Donald Trump’s Deportation Obsession | The New Yorker

Three years ago, in El Salvador, after the MS-13 gang killed eighty-seven people within seventy-two hours, President Nayb called on the pro-Legislative Council to declare “the state of exception.” The government can arrest anyone who considered it suspicious, and those who have been seized their right to legal defense. Since then, in a country with a population of six million people, eighty -five thousand have been imprisoned, many without reliable fees; According to the Human Rights Group, Christosal died, three hundred and sixty eight of them died. The gangs have been destroyed, but the “exception state” is still valid, something that has been praised by an agent of Maga The movement, last week, is an invitation to the White House.
The Trump administration is now paying Al -Salvador six million dollars to contract migrants that have been deported – with them more than a hundred Venezuelan who were removed under the Law of Foreign Enemies, which are rarely protest in 1798 – in Supermax Prison in which Bukele was built for a campaign. He proudly announced his services as “the use of external sources.” It has also been offered the approval of American citizens convicted of crimes, and it appears that Donald Trump is considering this. “Sometimes they say that we were imprisoned thousands,” Bokley said to the president and members of his government in the Oval Office. “I would like to say that we have already liberated millions.” “Who gave him this line?” Trump said. “Do you think I can use it?”
The right -wing ideologies have long imagined the possibility of reporting the collective soul: the idea is that if the government is hostile to immigrants, they will feel that they have no choice but to leave the country. The Trump administration is trying more extreme. In a campaign that reminds us of the “exclusion state” of the agent, I moved to the suspension of the rule of law; This is an attack on immigrants as much as a dream of fever with an uncomfortable force.
At the White House, the Undersecretary and Trump boasts of challenging their unanimous judgment by the US Supreme Court. The judges had ordered the administration of “facilitation” of the return of Kilmar Abrago Garcia, a Silvadori man who lived in Maryland nearly fifteen years and was deported last month to the Prison of Bokil, due to what the government’s lawyers were “an administrative mistake.” Trump’s initial response was to say that he was unable to return Aberigo Garcia. A long time ago, senior officials began to describe him as MS-13 gangs and terrorist, although he never had a crime. Stephen Miller, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, confirmed that the court had ruled in favor of Trump and that “no person was mistakenly deported anywhere.” Last week, after Senator Chris van Holin, Maryland, traveled to El Salvador and met with Abugo Garcia, who was transferred to another facility, the agent said: “Now that he has been confirmed in good health, he has the honor to stay in the Sultadador reservation.” The White House tagged Van Hollen on X, saying that Abrego Garcia “is no longer.”
The hypothesis seems to be that only the president can decide whether a person’s legal rights are legal. Earlier this month, the administration began the process of canceling the numbers of social security for immigrants who were legally in the country. The Social Security Administration had already agreed to the participation of “recent well -known titles” for nearly one hundred thousand people with migration and customs enforcement, Times It was reported, but this last maneuver includes the addition of immigrants to the so -called “Death Master file”, a list of the available Americans. According to the government, the “financial life” of migrants – which can include assets such as homes and bank accounts – will be “completed”.
Shortly before the tax day, privacy laws that protect the personal information of taxpayers, the internal revenue service developed the completion of the “Memorandum of Understanding” with Ice “To exchange information for criminal enforcement, non -tax.” Trump’s Treasury Secretary, Scott Payette, signed, because the tax authority officials refused, according to CNN. Several resigned since then. Ice He said that she wants to locate and deport about seven million people. Unrepresented immigrants pay nearly a hundred billion dollars every year as taxes, but the administration’s move will definitely lead to a deposit. An analysis by the YALE Budget Laboratory estimated that the losses of the government could reach three hundred and thirteen billion dollars in the next decade.
Trump has never been deterred by man or the material consequences of his policies, as long as they sent a political message. During the presidency of Joe Biden, more than a million immigrants came to the United States through a legal path called conditional release, which gave them temporarily entry so that they could apply for a more permanent position. Trump has now tried to cancel the conditional release, drown them in a legal forgetfulness, and may create a new group of people who must become not documented. Many applied for asylum, but the Ministry of Internal Security has made arrests despite any pending legal claims. Most of the Venezuelan who sent to El Salvador were sessions prescribed to immigration judges; At least one has a temporary reserve case.
Permanent legal population is also targeted. Mahmoud Khalil, a graduate of the University of Colombia, is currently being held and faces deportation because the administration objected to his pro -Palestinians activity on the campus. The current Colombia student, Yunuso Chung, who lived in the United States since she was seven years old, was also identified for deportation and had to sue the administration to obtain a federal judge to temporarily prevent her. Last week, Mohsen Mahdawi, a university senior university and a student activist Ice When he came to meet his nationality; He held a green card for a contract.
When the judges challenged the authority of the agent, they released them. It is clear that Trump wants to do the same. He has already called for the isolation of James Pasperg, the federal judge who ordered the first deportation trips to El Salvador. On Wednesday, Boasberg announced that he had a “possible reason” to believe that officials have intentionally ignored this and could be held in the court’s contempt. Another judge, who issued a previous order to return Abrego Garcia, may start a similar process soon. On Thursday, the Court of Appeal in the fourth district sentenced Trump’s recent appeal in the case. “In some cases, it is difficult to reach the heart of the matter,” the judge wrote, who is appointed to Ronald Reagan. “But in this case, it is not difficult at all.” The administration looked designed to force the constitutional confrontation and has now succeeded. It threatens everyone, citizens and non -citizens alike. ♦
