Washington – Carrying out mass deportations was a key cry during the Donald Trump campaign for the presidency. From the day he was a jury in office, his administration has focused on how to make that reality of shouts come true.
They have promoted their policy of chasing “the worst of the worst”, that is, people who have committed crimes in the United States, while supporting some nations to bring migrants to whom the United States has difficulty deporting their own countries.
They have eliminated the protections of hundreds of thousands of people that the Biden Administration temporarily admitted in the country with the objective of eventually making them deportable.
Here is a look at the strategies that the Trump administration is using, how people are addressed for deportation and some of the challenges found:
Immigration application officials have repeatedly portrayed their initial efforts such as persecuting people who describe as “the worst of the worst.” Those are people who represent threats of public security or national security, people who have been arrested or convicted of committing crimes in the United States or that ice determines that they are gang members.
In their food on social networks, they published a constant flow of photos of people arrested for ice and crimes that were supposedly committed.
The previous administrations have also prioritized people who are considered public security threats so that the strategy is not necessarily new.
What is different under the Trump administration is that ICE agents now have authority to arrest other people who find immigration violations when they pursue “the worst of the worst.” These are called “Collateral arrests” and were not allowed under the Biden administration. As described by an ice agent: “No one receives a free pass.”
Immigration compliance officials have long complained about countries that do not recover their citizens when the United States has determined that they can be deported.
Some countries do not recover any of their citizens. Others are selective, especially when it comes to people with criminal convictions or who have committed particularly atrocious crimes. And according to a ruling of the 2001 Supreme Court, ICE cannot retain someone for more than six months if there are no reasonable possibilities of waiting for them to be sent back to their country of origin.
Historically, that has meant that immigration application officials have had to free people to the United States to deport but cannot.
To avoid this problem, the Trump administration has supported other countries to accept people who are not their own citizens. The highest profile of these agreements was announced in February by the United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, during a trip to El Salvador. That country has taken Venezuelans that the United States alleges that they are gang members and keeps them in a noticeable prison.
Costa Rica and Panama have also taken citizens who are not his, although they were not imprisoned. Many of them have gone home or moved to third countries.
Outside those three Central American nations, the Trump administration has said that it is exploring other third countries for deportations. More recently there have been indications that the United States may be trying to send People to Libya either South Sudan.
The Trump administration is trying to remove protections from hundreds of thousands of people admitted in the United States temporarily during the Biden administration. This could eventually make these people subject to deportation.
The administration of the Democratic president admitted almost 1.5 million people through two key programs that use a legal tool known as humanitarian probation to admit people to the country.
Separately, the Biden administration also drastically expanded the number of people who were protected from deportation by a temporary protected state. That is a designation that allows people who already live in the United States to remain and work legally for up to 18 months if their homelands are not safe due to civil disasters or natural disasters.
The Trump administration is moving aggressively to eliminate or finish all those protections. If you succeed, and much of these efforts are litigating, you could open hundreds of thousands of people to be eliminated.
There are millions of people in the country that illegally include around 1.1 million with final removal orders, but only about 6,000 deportation officers. Those are the officers responsible for finding, arresting and eliminating people who have no right to be in the country.
So, in addition to actively trying to find and eliminate people, the Trump administration wants people to voluntarily.
Through the aggressive social networks and television campaigns, they illegally encourage people in the country to go home, saying that otherwise they could face fines and are never allowed to return to the United States.
They are also offering $ 1,000 and Air rate to people who self -test.
Earlier this week, the National Security Department promoted the first flight of people who assumed that offer to return to Honduras.
