Report: Trump Administration May Deport Migrants Even if Home Countries Refuse Them
The Trump administration may reportedly deport migrants, even if their home countries refuse to accept them.
In the event of a migrant’s home country refusing to accept a deported person, three sources confirmed to NBC News that the Trump administration has reportedly been talking to Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, Panama, and Grenada as possible alternatives to receive them.
“It is not clear if the migrants would be allowed to legally remain to work and live in the countries to which they are deported,” noted NBC News. “It is also not known what kind of pressure — either economic or diplomatic — the Trump transition is applying to countries to get them to agree, or might apply once President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated in January.”
Trump had previously sent migrants, mainly asylum seekers, to Guatemala during his first term if their home country refused to receive them, until that policy was halted with the coronavirus pandemic. Though the ACLU and other immigrant groups sued over the policy, the lawsuit is still pending in federal court.
“Migrants who come from Venezuela, Cuba, China and other countries that are reluctant to accept back people who have emigrated to the United States have long posed an issue for U.S. authorities, who are barred by federal court orders from indefinitely detaining them,” explained NBC News. “As a result, many migrants from those countries end up released into the United States, even if a judge has ordered them deported.”
Trump, who has promised “the largest deportation operation in American history,” is also aiming to see if Mexico would receive non-Mexicans in the event of deportation, though Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has already said she only wishes to receive Mexican citizens. --->READ MORE HERE
Trump plans to deport illegal migrants to these other countries if their home nations reject them:
Donald Trump is mapping out where to deport migrants and illegal immigrants if their home countries refuse to accept them.
The list of countries the incoming administration is considering includes popular vacation destinations of Turks and Caicos, Panama, Grenada and the Bahamas, three sources familiar with the plans told NBC News.
One says the Trump transition team already reached out to all four countries to work out a deal to accept deportation flights from the U.S.
It's not clear where these countries stand on the matter and whether they would be open to negotiating a deal.
Trump vowed during the 2024 campaign to carry out the largest deportation effort in U.S. history in his second term.
He campaigned on fixing the southern border crisis, which has led to a series of issues in the U.S. including fentanyl and human trafficking and a record-number of illegal immigrants are living in the U.S. and taking up resources.
In 2022 it was estimated that 11 million undocumented immigrants were living in the U.S.
Critics of President Joe Biden's immigration and southern border policies claim that this number is dramatically higher than previously thought, with some claiming it could be as high as 20 million.
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) revealed this week that American taxpayers spent $150.7 billion on illegal immigrants in 2023 alone. --->READ MORE HERE
