Nelson Mandela's great-grandson urges Trump to deport white South Africans

Exclusive: Nelson Mandela's Great-Grandson Urges Trump To Deport White South Africans​

Nelson Mandela's great-grandson, Mayibuye Melisizwe Mandela, has called on U.S. President Donald Trump to deport the Afrikaners he accepted as refugees

"If Trump is honest, he should deport those people because they don't qualify to be refugees in the United States of America," Mayibuye Melisizwe Mandela told Newsweek. "Once they land here in South Africa, we must arrest them."

In May, Trump alleged that a genocide against white Afrikaner people is taking place in South Africa and has accepted more than 60 into the United States as refugees, despite Trump's immigration crackdown that has seen other asylum seekers, from Africa and elsewhere, turned away.

The South African government has repeatedly and vehemently denied that a white genocide is taking place, with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa traveling to the White House for a meeting on May 21 to do so.

The first group of 59 people arrived on a charter flight at Dulles International Airport in Virginia on May 13, welcomed by senior officials from the Trump administration.

Smaller groups have followed on commercial flights, according to Amerikaners, a group that supports "disenfranchised South Africans seeking a new future in the United States."

"The resettlement program is being scaled and the numbers will increase radically within the next three months," a spokesperson told Newsweek.

Mayibuye Melisizwe Mandela opened a criminal case against the group on June 12, accusing them of "treason, spreading misinformation and incitement against South Africa," according to an affidavit viewed by Newsweek.

"I believe they should face prison," he said. "White genocide is a very serious allegation and in South Africa we know that there is no white genocide. It's a country where there is crime, like every other country."

White House Deputy Chief of Staff and Homeland Security adviser Stephen Miller previously said: "What's happening in South Africa fits the textbook definition of why the refugee program was created. This is race-based persecution. The refugee program is not intended as a solution for global poverty, and historically, it has been used that way."

Being on a green card has certain rules that can't be broken, crimes or acts that go against good moral character are one of them, which include drugs, alcohol-related offenses. The problem with the good moral character is that its definition is very broad, even petty offenses like theft and being charged can fall under it. Another factor people forget is that having your case sealed doesn't prevent immigration officers from denying your green card or even citizenship papers.

It sucks, but it's the law unfortunately.

Trust me, I know law; as a law enforcement member and as a husband to a lawyer.

The issue I see is, there is an unwritten rule that you don't deport vet (Well, he wasn't deported but was threaten to) that's because when we serve we gave them EVERYTHING, and that bond is NEVER should have been broken because that's exactly how military work, you look out for each other, otherwise if we just discarded vet, a purple heart vet no less like that, WHO IS GOING TO WEAR THE UNIFORM for you?

That guy was me, I got hooked on Oxy when I came back from Afghanistan, wounded, you don't know unless you were there, I got people to support me, my army buddies that didn't let go, and that stayed at that, and I bounced back, that guy didn't. Now, you can arrest him for the mistake he made; they did arrest him, and he did serve the time. That debt was paid. Why do you have to actively go do that? There are laws you enforce, and there are laws you just ignore. You don't go charge people for drug offence if they were raped doing hit. Yeah, that sucks, but if we start doing this, then good luck trying to have people serve the country. When they say "Hey bad luck and that sucks, but there is nothing we can do"

And considering that guy is probably more American than 80% of Americans (To the 20% that had served in the military, and probably more as he was wounded), as I said, that's just ain't right.

Harvard researcher accused of smuggling frog embryos indicted on more charges

Harvard researcher accused of smuggling frog embryos indicted on more charges​

Russian-born Kseniia Petrova, conducting cancer research for Harvard’s medical school, indicted on three new counts

A Harvard University researcher detained by Ice for months after being accused of smuggling frog embryos into the US was indicted on Wednesday on additional criminal charges.

Kseniia Petrova, a Russian-born scientist conducting cancer research for Harvard Medical School, was indicted on Wednesday by a federal grand jury in Boston on one count of concealment of a material fact, one count of false statement and one count of smuggling goods into the United States. She had originally been charged with smuggling in May.


Petrova was stopped at Boston’s Logan airport by US authorities on her way back from France in February, over what appeared to be an irregularity in customs paperwork related to a packet from a specialist lab of superfine spliced sections of frog embryos, for research.

She was arrested and ended up in detention in Louisiana. Petrova was told her visa was being revoked and she was being deported to her native Russia, despite saying she feared persecution for opposing the invasion of Ukraine

She was ordered released on bail in May and transferred back to Massachusetts to face the federal charges. Despite the additional charges on Wednesday, Petrova will remain on pretrial release. A lawyer for Petrova could not be reached for comment.

She said in an interview with the Associated Press in April that she did not realize the items needed to be declared and was not trying to sneak anything into the country.

If convicted of the smuggling charge, Petrova faces a sentence of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. She also faces a sentence of up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 on the charges of concealment of material fact and false statements.

Her colleagues at Harvard have been dismayed at her treatment, saying her expertise in their research is “irreplaceable”, while Petrova said foreign scientists “enrich” the US. She had described conditions in detention as overcrowded, with extremes of temperatures, constant noise and terrible food.

Yet these same people had no issue with J6ers being locked up in solitary for months on end.

Maybe if she hadn't smuggled frog embryos in the first place.

Massachusetts hotel shelters for migrants, homeless families set to close, questions arise

A majority of hotel shelters for migrants and local homeless families in Massachusetts will be closed by the end of Monday.

Massachusetts hotel shelters for migrants, homeless families set to close, questions arise​

A majority of hotel shelters for migrants and local homeless families in Massachusetts will be closed by the end of Monday — a move state officials credit to declining caseloads, one that a watchdog called a “gimmick.”

The Healey administration is expected to shutter 28 sites at the beginning of the week, while the remaining four are slated to stay open through the end of July, officials have confirmed. That will put pressure on advocacy groups working to relocate families who are without housing, the Boston Globe first reported.

Gov. Maura Healey has spent nearly $830 million on the emergency shelter system this fiscal year. Some critics fear that the state’s plan, which they say lacks important details, will prompt costs to skyrocket even more for taxpayers.

The emergency assistance program, exceeding $1.3 billion since the start of fiscal year 2024, has caused a heavy strain on taxpayers since 2022, when then-Gov. Charlie Baker converted some hotels into shelters to accommodate the growing need amid the influx of migrants.

Fiscal year 2025 also ends on Monday.

At the peak of the crisis, nearly 130 hotels operated as shelters, serving 7,500 families and more than 23,000 people in total. The Healey administration projected the caseload to drop below 4,000 families this summer, prompting the closure of all remaining 32 shelters six months ahead of schedule.

“Providers and on-site case managers have been working closely with all impacted families to help them identify secure housing before the closing date,” the state Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities told the Herald on Sunday.

Some Bay Staters are calling for more concrete details on the closures and the steps ahead.

“This move does not solve the crisis,” Jon Fetherston, a former emergency shelter director, told the Herald. “It will only drive up costs for taxpayers, worsen the housing market for working families by pushing up rents, and still offers zero transparency on who is being moved into our neighborhoods.”

Healey credits the declining hotel shelter caseload to a series of reforms her administration has made to the system. A couple of updates included requiring proof of Massachusetts residency and that all family members have lawful immigration status.

“A hotel is no place to raise a family,” Healey said in a statement in May, “and they are the least cost-effective.”

The Healey administration has said that because of the reforms, roughly 85 to 90% of families seeking temporary housing are “now longtime Massachusetts families.”

As hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars have been spent on emergency assistance, Healey has also dumped nearly $100 million toward HomeBase, a program that provides eligible families in the state-run shelter system with $30,000 over two years, and the possibility of a third year.

Housing Secretary Ed Augustus has said the administration will be pausing all approvals for the third year of HomeBase support starting Tuesday, allowing his office to focus on the most families relative to limited resources, the Herald reported last week.

The pause comes as the program’s total caseload increased dramatically between 2023 and 2025, surging from 1,473 families in January 2023, when Healey took office, to 9,059 families as of the end of June, according to state data. Some 5,154 are receiving rental assistance.

Paul Diego Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, said he expects HomeBase will absorb the families moving out of the hotel shelters.

“The governor is still expecting Massachusetts taxpayers to fund the bill for their housing,” he said. “It’s just a new gimmick.”

Augustus says officials also plan to implement “more consistent annual income checks” to ensure families remain eligible for HomeBase and “modernize” data collection to gain a better understanding of how people are leaving the program and target services that better help families.

Though most hotel shelters will be closing on Monday, Fetherston is still calling for the Department of Justice to conduct a federal probe into the system he describes as “dangerous and corrupt.”

Fetherston sprang into the national spotlight after blowing the whistle on the system when he highlighted incident reports alleging domestic abuse and child sexual assault inside the Marlboro shelter he managed.

Fetherston is not buying an argument from the Healey administration that it included criminal background checks on all shelter residents in its series of reforms earlier this year.

“None of the migrants have been properly vetted,” Fetherston said. “Communities across Massachusetts have been kept in the dark while Healey continues to gaslight the public, refusing to give honest answers about the scope, cost, and consequences of her policies.”

I wonder how many years the State could have housed Massachusetts citizens who were homeless (and ignored) with that magic money they never had before but somehow appeared put of nowhere when illegal immigrants started knocking on their door.

Oh it was wonderful!

You see Liberal Democrat Boston waved the "We are a proud Sanctuary City defender so we welcome everybody" flag.

Then they said "Hmm...the US has a shortage of low income housing...I guess we will have to put them in hotels...but we like our hotels to be used for deep pocket big business conventions..limiting them would take money out of our pockets"

What to do...what to do....what to do....

Ah! Send them to the suburbs..problem solved!!!!

Boston: Hey suburbs...can we offload our sanctuary city people on you?

Suburbs: WTF? No. We want no part of this stupid stuff.

Boston: Hey Liberal Governor we sort of talked ourselves into the usual Liberal jam and we can't figure how to get ourselves out of it. Can you please order the suburbs to comply so we can solve our their pesky problem?

Governor: Hey suburbs put these people up in your empty apartments/hotels..or else..

Suburbs: You guys are amazing. The usual Liberal solution of dumping your problems on somebody else.

Boston: yeah F-you too.

Governor: Oh by the way you have to put the kids in your school systems for free too.

Smart suburbs: Well "Gov" we made sure to keep mostly single family zoning and looking at our current hotel situation it seems all our local hotels were unfortunately condemned last year for safety violations...we are really really sorry about that...just bad luck timing I guess.

Governor: Okay i see your little game...touché...guess I'll stick it to the not-so-bright-suburbs with the clueless constituency with lots of dummies. Let me break out the list and see who is down near the bottom in per capita...let's see....hmm...ahh...266
