The United States is lining up more countries to take two deportees

It takes no less than two countries to achieve a deportation: one to send the two departments and one to receive them. The receiving state usually agrees to restore its citizens, but the Trump administration is developing other options.

The United States has sent hundreds of the two deportees, who seem to be mostly Venezuelans, to SalvadorWhere they are detained in The reputable maximum imprisonment of its brutality. The United States sent immigrants from Asia, the Middle East and Africa to Panama and Costa RicaIncluding families with young children.

Trump administration is also in Early talks with the Rwandan government To send a deportation to the country of Central Africa, and this month the United States has made plans The immigrants, Laotian, Vietnamese and the Filipinos, sent to Libya Before retreating against the court’s order. (Representatives of warring governments in Libya denied the conduct of any agreement to accept the deportees from the United States.)

It seems that the expansion of the deportation program in the third country of management has two goals in serving its comprehensive goal to remove millions of immigrants from the United States, including the administration by the administration, including the administration.

The first looks very tactically: it creates a process to remove immigrants whom the countries of origin do not want. Venezuela, for example, accepts only intermittent deportations from the United States.

The second goal, apparently, strategically: persuading immigrants, documented or otherwise, is that staying in the United States is so fraught with the extent that they must “decide the self”, fearing that they will end up in a brutal prison. It is a campaign designed to deter.

Takbeer, there is another way to consider this deportation: by establishing deportation agreements in the third country and claiming that they are protected from judicial review or supervision, the administration is trying to create an external global detention system where there are no rights in the legal procedures that are effectively due, one run by most authoritarian governments trying to prefer President Trump.

Mr. Trump and his allies photographed the deportation policies in the administration as necessary for national security. He has Doubts over the right to the obligatory legal proceduresAnd it is guaranteed in the constitution of the United States for citizens and non -citizens alike, if it impedes his campaign for collective deportation.

A harsh treatment in the third countries

Rwanda and Libya have spent years as a solution to the richer immigration problems in countries.

In 2022, Rwanda agreed to take asylum seekers from Britain for hundreds of millions of pounds. Between 2014 and 2017, thousands of Eritrean and Sudanese asylum seekers accepted Israel. Libya also received great assistance and other concessions from European countries in exchange for help It is forbidden Immigrants from reaching European soil.

But these plans did not go smoothly because there is a mountain that shows that Rwanda and Libya are not safe destinations for asylum seekers or other immigrants. American law prohibits the deportation of persons to countries where they are likely to face persecution or torture.

The British Rwanda plan collapsed After the court found it violating international humanitarian law, which prohibits sending refugees to the countries where they will face persecution. The court indicated that Rwanda has a record of the persecution of political opponents at home and abroad, and its courts rejected all asylum calls from people fleeing the conflict areas.

The British court also found that the refugees who were sent to Rwanda were at risk of deportation again to other countries where their safety cannot be guaranteed. The Israeli Supreme Court arrested the deportation to Rwanda after reaching a similar result in 2018.

Libya’s extremist violations of migrants were also documented. In the 2021 report, Amnesty International described the country’s “Helscape” migrants as adults and children have been exposed to sexual violence and other forms of abuse. In February this year, mass graves containing at least 93 bodies of immigrants in Libya were found, which led to calls to the European Union to freeze the financing of immigration to the security forces in the country.

For the Trump administration, the harsh treatment of detainees may be a more advantage than a mistake.

El Salvador boasted in cheerful videos about the humiliating and rampant circumstances in which the prisoners carry. Christie Nom, US Secretary of Homeland Security, who visited Al Salvador Terrorism Cabinet CenterKnown as Cecot, last month, was a similar point:

Legal abyss

Double state theory It describes a kind of tyranny in which the government maintains a natural legal system apparently with the creation of an area where people do not have real rights and can be exposed to unrestricted violence and coercion. Aziz Haqa, a law professor at the University of Chicago, described this as a “legal abyss”.

The worst suffering affects those who fall into that abyss, but it affects every person who lives under this system. The government that can push people to the abyss is not mainly restricted. The threat of pushing into the abyss can make freedoms unconfirmed and conditional.

In most dual states, the government runs the same legal abyss, inside its territory. But it seems that El Salvador, in itself, is a dual state, has been offered to the United States ‘legal abyss on the basis of a decade, and the prisoners’ prison in Cecot, a notorious prison where people are held in brutal conditions, are cut off from all contact with the external world and with some of the prospects for release.

The Trump administration has argued that the American courts have no jurisdiction over that deportation or the rights of the deportees who were sent to El Salvador.

The situation in Rwanda is less clear. If the deportees in the United States are treated similarly to those from Israel and Britain, they will not be imprisoned or detention. However, the decisions of the Israeli and British Supreme Court show that there is a reason for the belief that their rights may be violated in other ways and that they will only have little access to legal procedures if the government imprisoned them at the request of the Trump administration.

Libya appears to be likely to become the other legal abyss if it becomes a destination for us. Libya is a weak and warm country, not a dual state, as the recognized United Nations government in Tripoli in western Libya and another in Benghazi, led by a member of the war, is controlled by Khalifa Haftar, in the east.

For years, Libya has maintained a network of detention centers where there are no immigrants who do not have to resort to due legal procedures, and there are no job limits on the violence that detainees are subject to, including children. Human rights groups have described the circumstances as “horrific” and “influential”, and they worried that if the United States sends people there, the detainees will not have rights or a way to escape.
