The internal government documents received by CBS News show that the Trump administration has expanded its campaign to persuade countries around the world to assist in their cracks on illegal immigration by accepting the exile of the migrants who are not their own citizens.
Documents indicate that Uganda in East Africa recently agreed to accept the exiled from the US, who live from other countries on the continent, unless they have criminal history. It is unclear how much of Uganda is deported that will eventually accept under the system with the US government.
The Honduras government has also agreed to obtain deportation from other Spanish speaking countries in Latin America, which includes families traveling with children, showing documents. The Honduras government agreed to relatively exile – just several hundred – but documents indicate that it may decide to accept more.
Both agreements are based on a “safe third country” provision of the American Immigration Act, which allows the authorities to recreate refugees in countries who are not their own if the US government determines that they can impartly hear their claims for nation human protection.
The two bilateral deals mentioned in internal documents are part of a large -scale diplomatic effort, which the administration of President Trump has staged to arrange exile with nations in several continents, including people with problematic human rights records. The administration has argued that those agreements are important for its large -scale exile campaign, as there are some migrants that cannot be easily deported in their home countries due to stressful diplomatic relations or other reasons.
At least a dozen countries have already accepted or have agreed to accept the exile from other countries as the Trump administration has taken over, and American officials are aggressively aggressively aggressive. Internal government documents show that the Trump administration has asked countries like Ecuador and Spain to receive these so -called third country’s exile.
Representatives of the Homeland Security Department did not respond to the requests to comment on CBS News reporting.
“We do not comment on the content of private diplomatic dialogues, but the State Department is making every effort to support the President’s policy to protect Americans by removing illegal aliens,” said a senior State Department official, which has no right to be in the United States. “
Before this heat, Supreme Court Given green light to Trump administration To deport migrants in third countries with minimum degree notice and fixed process. The decision paved the way for the administration to continue expanding an exercise since the beginning of Mr. Trump’s second term.
In February, the Trump administration convinced Costa Rica and Panama to take several hundred African and Asian migrants who claimed asylum along the US-Maxico border. Then, in March, the US flew over 200 Venezuela people accused of membership of gang members in Al Salvador, where they were organized for months in a notorious jail until they returned to Venezuela last month Prisoner swap,
The administration has also sent guilty migrants of violent offenses and who shout for the small South African state of Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico, Laos, Myanmar, Yemen and other countries for the small South African state of South Sudan and Eswatini. Guatemala, Kosovo and Rwanda have announced that they will get exile from the US from other countries.
Last week, the State Department said that the US had signed a “safe third country” asylum agreement with Paraguay. Mexico, under an arrangement, which, before Mr. Trump’s second term, accepts the return of some Latin American migrants, who illegally crossed the US southern border.
Advocates of human rights strongly condemned the efforts of the Trump administration, saying that migrants can be sent to countries where they can be damaged or they could return to the location that they escaped. Some countries agreed to sign the exile agreements have been plagued by reports of human rights violations.
One in Report Continued last week, the Foreign Department described “arbitrary” arrests, disappearance and lack of action from the government to “arbitrary” arrests, disappearance and curb human rights violations, citing negative development in human rights in Uganda. The report also said that Uganda has worked with United Nations officials to provide human security to refugees.
The Doris Meesner, who now overseeing the de-de-delegation and naturalization service under the Clinton Administration, said the US government had faced prolonged difficulties in deporting some migrants due to diplomatic obstacles. But he said that efforts to send him to third countries were usually done only in “extraordinary” cases.
Meissner, who is now a senior partner in the Migration Policy Institute Think Tank, suggested that the Trump administration can employ various sources of ignition – such as the dangers and the danger of funds of visa restrictions and the danger of funding commitments – to celebrate as many countries as possible from other countries.
The scale is relatively limited due to exile in the third countries, the Meesner said that a major driver behind the diplomatic efforts of the Trump administration is a desire to illegally send a message of preventive to those in the US, which highlights the possibility that they can be sent to distant countries where they have no relations.
“Beyond that, the widespread reason is fear and intimidation and eventually, encouraging self exile,” he said.
