The Trump administration has begun flying undocumented immigrants from the US to a military detention facility at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said on Tuesday.
Leavitt told Fox Business Network that at least two deportation flights were “under way”, but gave no further details.
Her comments, however, appeared to confirm reporting by the Wall Street Journal, citing an anonymous official with knowledge of the operation, that about a dozen immigrants were onboard one flight from Fort Bliss, Texas. The newspaper said an additional flight had departed on Monday.
CNN later reported one of the flights had “about nine or 10” people onboard who were detained in the US without valid immigration documents.
How are undocumented immigrants being deported usually handled? I’m assuming, unless the undocumented person gives ICE a country, they usually have no idea what an undocumented immigrant’s nationality is and the undocumented immigrant usually doesn’t want to give a country cuz they left for a reason.
So what was happening to deported undocumented immigrants before 2025?
definitely not an expert but i believe they’re allowed a trial and can apply for asylum if they’re scared to go back to their country. at guantanamo i do not believe they have that right.
Well they actually wait in Mexico now until their case is heard. Remain in Mexico policy started with Trump, Biden tried to get rid of it, but apparently courts stopped him.
