Incoming Trump Administration Looks to Deport Migrants to Third-Party Countries

The incoming Trump administration is preparing a list of countries to which it may deport migrants if their home countries refuse to accept them, according to sources.

These countries include Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, Panama and Grenada.

If implemented, it could result in thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of migrants being displaced in countries where they do not know anybody, do not speak the language nor have any connection to the culture. It also remains unclear that if deported to those third-party countries whether those newly arrived migrants would be legally allowed to work and remain in those countries. It is also unknown what kind of pressure – either economic or diplomatic – is being applied to force those countries to agree to accept certain migrants once President-elect Trump’s term begins on January 20, 2025.

Migrants from Venezuela, Cuba, China, and other countries that have been reluctant to accept the return of people who departed for the United States have long posed an issue for U.S. immigration authorities who are barred by Federal Court orders from indefinitely detaining them. Thus, the plan to deport some migrants to third countries where they have no connection would be a way for the new Trump administration to work around legal impediments and create what Trump has promised to be “the largest deportation operation in American history”.

Some countries, however, such as Vietnam and the Philippines, have established treaties with the United States to repatriate its citizens back once a final order of deportation has been entered by an Immigration Judge.

According to sources, Trump also wants Mexico to accept non-Mexicans who are deported from the United States. In addition to accepting migrants who may be turned back at the border, which Mexico has already been doing, the incoming Trump administration has been reportedly pressuring Mexico to accept deportation flights of non-Mexicans living in the United States. However, the sources commented that convincing  Mexico to agree may not be easy and that Trump will use the threat of tariffs in an effort to force Mexico to comply.

“President Trump was given a mandate by the American people to secure the border. He will deliver” said Trump-Vance transition spokeswoman and incoming White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt.

Trump’s EO Ending Birthright Citizenship Dealt Another Setback by A Second Judge

President Donald Trump’s Executive Order (“EO”) ending birthright citizenship was dealt another setback after a second federal judge ordered an additional pause. Judge Deborah Boardman of the Federal District of Maryland issued a nationwide injunction against the EO commenting that no court in the country has endorsed the Trump administration’s interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment. Boardman’s ruling comes after Judge John Coughenour of Washington State ordered a temporary injunction after commenting that the EO “boggles the mind” and could not remember seeing a case that was more blatantly unconstitutional in more than 40 years on the bench as a federal judge.

USCIS Will No Longer Require Covid -19 Vaccinations For Adjustment Of Status Applicants

Effective January 22, 2025, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) will no longer require adjustment of status applicants to present proof of a COVID-19 vaccination as part of their Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record. The USCIS further commented that the agency will no longer issue Requests for Evidence or a Notice of Intent to Deny related to COVID-19 vaccinations. Applicants applying for immigrant visas at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate are still required to present COVID-19 vaccinations when undergoing a medical evaluation by a panel physician at a clinic licensed by the Centers of Disease Control. Immigrant visa applicants who are unable to present proof of a COVID-19 vaccination may be eligible for a waiver. For more information, contact us at info@enterlinepartners.com.

Federal Lawsuit Filed Immediately Following Trump’s Executive Order Ending Birthright Citizenship

Less than 2 hours after President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order (“EO”) attempting to end birthright citizenship, immigrant advocates started to file lawsuits in Federal Court attempting to block Trump’s Executive Order. The first lawsuit was filed in the U.S. Federal District Court of New Hampshire  on behalf of a group representing Indonesian migrants in the State. It was signed by a total of twenty-six (26) attorneys representing the American Civil Liberties Union, State Democracy Defends Fund, the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Endowment Fund, League of United Latin American Citizens and Make the Road New York as plaintiffs. Following New Hampshire, more than two dozen additional lawsuits were filed against the EO in Federal District Courts contending that the EO violates the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment, U.S. Supreme Court precedent since 1898 (United States v. Wong Kim Ark), as well as federal law which has been practiced
