U.S. Seeks Global Partners for Deportations Amid Controversial Campaign
The Trump administration's push for countries to accept deported individuals highlights international negotiations involving non-citizens amid global unrest.
In a sweeping initiative, U.S. diplomats are reaching out to numerous countries in Africa and Central Asia, soliciting them to accept deported individuals who do not hold citizenship in those nations. This strategy is part of a larger campaign by the Trump administration to manage the increasing number of deportations while navigating diplomatic relations globally, even with nations embroiled in conflict or with questionable human rights records.
A March 12 cable revealed that U.S. officials contacted nine various countries to take back deportees, highlighting a disturbing aspect of America's immigration policy. Countries such as Angola, Mongolia, and Ukraine are on the list, and some, including Costa Rica and Kosovo, have already agreed to accept a limited number of deportees. The U.S. has also reportedly compensated Rwanda with financial support to accept specific individuals.
The urgency of these discussions underscores the administration's willingness to engage with a range of partners, including nations with controversial human rights practices. While it has been reported that the U.S. attempted to deport individuals to war zones like Libya and South Sudan, a federal court intervention temporarily halted these plans.
As negotiations continue, the scope of this initiative reveals how the U.S. is actively seeking to offload its deportees, raising ethical questions about the treatment of those involved and the implications for international asylum responsibilities. The push indicates a controversial pivot towards enlisting global partners in managing deportations, with ongoing efforts to look for even more countries willing to participate in this initiative.
