Some foreigners pulled out of Myanmar scam centers face struggle to get home
BANGKOK –
Hundreds of foreign nationals pulled out of scam compounds in Myanmar during a crackdown on centers run by criminal gangs have little food, scant health care and filthy toilets in the remote militia camp they have been taken to, two detainees said.
Some also have no easy way to get back to their distant home countries after being moved to the camp, along the border with Thailand, which is run by Myanmar's Democratic Karen Benevolent Army (DKBA) militia.
About 470 people are housed in the camp, where already harsh living conditions are deteriorating, two African nationals who are detained there said.

U.S. judge says deportations to South Sudan likely violate court order
U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to members of the media in Washington, D.C., U.S., May 20, 2025. REUTERS/Ken Cedeno By Nate Raymond A federal judge said on Tuesday it appeared the Trump administration had violated a court order by deporting several migrants to South Sudan without ensuring they had a meaningful chance to raise any concerns they had for their safety. U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston told a lawyer with the U.S. Department of Justice during a hastily arranged virtual hearing that the potential violation might constitute criminal contempt and he was weighing ordering a plane carrying the migrants to the African nation to turn around. The judge had previously barred the Trump administration from swiftly deporting migrants to countries other than their own without first hearing any concerns that they might be tortured or persecuted if sent there. Lawyers for a group of migrants pursuing a class action lawsuit on behalf of migrants before Murphy said they learned that nearly a dozen migrants held at a detention facility in Texas were flown to South Sudan on Tuesday morning. The migrants included an individual from Myanmar whose lawyer received an email on Monday from a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official stating the agency's intent to deport his client to South Sudan. The migrant's lawyers said they learned their client had been flown to South Sudan on Tuesday morning. The spouse of a Vietnamese man who was also held at the Port Isabel Detention Center in Texas emailed his lawyer saying that he and 10 other individuals were believed to have been deported as well, the email filed as an exhibit showed. The group also included nationals of Laos, Thailand, Pakistan and Mexico, the spouse said in the email. "Please help! They cannot be allowed to do this." Lawyers for the migrants said conditions in South Sudan have long been dangerous even for locals. The United Nations has warned that the country's spiraling political crisis could reignite the brutal civil war that ended in 2018. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The department in February instructed immigration officers to review cases of people granted protections against being removed to their home countries to see if they could be re-detained and sent to a third country. Murphy, an appointee of former Democratic President Joe Biden, issued a preliminary injunction on April 18 designed to ensure the migrants were provided due process under the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment. The judge required the administration to provide written notice to migrants before removing them to a country not explicitly listed on their final orders of deportation and a "meaningful opportunity" to raise any fears for their safety if sent there. The judge said any migrants who officials deemed to have not demonstrated a reasonable fear must be given at least 15 days to seek to reopen immigration proceedings to challenge their deportation. Murphy has since further modified his injunction to guard against the possibility of DHS ceding control of migrants to other agencies to carry out rapid deportations, after the administration took the position that the U.S. Department of Defense was not covered by his orders. It made that argument after acknowledging the Defense Department flew four Venezuelans held at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba to El Salvador after Murphy's initial ruling. The judge said this month if the military similarly flew migrants to Libya, that would "clearly violate" his ruling. © Thomson Reuters 2025.

Inside South Africa's wildlife CSI school helping to catch poachers
By Julie BOURDIN The rhino lay frozen in the sand, its grey legs stiff, glassy eyes open, horn crudely sawed off. A dead giraffe slumped nearby and a lion's twisted body to the right -- a tableau of devastation. Three figures in white hazmat suits tip-toed through the dust, marking every footprint. They were not first responders to another poaching tragedy, but students at South Africa's Wildlife Forensic Academy, a training centre aiming to fight poaching by teaching investigation skills to rangers, conservation officers and law enforcement. Set inside a sunny warehouse in a private game reserve an hour north of Cape Town, the simulated carnage is staged with taxidermised animals, including rhino "Frikkie" who was poached a few years ago. "The first people who arrive at the crime scene are absolutely crucial," said Phil Snijman, a former prosecutor and trainer at the academy. "They are the ones who will secure the crime scene. In the absence of the necessary training... that might lead to losing a lot of your available evidence," he said, putting the last touches to an elaborate scene leading the students to a poacher's house in a corner of the warehouse. South Africa faces an acute poaching crisis, with more than 10,000 rhinos killed since 2007 according to the International Rhino Foundation. Yet only 36 cases were convicted in court in 2023, according to government figures, in the year almost 500 of the stocky animals were killed. Killings of other species that receive less attention like reptiles and vultures, are even less likely to be prosecuted, said Snijman. "Police aren't always available to come out, especially for a remote crime scene," he said. That gap in justice is something Wendy Willson, a former police trainer and conservationist, sees often. The legal head at Johannesburg's Wildlife Veterinary Hospital said cases of wildlife crime seldom make it to court, and "when they are actually prosecuted, we often end with a lenient sentence". Willson, who is unaffiliated with the Wildlife Forensic Academy, has dedicated herself to "seeking justice for the little creatures" that don't draw public concern like rhinos and elephants. "We are in a crisis where we are losing so many of our small animals. Entire species are completely disappearing, and nobody even knows about it," she told AFP. While "having rangers understand the importance of the chain of custody is very important," she said, it is only one of many challenges to prosecuting wildlife crime -- which include law enforcement resources, community support and prosecutors' awareness of the crimes. Back at the academy, Mari-Su de Villiers -- wearing a mask and blue plastic gloves -- carefully laid down yellow markers next to each footprint surrounding Frikkie. At 28, she works to protect endangered African wild dogs -- but it was a case of animal poisoning, and the help of a trained colleague, that led her to the academy. "They helped our team know what evidence to look out for, anything that seems out of place in a natural environment," she told AFP. Since opening in 2022, the academy has trained over 500 people but only 89 have been rangers, investigators, or conservation officers like De Villiers. Much of the intake comes from European students, admits Snijman, noting that their fees help fund sponsorships for local rangers. Improving the way evidence is gathered, especially forensic material that can stand up in court, will lead to more convictions and serve as a deterrent to future crimes, said Snijman. "One would hope that you don't need an academy like this because there isn't any wildlife crime out there. This is not a perfect solution, but it is a small part of the bigger picture," he sighed, before returning to the dead rhino to imprint his footprints in the sand. © 2025 AFP
