      Many Hospitals Deport Injured, Ill Immigrants

      (Newser) - The case of an illegal immigrant from Guatemala has called attention to a little-known, but common, practice at US hospitals: the deportation of immigrants without insurance. Injured in a car accident, the immigrant spent years at a Florida hospital before being repatriated by court order, the New York Times reports. An appeals court overruled the decision, stating that deportation falls under the federal government's purview. More »

      US Drugging Foreigners for Deportation

      (Newser) - The US government injects hundreds of illegal immigrants with dangerous psychotropic drugs to keep them sedated while being deported, the Washington Post reports.

Used far more often than the "last resort" it's advertised as, the practice violates some international human-rights codes. More »

      Mugabe Love Story Sparked Hatred of UK

      (Newser) - Robert Mugabe's hatred of the British may have stemmed from an affair of the heart, reports the Independent. Newly released letters from the 1960s show the future tyrant openly begged London not to deport his then-wife, Sally Mugabe, who had fled Rhodesia in the 1960s when he was jailed for anti-colonial activities. "It is certainly unfair for the British government to add to the misery of her already broken life," Mugabe wrote. More »
