60 Minutes Commits Immigration Fraud by Presenting Yet Another Fake Deportation Sob Story

60 Minutes
@60Minutes
Within five days of being deported from the U.S., Moussa Diawara says Ghanaian officials forced him onto a flight to Mali, the very country a U.S. immigration judge ruled he could not be deported to. Diawara says he was homeless and went into hiding.

So, what they're talking about is the practice of deporting asylum-claiming immigrants to "safe third countries."

Sometimes those safe third countries then evaluate the asylee's claims and determine them to be fake or overblown, and deport them to their country of origin.

This is completely permissible in the law:

This is referred to in the law as "refouling."
DHS is not allowed to send a illegal alien to a country where it believes that country will commit "refouling".
But, it is up the Sec. of State to negotiate the agreements with the government of that foreign country on this issue.
That's what Rubio did with Pres. Bukele of El Salvador with regard to Venezuelan illegals sent to CECOT.
But case law is nearly iron-clad -- authored by CJ Roberts -- that it is beyond the expertise and lawful authority of the judiciary to second-guess the agreements negotiated with foreign governments in this kind of circumstance.
That's they law.
60 Minutes can run all the hit pieces they want but the Trump Admin. is following the law as established by Congress.

In other words: the third countries we send deportable aliens to have their own courts to evaluate asylum claims, and if they find, through their own processes, that these claims are invalid or contrived, they can deport the alien as well.

Is leftist 60 Minutes so racist that they would say that Ghana's courts are entirely incompetent and corrupt? Do they not believe that Proud African People can serve as judges?

And: is this poor migrant really at risk if he is sent back to Mali?

No, not really.

His big claim of persecution is.... "I claim I'm gay, so I get to stay."

James Percival
@DHSGenCounsel
This illegal alien is @60Minutes poster child for what it claims are wrongful deportations. I pulled his file. His claimed reason for fearing Mali was that he is "gay," just in case you're wondering how bad the immigration fraud problem is.

David Strom points out that, before he claimed asylum for being "gay," this father-of-two committed immigration fraud:

Of course, our model (non)citizen has a backstory that 60 Minutes carefully downplayed, including the fact that he was deported after having committed immigration fraud.
This father of two wonderful children, you see, is "gay," and his whole case for asylum was based on the fact that his homosexuality made him a target.

Among this homosexual's complaints: Upon arrest, he was not allowed to call his female wife.

It seems to me that of all the "homosexuals" in the world, this married father of two would be among the most equipped to "blend in" with the straights.

Diawara has been fighting deportation for 14 years based on a false claim; he got his final deportation order in 2012, and obviously has enough money to live just about anywhere he wants to. He wanted to live here, though, illegally, and after 14 years of delay, he forced an unnecessary deportation. As the Supreme Court said in its ruling on bail for illegal aliens, they are not being detained by the government so much as choosing to stay in government custody rather than departing as ordered.
At any time, he could have gone anywhere. This was his choice.

Their main "source" for this "story" is an open-borders group funded by almost every hard-left agitprop group in the world.

It gets worse: The DHS official "interviewed" by 60 Minutes did extremely well in the debate -- and 60 Minutes did treat this like an adversarial prosecutorial interrogation, not a news report -- so 60 Minutes cut out all the parts where the official exposed the "reporter" as an agenda-slinging propagandist.

🚨 UPDATE: 60 Minutes CAUGHT RED-HANDED leaving this BRUTAL exchange out of the aired interview after DHS General Counsel James Percival dismantled their 3rd-country deportation narrative
They CUT THIS OUT!
PERCIVAL: "And then when they got to their home country, are you suggesting that they were persecuted or tortured?"
60 MINUTES: "Some have faced violence, but that's not what I'm alleging. No."
PERCIVAL: "So you're suggesting that Ghana is not accurately adjudicating whether they fear persecution or torture in their home country. If that were true, you would expect those people to return to their home country and then face persecution or torture... And if they're going to their home country and you're not hearing claims that they're being persecuted or tortured, then that suggests that Ghana's procedures are adequate...And it doesn't sound like you're making that claim."
60 MINUTES: "I'm not saying that I have cases that I'm going to show you where this is happening, mostly because, you know, this is all very recent."
No wonder CBS cut this out — the reporter flat-out admitted on camera that she didn't have a SINGLE case of anyone actually being tortured! 🤯
Thankfully they got their OWN TAPE of this very interview.
Every Republican must continue doing this. Always have the full tape on hand! https://t.co/RiK43YRI2z

So let me get this straight...
Amy Klobuchar issued over 1,000 press releases during the period when Feeding Our Future fraud was happening, without mentioning fraud once.
Now she's claiming she fought to secure additional federal prosecutors.
But DOJ records show that Minnesota's U.S. Attorney's Office added five positions focused on Tribal public safety and missing or murdered Indigenous people, not to fight fraud.
The office had 59 attorneys in 2022 and reportedly 64 before the departures in 2025.
So where are the additional fraud prosecutors Klobuchar says she fought for?
And why isn't the local media pressing her for answers?
Weird.

Getting deported to Djibouti sounds awful.

Maybe illegals should self-deport home.

Besides, they need to save themselves from racist, imperialistic, capitalistic, oligarchical, fascist, police state that is Trumpamerica.

Just to save the brown bodies of the world, they should flee.

And that in a nutshell is the issue, Trump is following the laws of the country. biden ignored the laws and allowed unfettered illegal immigration, that is what the left wants and Trump refuses to do that.

22 Here, I was curious about ratings and asked AI. 60 minutes still draws 6 to 10 million a week. But really, in a country of 343 million or so, it's hardly watercooler.

No news show is...

From ChatGPT

What stands out

- 60 Minutes dominates the weekly newsmagazine category. Its roughly 7.7 million average is more than twice the audience of 20/20 or Dateline.

- ABC World News Tonight leads the evening news programs, with approximately 8.4 million viewers per broadcast.

- CBS Evening News is a distant third, attracting roughly half ABC's audience.

- Sunday political interview programs attract much smaller audiences, generally around 2.5–2.7 million.

There's also an interesting contradiction in the 60 Minutes numbers. Its fourth episode attracted just 6.06 million viewers, reportedly its smallest fourth-episode audience in at least 25 years. Yet the show remains a substantial draw compared with its direct competitors.

Trump said frequently that he was deporting everyone. That was his campaign promise. "The biggest deportation machine in history," and history includes Operation Wetback (which was a scam and precursor to DACA, but whatever).

The "worst of the worst" came from Homan about how ICE operates in choosing who to pursue. Worst of the worst was top of the list, and he always said, "anyone else caught in the dragnet not authorized to be here goes, too". So, Juan, wanted for robbery, runs into his home because ICE is in pursuit and ICE also takes his wife and three kids? Well, 20% were criminals, but we deported them all.

Nielsen ratings were always somewhat of a fraud and because advertisers back in the day complained about channel switching which made their mid program ads worthless, Nielsen briefly used a people meter on some respondents to actually measure time spent in front of the screen and promptly dropped it due to its destructive impact on advertising. Have no idea what they use nowadays to gauge but the 'diary' recall by paid participants was always sketchy.

50's movies were correct--mass advertising is mostly a scam perpetrated by the media to prop up profits and their co-conspirators buying ads for corporate marketing. Same with political ads.

Which is why social media became the big dog and in turn is widespread fakery of numbers (bots, etc.). Ecclesiastes was right, "There is nothing new under the sun".

Trump said frequently that he was deporting everyone. That was his campaign promise. "The biggest deportation machine in history," and history includes Operation Wetback (which was a scam and precursor to DACA, but whatever).

The "worst of the worst" came from Homan about how ICE operates in choosing who to pursue. Worst of the worst was top of the list, and he always said, "anyone else caught in the dragnet not authorized to be here goes, too". So, Juan, wanted for robbery, runs into his home because ICE is in pursuit and ICE also takes his wife and three kids? Well, 20% were criminals, but we deported them all.

153 Speaking of numbers, Harry Enten just putbout a lengthy prognostication of the election. In it he says the GOP gets slammed in the House races and the Senate is up for grabs.

History, he says, is the if polling is wrong and one party outperforms that party tends to outperform on all close races in the various states. Senate races are all basically within the margin of error in six states, so if the GOP candidate outperforms in say, Texas, then that will likely be true in all the close races. So he says the numbers suggest Democrats have a very slight edge, but there is an overwhelming likelihood (90 % plus)one party or the other will emerge with a comfortable edge in the Senate.

What is the cause of this? He says the President is unpopular because of, get this, gasoline prices. That could cost us the election, says Enten.

AFAIK, Charles was an isolationist and WWI veteran but not a Not See sympathizer.

He reported back to the US govt from his foreign tours about growing Not See airplane strength and due to his fame and Germanic name, Not Sees were proud to show him around there including new models in their Luftwaffe. After WWII, his name was mud due to the American First notoriety and it took Jimmy Stewart's film, Spirit of St. Louis to revive his reputation. I seriously doubt Jimmy would have done the film if Lindberg was an actual Not See sympathizer nor would Lindberg be allowed to have a private meal with the Apollo 8 (IRRC) crew just before they orbited the Moon.
