Why have Costa Rica and Panama agreed to take Asians deported by Trump? | Donald Trump News

President of the United States Donald TrumpThe Department of the Administration deported thousands of immigrants who have not held documents since they took office last month, in a campaign against critics that they violate the rights of immigrants in due legal procedures.
During his first month in office, the Trump administration deported 37,660 people, according to the data of the US Department of Internal Security, often to their country of origin, but sometimes to the third countries.
I accepted many Central American countries Deportation trips. While their citizens are the largest part of those who come from the United States, these countries have also allowed the Trump administration to send citizens from other Asian countries, including India, Pakistan and Iran. Last week, about 300 squares arrived in Panama and more than 100 arrived in Costa Rica, the two countries said. The United States has not released any official details about the number of flights and the number of accurate migrants.
But why does Trump send the departments to third countries instead of their countries of origin? And why do you accept these deported countries?
What are the third countries that accept deportation trips from the United States?
Last week, Panama became the first country to accept 119 positions from other countries.
Panic President Jose Raul Mulino said on February 13 that immigrants were countries including China, Uzbekistan, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Mulino said it was the first of three expected trips, and is expected to reach about 360 of these deportees to Panama.
Panama Security Minister Frank Abyerigo said on February 18 that 299 foreign deportations were detained in a hotel, indicating that more of the deportees arrived in Panama since the first trip decreased in the previous week. These immigrants were 10 countries, including Iran, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan and China.
At least 135 people, including children, from Uzbekistan, China, Afghanistan and Russia, arrived in the capital of Costa Rica, San Jose, on February 20.
The United States moved 177 Venezuelan immigrants from its military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba To Honduras on February 20. From there, the Venezuelan authorities enrolled it to the capital of Venezuela, Karacas, on the flag transport company.
Why does Trump deport people to third countries instead of their country of origin?
Experts offered multiple reasons.
“It is more rapid, limits access to the rights of the United States [for migrants]”She aims to send a message to potential asylum seekers and other immigrants not to attend,” Michel Mettalstadt, Director of Communications at the Immigration Policy Institute, told Al Jazerera.
Tania Gulch-Bouza, Executive Director of the University of California Center in Washington, said while she has not witnessed an official explanation for the reason for sending migrants to third countries, it is reasonable to assume that the Ministry of National Security (the Ministry of Internal Security) are doing so because their detention centers are full.
CBS News 38,521 data mentioned a bed, holding approximately 42,000 immigrants. In the midst of a rear increase in migratory arrests, ICE released some migrants early this month, CBS said.
Golash-Boza told Al-Jazeera that once immigrants leave American soil, they “lose access to any aspects of rights they may enjoy because of their presence in the United States.”
Mittelstadt explained that the deportees who were sent to the third countries have no protection under American law. She added that in the third countries, international protection standards may not be supported, “including non -repetition.” Not removing the principle of international law that prevents a state from sending an individual to a nation who escaped if this place is not safe for them.
When it comes to passing by countries that the United States does not have strong official diplomatic relations, Central American countries serve another purpose for the Trump administration.
“Trump uses Honduras, and he may use others, because the United States does not have decent relations with Venezuela, but Honduras does and between them,” Klaiv Stafford Smith, a human rights lawyer, told Al Jazerera.
ICE has already been martyred in countries including India, Pakistan and China as “unpredictable”, but Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was “completely ready” to restore illegal immigrants, during a visit at the White House in February.
According to Smith, there were 195 immigrants held in Guantanamo, 177 of whom were sent to Venezuela and one was sent to the United States, with 17 in the facility.
Smith told Al -Jazeera that the detainees in Guantanamo “have all legal rights [US] The population there, including the entire constitution and the right to an appropriate court. “
He recently said that the Trump administration was transporting people to the detention center to intimidate them.
He said: “It is the most famous torture prison in the world – as they will ultimately leave for departure and return to their countries of origin.” “The Trump administration is trying to get people out of Guantanamo before we have time to bring them into appropriate courts.”
During his first term between 2019 and 2020, Trump sent migrants on a trip to Guatemala, but this process was stopped by the Covid-19s. Many human rights organizations have opposed the status of migrants in countries where they had no connection.
The pro -migrant rights groups, including the American Civil Rights Union, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a lawsuit against Trump on this plan. Trump’s first term ended before the case was resolved and the case was suspended, while the Biden administration changed government policies.
Why did the third countries agreed to take the two deportees?
Analysts say that Central American countries have agreed to take foreigners under political and economic pressure from Trump.
Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chavez said that his country is helping his “strong economist from the north”, while he was talking to correspondents on Wednesday, in reference to the incompatibility in the authority that allows the United States to force young neighbors.
Pinmes also have I faced threats From Trump, who promised to get Panama channel, One of the most busy water channels in the world, which connects the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.
The deals were announced with Costa Rica and Panama earlier this month when US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was Go out Central American countries. Some observers believe that the two countries agreed after threatening definitions. Trump is already Disputed customs duties In China, Canada and Mexico, the customs tariff was used as a lever against others.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro initially responded to the threat of a revenge tariff, but he finally retreated and agreed to accept deportations. Colombia was smoking definitions.
Where will the deportees go from the third countries?
The deportees will be held in the third countries until their return to the homeland.
The deportees are held in Panama in rooms at the Decapolis Hotel in Panama, guarded by the police. Videos taken from outside the transparent windows showed some immigrants carrying signs saying “Help us” and “We are not safe in our country.” Others used hand gestures to indicate that they were deprived of their freedoms. On February 19, news appeared that a Chinese woman, Cheng Lejuan, escaped from the hotel and the police were looking for her.

The Panamanian authorities said that more than 40 percent of these immigrants do not want to return to their country of origin, pointing to security concerns from other reasons.
Panama Security Minister Abeergo said that 171 out of 299 passed on to return to their country of origin, and that at least 13 did so, according to the authorities.
Immigrants who refuse to return to their countries of origin are held in a camp in the remote province of Darren, which shares the border with Colombia. In a statement on February 19, the Ministry of Security in Panama said 97 of these immigrants had been transferred to Darren camp.
Migrants will be held in Costa Rica for up to six weeks in a rural holding facility near the border with Panama. They will be transferred later to their country of origin, according to Badla, Deputy Minister of Interior and Police in Costa Rica. The process will be funded by the United States.
“The countries that receive these returnees are facing great challenges in keeping and returning them, and there is no thinking in asylum in those countries,” said Mettstan from the Institute of Immigration Policy.
“While these countries are described as a” bridge “, in fact, they are a dead end for these returnees.”
