Family at centre of Irish deportation to South Africa, has been deported again! And where are RTE, Irish Times, Ivana Bacik, Richard Boyd Barrett and others now? Probably trying to get the egg off their faces! In February 2026, we had wall-to-wall coverage of the "South African" family, the Oyekanmi family (mother, three children) who were being deported from Dublin to South Africa. Irish Times featured the family several times, RTE reported a protest outside the Dept of Justice, Ivana Bacik led the campaign in the Dail to stop the deportation with close support from Richard Boyd Barrett. There was a legal challenge to the deportation, with the family represented by KOD Lyons. On 28 February, they were deported to South Africa. But then, they were deported again on 3 March 2026 from South Africa to Nigeria on the basis they are Nigerian nationals (and not just the mother as claimed in Irish media). The family have been the subject of at least two parliamentary questions in the South African parliament, see below. There are local claims in South Africa that their passports used to enter Ireland were fraudulent, but that hasn't been verified. Given the heartstring-tugging coverage by our mainstream media, you might think the South Africa to Nigeria deportation might merit a footnote, but that might be "decidedly unhelpful" as it may call into question the soundness of our asylum system ( particulaly the vetting, and the soundness of our media, and the soundness of certain politicians). H/T @Paula8178681
Labour leader Ivan Bacik flounced off to Bluesky on account of Twitter being a toxic sewer and that, she has amassed 1.7k followers, her Tweet about Oyekanmi family 19 hrs ago has attracted one like. Good job you're not relying on Bluesky for campaigning or re-election (yet)...

I really hope that as deportation proceedings for Trita Parsi are discussed at @StateDept that the @FBI is also investigating @joekent16jan19 and any communication he has had with @tparsi Parsi both before and after Kent’s resignation from his position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center. @FBIDirectorKash @SecRubio
Interesting to see Trita Parsi @tparsi of NIAC @NIACouncil post this video of a deliberate foreign influence and sabotage effort targeting the Crown Prince of Iran, @PahlaviReza under the guise of a “joke”. Notice the anti-Jewish and pro-Nazi undertones in this so called “prank”. This is basically Russian and IRGC propaganda. Trita Parsi and NIAC have previously been accused of serving as a lobbying arm for the Ayatollah and the Islamic Republic of Iran. In 2020, Senators @tedcruz, @SenTomCotton, and then Senator @GovBraun Mike Braun, who is the current Governor of Indiana, called on the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) to investigate the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), a lobby group they believe acts as a "foreign agent of the Islamic Republic." @PamBondi It’s time for the DOJ to revise @AGPamBondi’s February 2025 memo that took away DOJ funding for FARA enforcement. Trita Parsi should be investigated by the FBI and DOJ, and so should NIAC and @QuincyInst. This is a matter of US National security.

Keir Starmer represented hate preacher Abu Qatada — an Islamist extremist — to help him fight deportation in 2008. When you think he couldn’t sink any lower, he does. This is the man now running Britain: defending terrorists while our streets fill with jihadists and our borders collapse. What else does he have to do before he’s removed? Starmer is a danger to this country. He must go. 🇬🇧 (image courtesy of @RodSpode2)

⚠️A man who brutally kidnapped, r-ped and tortured a young woman has been jailed for 28 years and faces deportation on his release. ➡️Gagandeep Singh, 34, lured the woman into a nightmare after she refused to smuggle a suitcase from Thailand. When she arrived at Birmingham Airport, masked men abducted her and drove her to a house in West London, where she was punched, beaten, whipped, burned and r-ped for over a day. Singh was sentenced to 28 years with 6 years on licence. He will serve at least 18 years before parole eligibility, then face deportation to India with no right of return. ➡️Rather than 'facing deportation' - this should be a definite! Absolutely Horrific.

We’ve done our homework on how to remove the illegals - Restore Britain has produced the most comprehensive deportation policy ever released in Britain. It can be done. It must be done. It will be done.

The USSR regime claimed millions of innocent lives. The first mass deportation of Lithuanian residents took place on 14-19 June 1941. Around 17K innocent people were deported from Lithuania to Siberia – most of them were women & children. Many never returned home.

We all love Trump ! MMA ! And secure borders ! Mass deportation! God bless America
On 15 June 1940, Lavrentiy Beria returned from the Kremlin and wrote in his diary: "Koba [Stalin] has made the final decision on the Baltics. Like it or not, they must be sovietised. They will have to be moved." One year later, they were. 14 June 1941. One night. 15,424 people deported from Latvia. 5,263 arrested and torn from their families. More than 650 later executed. Over 3,400 dead from starvation and disease. More than 1,400 dead in exile. Today we remember them. And we correct the record - because it is still being falsified. The most persistent myth: that deportation lists were drawn up by local informants, neighbours settling scores. It is false. Every list was prepared by the Cheka - the Soviet secret police. Every deportation order bears a Cheka officer's signature. The operation was directed personally by the deputy Soviet security commissar in Moscow. This myth has been spread deliberately to shift responsibility from the Kremlin and dissolve a centrally planned imperial crime into a fog of local grievance. Today Russia is running the same system in Ukraine. Since 2022, approximately 4.7 million Ukrainians have been forcibly displaced. Ukrainian children abducted, handed to Russian families, stripped of their identity. The ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Putin on exactly these charges. 14 June is not only a day of remembrance. It is the line between truth and lies. We are not defending a victim's narrative. We are defending the facts - naming the crime, the occupation, and those responsible. That is not weakness. That is the only honest response to those who would rewrite history until the aggressor looks like a liberator.
