Summary
The incoming Trump administration plans to deport migrants to third-party countries, such as Turks and Caicos, Panama, and the Bahamas, when their home countries refuse to accept them.
This could leave thousands displaced in unfamiliar regions without legal guarantees or cultural ties.
The policy builds on similar actions during Trump’s first term and aims to expedite deportations within a week of arrest. Mexico is also being pressured to accept non-Mexican deportees.
Critics, including the ACLU, call the policy illegal and dangerous, citing risks to migrants’ safety and rights.
Isn’t that just human trafficking at that point?
It already was when they did it state to state…
Yeah I mean it’s human trafficking one way or the other. Forced mass displacement. It doesn’t usually end well for those being forcefully displaced. The mass displacement of Armenians was a central part of how the Armenian genocide took place.
Definitely a crime against humanity.
