>> It’s US law that prevents the deportation of “asylum seekers”.
The US has an agreement with Canada (safe third country) whereby asylum seekers must seek asylum in the first country they land in.
The goal, I believe, is to have such an agreement with Mexico. Thus, asylum seekers would have to apply for asylum in Mexico. They would be deported from the US.
Would it survive a court challenge? I don’t know. But the agreement with Canada hasn’t been struck down.
“The goal, I believe, is to have such an agreement with Mexico.”
That is already enshrined in International protocols and treaties.
Mexico is ALREADY SUPPOSED to be doing that.
