  Hello and welcome back to episode of Bantu Lorencia.
• 0:06
  How are you all doing if you're doing great For today's episode,
• 0:08
  I want to talk about immigration issues.
• 0:13
  Now there's this nurse in America, Rabiat Cuiante.
• 0:17
  She travelled over 30 years ago. She's in nurse in America.
• 0:23
  She. Has been.
• 0:24
  She was deported recently to Ghana because Ghana had signed a
• 0:31
  an agreement with the US to accept W African immigrants.
• 0:36
  So Rabiat is from Sierra alone and then she was deported to
• 0:41
  Ghana. The video that went viral was
• 0:44
  since she was deported to Ghana, Rabiat refused to.
• 0:50
  She was in a hotel. So when they arranged for her to
• 0:54
  be now deported from Ghana to Syria alone, she was fighting,
• 0:58
  she was dragging. She said she didn't want to go
• 1:00
  because according to her she is, she has lived in the all her
• 1:04
  life, 30 years, 3 decades. She stayed in the US, she has
• 1:08
  kids there. She said that her family's
• 1:11
  there. She said the reason why she left
• 1:13
  Syria alone was because she feared for her life.
• 1:16
  Now going back to Syria alone, she said she didn't want to go.
• 1:19
  So the Ghanaian officials were literally dragging her on the
• 1:22
  floor, dragging her to to the car That went viral.
• 1:29
  After several days, she was moved to an ice facility in
• 1:31
  Louisiana, where she was held for months, according to her
• 1:35
  attorney. Honestly, I don't think anyone
• 1:36
  expected her to be detained just because nothing had changed with
• 1:39
  her circumstances. Immigration attorney Hannah
• 1:41
  Bridges represents Coyote and says while she was held in
• 1:44
  Louisiana this past September, a judge granted an order saying
• 1:48
  she could not. He sent back to Sierra Leone,
• 1:50
  where she says her client had been tortured.
• 1:53
  Bridges says the US immediately began exploring other countries
• 1:57
  to send her, to which she also tried to fight in court with
• 2:00
  requests for hearings. Those requests went
• 2:03
  unacknowledged. Are you concerned that her civil
• 2:06
  rights were violated during this process?
• 2:09
  Absolutely she should have been given notice and an opportunity
• 2:13
  to seek protection from removal to 1/3 country the government
• 2:16
  had multiple opportunities to do.
• 2:19
  This Bridges says earlier this month, QR Day was flown from the
• 2:23
  US to Ghana, a country she's never been to.
• 2:25
  Before is this the didn't necessary that the immigration
• 2:27
  officers would drag this woman down to her home because
• 2:30
  according to the news, allegedly the US deported this woman down
• 2:33
  to Ghana. Here when she arrived Ghana, the
• 2:35
  immigration officers insisted that they would take her to her
• 2:38
  home whereas the woman said no that she want to go by herself.
• 2:41
  Guys, is it necessary that the immigration officers need to do
• 2:45
  this? They will be attacking my
• 2:47
  auntie. In fact, it's very bad.
• 2:49
  It's very bad. It's terrible.
• 2:52
  Good afternoon, everybody. Good afternoon.
• 2:58
  I did. I did make this video.
• 3:00
  I did make this video. I did make this video because
• 3:03
  with a heavy heart, this Amphedima today is, I don't
• 3:11
  know, 10th, 11th, 12th of November 2025, twelfth November
• 3:17
  2025. And right now it's 120 in Texas
• 3:22
  and they make this video with a heavy heart.
• 3:24
  I saw a video just now, so disturbing.
• 3:29
  And it. Make.
• 3:29
  My heart sick. And nobody never wants even an
• 3:32
  enemy for let something like this happen to her with sister
• 3:39

• 3:46

  Immigration pick her up. ICE pick her up.
• 4:12
  And I see the video. I see the video of the dragon
• 4:15
  thinking dignity. I went to Ghana.
• 4:18
  We all block people down. They run away from the country.
• 4:23
  They don't live all these years. And then we are people there,
• 4:27

• 4:28

  Shame on them. Shame on them.

  The Ghanaian president Una go same with sister.
• 5:44
  Whatever it is, I don't know. Whatever the situation, but this
• 5:47
  is troubling. It's very, very troubling.
• 5:53
  Then they take away with dignity.
• 5:56
  Then they take away with dignity.
• 5:58
  They take away dignity. Mom, this is not good.
• 6:05
  This is not good. This is not good.
• 6:07
  Lord, have mercy. All inclined, welcome.
• 6:11
  She's not a criminal. We're going to do something.
• 6:17
  We're going. To do bad thing, all she was
• 6:19
  looking for is a better life, which she meant for herself in
• 6:23
  America. But America, they change, but we
• 6:29
  that's why. We they.
• 6:30
  Call them we never. We government never fix we
• 6:32
  country. No matter.

  I don't send out to Sylvia Bloody.
• 6:53
  I don't sell out to chief Minister, I don't.
• 6:54
  Set up. I don't set up do something.
• 6:59
  We're not giving people their dignity.
• 7:02
  They are not criminals. All they came for is a better
• 7:06
  life. This is not Fatima all they came
• 7:11
  to America and then continued enough.
• 7:13
  What was a better life The. Other pussy where they're under.
• 7:26
  This predicament right now, America is not like the America
• 7:32
  we used to know. We fix we country America, then
• 7:39
  they go back, then they go friend, then they go search for
• 7:42
  kick the people. They're out this president's now
• 7:46
  with the making America great again.
• 7:51
  They are taking people out, good people that went on.
• 7:54
  They paid tax. She was never a criminal, a well
• 7:59
  respected woman at the community.
• 8:03
  And this is the video that comes out for Salon government.
• 8:07
  Dion Amekis Unamekis, Gopulan Komodi.
• 8:12
  God bless you all this Aphidima. This is nothing anybody should
• 8:16
  be proud of or rejoice over. It can happen to anybody because
• 8:23
  the craziness of here, the uncertainty of now, the
• 8:29
  uncertainty of now. Let God bless you.
• 8:33
  Hi, this woman whose name I will say wrong, Rabbi Atu Kayate.
• 8:39
  I'm probably putting a little too much seasoning on it.
• 8:42
  Rabbi Atu Kayate was a nurse that's lived in America for 30
• 8:46
  years, originally from Sierra Leone, and she had to emigrate
• 8:51
  to the US with protections because she was being tortured
• 8:55
  in that country. After 30 years of checking in
• 8:58
  for her annual appointments like she's supposed to, you know,
• 9:01
  immigration appointments under the Trump regime, ICE decided
• 9:06
  that she needed a removal order. Friendly reminder, at the
• 9:09
  beginning of this very short video, I told you she's a nurse.
• 9:12
  She wasn't hanging out committing crimes.
• 9:14
  So when the Republicans tell you, yeah, we got to get rid of
• 9:16
  the bad apples, get the criminals out of the country,
• 9:19
  half the time they just send them to Florida.
• 9:21
  And more than half the time they're not criminals.
• 9:23
  It's about racism, not immigration or law.
• 9:25
  And order this woman who had an order from a judge for BIOT 2
• 9:30
  was was ordered by a judge. She cannot be removed back to
• 9:33
  Sierra Leone and then oops, while in ICE custody,
• 9:38
  transported down to Louisiana, kept there for months, all of a
• 9:41
  sudden a bus shows up to take her in shackles back to this
• 9:45
  country that she'd escaped from 30 years 30.
• 9:49
  It's not like it happened three months ago.
• 9:51
  And even if it did, in my opinion, oops, don't send people
• 9:54
  back to where they were tortured.
• 9:56
  You know what I mean? Whether it was last week or 30
• 9:58
  years ago. But dear God, after 30 years and
• 10:01
  having a family here, kids here, she's back.
• 10:07
  And now there's a video on the Internet of her being dragged by
• 10:11
  the Ghanian government, potentially.
• 10:14
  And this woman went from having a normal American life, working
• 10:17
  at hospitals, taking care of you and me, and she's back being
• 10:21
  tortured in Sierra Leone. And I just wanted to tell you,
• 10:27
  don't forget, there's a certain list that we all need to be
• 10:29
  talking about, but there's some really important stuff going on
• 10:33
  besides that. To your neighbours.
• 10:36
  Thanks. Now, the reason why I want to
• 10:40
  talk about this is because there are so many immigrants that
• 10:43
  travel and then just relax, forgetting that if any a, a, a
• 10:50
  country that is not your country, you have to make sure
• 10:54
  that you legalise your stay. You have to legalise your stay.
• 11:00
  Imagine being in a country for over 30 years.
• 11:03
  You're working as a nurse. So it's not like you're not
• 11:05
  making money. You're making money.
• 11:07
  You're any money. You have kids who are Americans
• 11:11
  in the Uka child, let's say, regardless of your status, if
• 11:17
  you have a child in the UK and the father is a citizen, then
• 11:23
  you can. That child being a citizen is
• 11:26
  going to sort out your own paper, but still you have to
• 11:29
  apply. I think the problem was that she
• 11:31
  never bothered, because in America you can actually work
• 11:36
  without, you know, I don't even know how it works.
• 11:39
  How can you know? How can you work?
• 11:42
  I don't know. How can you be in America
• 11:45
  working as a nurse and you don't have your papers?
• 11:50
  It doesn't make sense. I don't know, but that was what
• 11:53
  happened to her. Let me know what you think.
• 11:55
  Do you think that we immigrants sometimes drop the ball by
• 12:01
  ignoring certain things that we needed to do?
• 12:04
  Just because you're in a place where you you can work doesn't
• 12:11
  mean you shouldn't sort out your immigration papers.
• 12:15
  This should be a lesson to every immigrant living abroad.
• 12:20
  If your papers are not sorted, my dear, start sorting it out
• 12:24
  now, especially those in America.
• 12:28
  Trump is crazy. Trump is deporting everybody and
• 12:32
  Ghana, Ghana, Ghana, Ghana is accepting everybody.
• 12:37
  Ghana is Ghana is the next Ghana.
• 12:43
  What do we do to Ghana? Do we, what do we do to Ghana
• 12:46
  because Ghana betrayed Trump came to Nigeria and asked for,
• 12:50
  you know, Nigerian government to accept and Nigeria said no,
• 12:55
  we're not accepting anybody. Ghana betrayed us, Ghana
• 12:59
  betrayed West Africa. Do we need to talk about it or
• 13:03
  are they just, you know, chasing money and chasing dollars?
• 13:08
  Let me know what you think. Thank you very much for watching
