The church suffering on african lands

They aren't being targeted or "persecuted" for being Christians (or any other religion). It does say the government flagged them as being "subjects of national security interest". Whether we like it or not, governments have a right to decide who enters and stays in the country, particularly people from another country that has decided to be at war with that country for decades.

In this country, though, there's something called due process. You have the right to challenge charges people make against you.

If the government can just make up charges and disappear people, we are all at risk.

There is due process for immigration violations. Do you have any evidence it was denied to these people? They were not "charged" with anything, because there are no charges in immigration removal proceedings; immigration proceedings aren't criminal proceedings, and deportation isn't a punishment.

deportation isn't a punishment

I suggest you watch the video again and try to understand the pain being experienced.

Legally, it’s not a punishment. It’s a analogous to your car being towed because its plates are expired.
