The new Trump administration is preparing a list of countries where it can deport migrants if their home countries refuse to accept them
– the publication writes.
These countries include, but are not limited to, the Turks and Caicos Islands, The Bahamas, Panama, and Grenada. Sources of the publication note that the Trump team has already contacted these countries to work out an agreement under which they will agree to accept flights for deportation from the United States.
These plans could mean that thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of migrants will be permanently displaced to countries where they know neither the people nor the language, and have nothing to do with culture. It is unclear whether migrants will be allowed to legally stay to work and live in the countries where they are being deported. It is also unknown what pressure – economic or diplomatic-The Trump administration is applying to countries to force them to agree, or what pressure may be applied after the inauguration of newly elected President Donald Trump in January
– adds the publication.
The publication recalls that in 2019, during Trump's first term, he sent migrants to Guatemala as part of an agreement with this country to accept people from other countries seeking asylum in the United States.
According to this policy, asylum seekers who recently crossed the United States were put on a plane to Guatemala, not knowing where they were going. This practice continued until early 2020, albeit on a relatively small scale, and was discontinued during the pandemic.
