislation to fly some 250 Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador without any court hearings, alleging they belonged to the Tren de Aragua gang, a charge that their families and lawyers deny.
