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.
The last Conservative government in the UK tried something very similar. They paid Rwanda to take illegal immigrants. It turned into a complete disaster, ruffled with logistical, legal, and cost issues.
But I’m sure this new program by the Trump administration will go just fine! /s
No, they paid Rwanda to take asylum seekers, who, by definition in international treaties that the UK signed, are legal immigrants, regardless of how they entered the UK, until their cases are adjudicated. Conservative cabinet ministers relentlessly lied about asylum seekers in their attempts to scapegoat them. Most of the £100M spend on the scheme went into the pockets of Rwandan officials.
At least the forking iceholes managed to make the city park a success 🤷
This means selling slaves btw
How would that work ?

In this case, their own countries are more to blame than US.
