Bahamas setback: What’s Trump’s plan to expel migrants to third countries?

Al Jazeera  

Trump’s incoming administration wants to send immigrants to countries they have no links to, reports say.

Trump’s team has a list of countries to which they want to send deported immigrants if their home countries refuse to accept them, NBC News reported on Thursday, citing three unnamed sources. It is also not known “what kind of pressure — either economic or diplomatic” Trump will place on the third countries to accept the immigrants. “We sued over this type of policy during the first Trump administration because it was illegal and put asylum seekers at grave risk,” Lee Gelernt, a lawyer with the ACLU, told NBC.
