The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has blasted The New York Times for its reporting on a convicted Jamaican murderer who was deported by the Trump administration in July.

The Times ran its headline as,"The Man Who’d Served His Time In U.S. Is Deported to an African Prison." The first sentence of the article explained how Orville Etoria had shot and killed a man in Brooklyn nearly 30 years ago.

"DISGRACEFUL AND DISGUSTING! The failing @NYTimes is peddling another disgusting sob story for a criminal illegal alien. Orville Etoria was convicted of MURDER. It is absolutely revolting that the New York Times is actively defending convicted murderers over American citizens. DHS will continue enforcing the law at full speed—without apology," DHS responded in a post on X on Monday, accusing the publication of downplaying the seriousness of Etoria’s horrific 1996 crime.

Etoria was sentenced to 25 years to life and given a deportation order in 2009. 

As well as murder, DHS has said Etoria’s criminal history included armed robbery, possession of a weapon, and forcible theft.

During his sentence at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in New York, Etoria earned a bachelor’s degree via the Hudson Link program at Mercy College and graduated in 2018. He also pursued a master’s in divinity. 

After Etoria was released in 2021, the Biden administration allowed him to remain in the U.S. so long as he checked in with ICE and despite the standing deportation order.

This summer, the Trump administration ordered Etoria to be deported to Eswatini, a small southern African country where he's not a citizen. 

In July, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced the deportation of five deportees from Vietnam, Laos, Cuba and Yemen, including Etoria.

"A safe third country deportation flight to Eswatini in Southern Africa has landed. This flight took individuals so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back," DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin wrote on X at the time.

"These depraved monsters have been terrorizing American communities," she continued, adding that they are now "off of American soil," she added.

DHS said Jamaica and other countries refused to accept Eswatini, though Jamaican officials have since disputed that claim.

"Orville Etoria, an illegal alien from Jamaica, is a convicted MURDERER… Sixteen years later this MURDERER is off our streets and OUT of our country. President Trump and Secretary Noem are using every tool available to get criminal illegal aliens out of American communities and out of our country," DHS said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Etoria remains in Africa alongside the four others.

Micah Parsons' back issue might be something after all. 

While some viewed his "back tightness" designation at Dallas Cowboys camp as a way to mask the fact he didn’t have his desired long-term contract extension, the newest Green Bay Packers edge rusher reportedly might need an epidural to play this Sunday in his team debut against the Detroit Lions. 

Parsons is reportedly dealing with an L4/L5 facet joint sprain in his back, per ESPN, which could require an injection to play. 

The report adds that Parsons was prescribed a "five-day course of prednisone," which is an anti-inflammatory agent used to help with back tightness. He was also on a physical therapy program with the Cowboys until he was dealt this past Thursday for two first-round picks and All-Pro defensive tackle Kenny Clark.

Parsons, though, was seen at Packers practice on Monday, which was his first time participating anywhere this preseason after sitting out during his contract saga in Dallas. 

Parsons was considered a limited participant.

So, given Parsons’ status, it’s not entirely certain he will be available for his new team to start the 2025 NFL season. 

The Packers swooped in with an offer Cowboys owner Jerry Jones liked, and they got the deal that shocked the football world done on Thursday morning. While Jones defended trading away the four-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro edge rusher, the Packers made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in league history with a four-year, $188 million contract. 

Parsons’ $47 million per year on that deal blows the previous league-record deals given to Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett ($40 million) and Pittsburgh Steelers stud T.J. Watt ($41 million) earlier this offseason. 

Parsons’ arrival in Green Bay has his new teammates giddy to see what he can add to their defense. Left tackle Rasheed Walker, who was a Penn State teammate of Parsons during their college days, even believes the move has them Super Bowl bound. 

"I think it upped our chances by a lot," he said Monday, per ESPN. "We got a solid pass rush across the whole line. I don’t think no one’s gonna be able to throw the ball like that on us. It’s gonna open up opportunities for our DBs and our offense, so yeah, I feel like Micah’s gonna have a good presence on the field and it’s gonna really be advantageous to us."

The key is having Parsons available on the field. It’s early in the first game week of the season, but Parsons’ situation is worth monitoring as the week gets closer to the weekend and a highly anticipated debut for the newest Packers star.
