The incoming Trump administration is reportedly devising a plan to remove illegal migrants from the United States, even if their home countries refuse to accept them.
Illegal migrants that have been ordered deported by an immigration judge, but hail from a country that refuses to take them back, may be sent to Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, Grenada, Panama or possibly elsewhere once President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House, according to NBC News. Such a plan, which has yet to be confirmed by the transition team, could prove to be a game-changer in the president-elect’s promised goal of conducting the largest deportation initiative in U.S. history.
It’s not immediately clear if these illegal migrants would be allowed to remain and work in the countries in which they are deported, or what type of pressure Trump officials are applying to these host governments. A spokesperson for the Trump transition team did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Foreign governments that refuse to take back deportees have long frustrated federal immigration authorities in multiple administrations. In lieu of remaining in detention indefinitely, many of these individuals may simply be released back into the U.S., even if an immigration judge has ordered them to be removed.
Under the Biden administration, federal immigration authorities and major cities across the country experienced an unprecedented illegal immigration crisis. Management of this crisis was made more difficult when Venezuela, the second-highest source of illegal immigration into the U.S., stopped accepting deportation flights in February.
Nearly 8 million Venezuelans have fled the country under Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, a leftist authoritarian who has overseen rampant inflation, economic turmoil and political repression. Trump is reportedly being pushed to make a deal with Maduro’s government, which would involve them accepting deportees again in exchange for an easing of U.S. sanctions, but it’s not clear if the incoming president is receptive to such an idea.
In the past, the Chinese and Cuban governments have also proven uncooperative with deportation flights from the U.S. However, both countries have begun accepting more flights from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) once again.
During Trump’s first White House term, he secured safe third country agreements with El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, which were intended to keep asylum seekers at bay by forcing them to seek refuge in those countries first before applying in the U.S. However, the Biden administration suspended those deals immediately upon entering office — part of a massive unraveling of Trump-era immigration policies by President Joe Biden that helped spark the current southern border crisis.
Trump plans to enter office and begin to not only conduct the largest deportation program ever witnessed in U.S. history, but he has also vowed to resume border wall construction, end birthright citizenship for those born to illegal migrant parents, restart the travel ban and bring back the Remain in Mexico program — which kept asylum seekers waiting in Mexico while their claims were adjudicated in immigration court.
Is this before or after every single penny of foreign aid is withdrawn?
If the countries decide not to repatriate them, then send them to the country of the border that they crossed to get into the country (Mexico or Canada).
Give El Salvador literally billions of dollars to imprison the deportees. They have shown how to treat their gangs.
Send a couple planeloads to Afghanistan, let the word get out, and there will be many illegals that deport themselves.
Foreign aid is not a concern for Venezuela or Cuba.
Various very large USAF cargo planes are warming up. Emphasis is on a working cargo ramp being able to open at altitude in a steep climb over water.
Why not use them as prison laborers?
They can help build the wall between Alaska and the Yukon.
Is this before or after every single penny of foreign aid is withdrawn? BINGO!!!!
If they all start refusing, fine. All of this has happened because mexico facilitated it. Declare it hostile to the U.S., if not all out war. Then……
Dispatch the Air Force RED HORSE Unit, that can build a runway damn near anywhere. Pres Trump is gonna use the military. Load all the illegals on C130s & C17s and fly them to the airfield that was recently built in Southern Mexico. Give them an MRE, bottle of water and point them home.
A 12k’ out the back of a C-130 over the ocean is better...would eliminate re-entry.
Has anyone ever asked how that country is so safe now? He put MS13 in prison?
Any chance his prisons are empty with inmates being told to head north?
Sanctions are, though.
Tell all counties concerned that remittance will be cut off
Just dump them back across the Mexican border, at gunpoint if necessary. Let Mexico deal with them.
They along with domestic socialists allowed this to happen.
Can we deport democrats too?
At minimum, advise them before their release that if apprehended again they will be sent to Sheriff Joe-type tent city work camps.
I have a better plan. Fly them over the country and hand them a parachute
For every 100 "deportees", give them 95 parachutes.
We gave over $200 million in foreign aid to Venezuela in 2024.
We gave over $9 million in foreign aid to Cuba in 2024.
We gave over $110 million in foreign aid to Mexico in 2024.

Put a life preserver on them, toss them into fairly calm international waters, and telephone their country’s coast guard.

ARTICLE I, Section 8
UKRAINE/US DEFENSE TREATY
The government of Ukraine shall have the right to impress into its national defense service aliens in the United States ordered deported by the United States.
If Venezuela refuses to take their criminals back Trump should order the US Navy to blockade their coast and send their folks back via Caracas and use force if they try to stop that.
