United States: Strategic developments in Washington D.C.
Supreme Court allows Trump to deport immigrants to countries they have no ties to US senators accuse Trump of trying to interfere in Brazil's elections The US Supreme Court authorized, this Tuesday (29th), the government of President Donald Trump to resume the deportation of immigrants to countries different from their countries of origin. The decision allows deportations to occur without these individuals having the opportunity to present the risks they might face in the destination country beforehand. ✅ Follow g1's international news channel on WhatsApp The magistrates' decision temporarily suspends an order from a federal judge in Boston who had considered the government's policy illegal. The case will still be analyzed by the American justice system. More than 25,000 immigrants have been sent to 29 countries since the policy began to be applied, according to a survey by human rights organizations. Most were sent to Mexico. Other destinations include Uganda, Equatorial Guinea, Liberia, Central African Republic, and South Sudan. The measure is one of the actions taken by the Trump administration as part of its mass deportation policy. Immigration has been one of the Republican president's main priorities since his return to the White House. How it works The decision determines that the American government can send an immigrant to a third country if the government of that place guarantees that there will be no persecution or torture. When there is no such guarantee, the person must be informed about the destination. Authorities only analyze possible risks of persecution or torture if the immigrant themselves states they fear suffering such violence. Immigrant advocacy groups are challenging the measure in court. They claim that people should be notified and have the chance to present risks before being sent to another country.

However, the groups that filed the lawsuit claim that the policy also affects individuals who received legal protection against deportation to their countries of origin. According to the lawsuit's authors, some immigrants were sent back to the places they had left. This happened even after the US had determined that these individuals could not be returned to their countries of origin. The groups also claim that other deportees were assaulted, suffered sexual violence, were arrested, or disappeared. These allegations are contained in documents submitted to the court. UN experts criticize More than a dozen human rights experts from the United Nations called on Monday (28th) for the US to stop deportations to countries without ties to the immigrants. According to them, the policy increases the risk of abuse, persecution, and torture against immigrants. The experts said that children, women, people with disabilities, victims of human trafficking, LGBT people, human rights defenders, and stateless people are among the most vulnerable groups.
