Trump Strikes Facing Honduras and Uganda

The United States has concluded bilateral expulsion agreements in Honduras and Uganda as part of its repression of illegal immigration, according to documents obtained by the American partner of the BBC CBS.

Uganda has agreed to take an unclear number of African and Asian migrants who claimed asylum at the American-Mexican border, and Honduras will receive several hundred expelled people from Spanish-speaking countries, said CBS.

This decision is part of an attempt by Donald Trump’s administration to bring more countries to accept expelled migrants who are not their own citizens.

Human rights activists have condemned politics, saying that migrants are at risk of being sent to countries where they may be injured.

Under the agreement, Uganda agreed to accept the expelled migrants as long as they have no criminal history, but it is not known how much the country would take, CBS reported.

Honduras has agreed to receive migrants over two years, including families traveling with children, but the documents suggest that it could decide to accept more.

The two transactions are part of the wider thrust of the Trump administration for expulsion agreements with countries on several continents – including those with controversial human rights files.

Until now, at least a dozen nations have agreed to accept migrants expelled from other countries.

Last week, the United States Department of State announced that it had signed a “third -party country” agreement with Paraguay to “share the burden on illegal immigration management”.

The White House has also actively courted several African nations, with Rwanda, affirming earlier this month, it will take up to 250 migrants from the United States.

One condition of the agreement specifies that Rwanda would have “the ability to approve each individual proposed for resettlement,” a government spokesman for the BBC told the BBC.

Rwanda has already been criticized for its human rights file, including the risk that those who have sent to the East African Nation can be expelled again in countries where they could face a danger.

Earlier this year, Panama and Costa Rica agreed to take several hundred African and Asian migrants from the United States.

Government documents show that the Trump administration has also approached countries such as equator and Spain to receive expelled migrants, CBS reported.

Since the start of his second term, Trump has embarked on scanning efforts to eliminate undocumented migrants – a key electoral promise that attracted mass support during this campaign.

In June, the United States Supreme Court paved the way for Trump to reproduce the deportations of migrants to countries other than their homeland without giving them the opportunity to increase the risks they could face.

At the time, judges Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissident from the majority decision, calling for the “raw abuse” decision.

Experts in the Rights of the United Nations and human rights groups also argued that these moves to a nation which is not the place of origin of the migrant could violate international law.
