Exile Agenda

The article focuses on the potential expansion of the Trump administration's policy of deporting undocumented immigrants to foreign countries. It argues that the administration is looking to designate more nations as "foreign penal colonies" where these individuals would be sent, even if they have no connection to those countries. The piece highlights concerns about the legal and ethical implications of such a policy, suggesting it could violate international law and human rights standards. It suggests that the aim is to circumvent due process protections and shift the burden of caring for these individuals onto other countries. The article also points to the administration's existing agreements with certain countries to accept deported individuals, highlighting the expansion of these agreements to include nations with whom the deportees have little to no ties. It emphasizes the potential for increased human rights abuses and the creation of a system where the US outsources its responsibilities for managing immigration and dealing with undocumented individuals. The article frames this policy as a dangerous escalation of anti-immigrant measures aimed at circumventing legal safeguards and externalizing the costs of immigration enforcement. find the original article here: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/05/07/bxai-m07.html
