Trump administration defends its plan to expel asylum seekers to Mexico

The Trump administration’s lawyers called on the federal appeals court to adhere to their policies by sending migrants back to Mexico to await hearings there for asylum in the United States. Reports about it The Washington Post.

The summary, filed with the US Court of Appeals for the 9 District of California, is directed against lawyers who claimed that migrants were robbed, raped, or kidnapped when they were in Mexico.

Government lawyers wrote in court documents that lawyers should not be allowed to “overestimate” the “choice of policy and rational judgments” of the Department of Homeland Security to resolve the humanitarian crisis at the border.

Justice Department lawyers wrote that this policy is “part of ongoing, sensitive negotiations” with Mexico regarding immigration controls. Their statement came the day after the Trump administration expanded its Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) policy, also known as “Expect in mexico, On Tamaulipas, one of the most dangerous states of Mexico.

The MPP policy is of great importance to the administration, which considers it “one of the few available” to reduce the record number of families crossing the southern border of the United States.

Arrests fell 28 percent in June after Mexico tightened enforcement of the law and agreed to accept more migrants, a move that followed President Trump's threats to impose tariffs on their exports.

US authorities said more than 15 000 migrants were sent to Mexico awaiting court hearings.

What is dangerous in Mexico

One asylum seeker was separated from his pregnant common-law wife, and he had to return to Mexico. Although both of them were kidnapped by people from the Zetas cartel while traveling through Mexico for ransom. He is now in Ciudad Juarez and is afraid to leave the house.

A Honduran woman said federal police kidnapped her and forced her into a black car with gray tape covering her eyes. “Her captors raped her repeatedly and then demanded ransom,” her lawyers wrote in federal court documents.

Asylum officers, human rights organizations, and former federal employees expressed concern about the MPP.

Immigrant lawyers say the Trump administration violates federal and international laws by throwing immigrants into Mexican cities with high crime rates. The publication writes that some immigrants received death threats.

The American Civil Liberties Union and other groups called on the appeals court to schedule an urgent hearing to determine the future of the program.

A federal judge in San Francisco initially stopped the program, but in May the board of appeals courts of three judges resumed its work.

Michael Breen, president of Human Rights First, who led the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan as a military officer, told the Subcommittee on Supervision and Reform of the House of Representatives that MPP threatens families and reflects “deliberate cruelty to children.”

“This is not just about the integrity of our borders, but the integrity of our nation,” Breen said.

The US is negotiating with countries in the region about a plan that will help them to deport immigrants to a safe country after fleeing their own.

For example, Guatemalans may be deported to Mexico. The US authorities said they were still considering this option, which could supplement the MPP or replace it if the court blocks this policy.
