This is Getting out of Hand

This young man has broken no laws; he's come to get an education and play basketball. He hasn't been seen protesting against Israel, nothing. But he might just get deported. This bs has gotten out of hand.

Duke’s Star 7-Footer Facing Possible Deportation After Final Four Loss to Houston

Duke Blue Devils suffered one heartbreak with Saturday’s last-second Final Four loss to Houston, and now, they may have to brace for another.

Duke held as much as a 14-point lead midway through the second half before a combination of its own defensive blunders and some Houston good fortune set the stage for a dramatic finish in the final seconds.

And while the sting of bowing out in the Final Four is still fresh, Duke is also dealing with some possibly unfortunate news regarding 7-foot-2 freshman center Khaman Maluach.

U.S. secretary of state Marco Rubio announced news on Saturday that could potentially lead to Maluach, a South Sudan citizen, being forced to leave the country.

“I am taking actions to revoke all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders and to restrict any further issuance to prevent entry into the United States, effective immediately, due to the failure of South Sudan's transitional government to accept the return of its repatriated citizens in a timely manner,” Rubio wrote.

Duke is aware of the situation, but the university declined to comment on how or if it affects Maluach, per The Athletic’s Brendan Marks.

“Per Duke spokespeople, the program has no comment on the situation at this time,” Marks stated.

Sounds like South Sudan should follow through on its obligations. Sad that this young man might be affected, but it's SOUTH SUDANS actions that are causing this.

Go protest them.

I don’t think they should make exceptions just because he plays Basketball

Either he is a threat or not

They don't have to obey Trumps illegal bullshit. That kid was doing the right thing. Unlike the 34 count criminal punk ass bitch you elected to be president.

Deport Trump!

He was apparently no threat.

He isn't accused of being any kind of threat.

Has nothing to do with him. Has everything to do with South Sudans actions.

Actually, they do. You might want to look up international agreements.

It's unfortunate the kid has got caught up in something his home nation messed up for him

It's another cutting off their nose to spite their face action

I DOUBT hes any threat at all. Hes a college student focusing on BAsketball, but because his country refused to accept those people back from South Sudan who were here illegally the U.S. is taking the step of
revoking visas in some sort of blanket policy. Its nothing personal or having to do with race.

Yep, that's what Sudan did.

His home nation isn't controlled by Trump. His deportations are illegal nd unnecessary.

 

[IM2]

Yep, that's what Sudan did.

Incorrect. Trump is just wrong here, but he's your god so...
