[00:00:03] the origin and soul of living traditions that define us as a
[00:00:06] region in a special program, join us
[00:00:10] to discover the heartbeat of our identity in
[00:00:12] Latin America, culture and devotion, hosted

[00:00:19] today only on Telesur.
[00:00:23] The world is constantly
[00:00:26] such as the one signed with moving and every day new events are generated, geopolitics
[00:00:29] is moving. Globally, we ask what is behind
[00:00:32] each event, what are the consequences and how they
[00:00:36] affect us. Faced with these questions, we will try to put the
[00:00:40] orders from point,
[00:00:45] model that penalizes Democratic states, only on Telesur.
[00:01:24] According to investigators from the US press, Donald Trump's second
[00:01:27] administration has marked a radical turning point in the
[00:01:31] history of US immigration policy, implementing a program of mass
[00:01:34] deportations and unprecedented
[00:01:36] it does not need state coercion.
[00:01:37] on Non-governmental organizations claim
[00:01:41] that under this administration, the application of immigration law has
[00:01:45] trampled on universal rights such as the Fourth and Fifth
[00:01:48] Amendments. The federal immigration apparatus has
[00:01:51] intensified raids and operations in workplaces, neighborhoods
[00:01:54] and courts.
[00:01:57] A report by the International Organization for Migration and the
[00:02:01] Brookings Institution warned of a generalized
[00:02:05] climate of institutional terror that disproportionately affects
[00:02:08] the Latino community. To these
[00:02:11] immigration policies that violate the human rights of thousands of migrants
[00:02:14] who have not committed any crime and have an ongoing
[00:02:18] immigration case, sanctuary states have created
[00:02:21] laws to protect these communities that are being
[00:02:24] harassed by officials of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement
[00:02:28] (ICE), which has
[00:02:30] subsidies, FEMA generated a clash with the federal government that intends not
[00:02:33] to respect local
[00:02:34] legislation.
[00:02:38] The human and social consequences of Donald Trump's immigration policy in
[00:02:42] his second administration have been profound. The kidnapping of
[00:02:46] parents without arrest warrants by Immigration and Customs
[00:02:50] Enforcement (ICE) has left thousands of US citizen children
[00:02:53] in a situation of extreme vulnerability due to forced
[00:02:57] which is the sending of family separation.
[00:03:00] In addition, the social and economic isolation of many people
[00:03:03] has increased, who, for fear of being intercepted or kidnapped by
[00:03:08] and violence to ICE, have restricted themselves from going out into the streets. Latino
[00:03:11] communities suffer a drastic limitation of basic public services,
[00:03:14] emergency medical care, and education, deepening poverty
[00:03:18] and structural marginalization. Faced with this problem of
[00:03:21] racial discrimination, persecution, and kidnapping by immigration
[00:03:25] agents, sanctuary states have denounced that the
[00:03:29] federal institution is violating the Fourth Amendment
[00:03:32] that protects a person against unreasonable searches or seizures
[00:03:35] because immigration and customs enforcement agents
[00:03:39] have resorted to kidnapping and subterfuge to capture
[00:03:43] immigrants from the streets without an arrest warrant issued by
[00:03:47] a judge.
[00:03:51] What has become clear in The number of people detained by ICE agents soared to over
[00:03:54] 65,700 by mid- July compared to 37,
[00:03:58] years ago and there was an increase of
[00:04:01] approximately 70%, according to data from the
[00:04:05] Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a research
[00:04:08] group at Syracuse University. Amidst the
[00:04:12] overflow of ICE detentions, anti-deportation and immigrant
[00:04:15] rights organizations, such as the American Civil Liberties
[00:04:19] Union, have denounced Immigration and Customs
[00:04:22] Enforcement agents for ignoring due process, forcibly detaining
[00:04:26] legal residents and citizens due to racial profiling
[00:04:30] errors and unleashing operations with fatal outcomes in
[00:04:34] Latino communities. Human rights are violated
[00:04:37] to the extent that several
[00:04:41] US laws are violated
[00:04:44] that precisely enshrine that
[00:04:48] defense. One of them is the Fourth Amendment, that no one
[00:04:51] can be detained
[00:04:54] for an excessive amount of time, beyond what the sentence is or what
[00:04:57] a judge decides, and if one pays
[00:05:00] a bond, for example, they must be released. The idea
[00:05:04] of ICE, of the immigration group,
[00:05:07] is to keep people illegally
[00:05:10] detained for
[00:05:12] longer than the law
[00:05:15] establishes, in cases where they have committed
[00:05:19] or been accused of some crime, these are
[00:05:22] violations of freedom, of the
[00:05:25] right to mobility, they are violations of human
[00:05:29] rights. Faced with this situation, sanctuary
[00:05:32] states such as California, New York, Illinois and New
[00:05:36] Jersey, as well as municipalities such as Los
[00:05:38] Angeles, Chicago and New York, have redesigned their
[00:05:42] internal regulations to protect their inhabitants, first,
[00:05:46] by prohibiting local police collaboration with ICE, that
[00:05:49] is, by denying compliance with administrative detention
[00:05:53] ICE that are not backed by a judicial order signed
[00:05:57] by a federal judge, second, complaints of
[00:06:00] abuses and constitutional violations through state
[00:06:03] attorneys general who have filed lawsuits
[00:06:06] stating that ICE's tactics of forcibly detaining
[00:06:10] people in courthouses, schools
[00:06:13] violate enshrined civil rights,
[00:06:16] because what we really see here is
[00:06:20] a war between
[00:06:22] the federal and state
[00:06:26] and municipal levels, right? Because there are
[00:06:29] state rights, there are municipal rights that really
[00:06:32] allow them to protect themselves against abuses by the federal
[00:06:36] government. Since the 80s, several
[00:06:39] cities around the country have opted
[00:06:43] to become sanctuary cities. They
[00:06:47] take measures to protect immigrant
[00:06:50] people against federal
[00:06:53] abuses. Obviously, the Trump administration
[00:06:57] prevents their efforts to deport
[00:07:00] all people who have
[00:07:04] any connection
[00:07:06] with another country, even if they are born in
[00:07:10] the United States today.
[00:07:12] So, that's why they are challenging them, but they are
[00:07:16] within their rights to decide what their
[00:07:19] local police, their health centers,
[00:07:23] etc., will do about
[00:07:26] how to treat their immigrant
[00:07:28] community. The coercive and economic
[00:07:32] retaliatory actions of the White House against sanctuary
[00:07:35] states and cities seek to condition and withhold vital
[00:07:39] federal funds such as transportation
[00:07:43] emergency funds, or public safety grants to subjugate
[00:07:47] them and force them to comply with federal directives.
[00:07:51] However, these sanctuary states have won legal
[00:07:54] challenges after arguing that the White House cannot
[00:07:57] use pre-existing federal funds as a financial
[00:08:01] bludgeon to politically blackmail state and
[00:08:04] local governments. An example of this type of lawsuit against the conditioning
[00:08:07] of FEMA and Department of Transportation funds was seen in
[00:08:11] California where federal directives were blocked, such as those
[00:08:15] issued against the transportation fund and the Federal Emergency
[00:08:18] Management Agency, which sought to economically punish
[00:08:22] the region for protecting the rights of immigrants.
[00:08:24] According to the National Immigration Forum,
[00:08:28] a non-profit organization in the United States that has been operating since
[00:08:32] 1982,
[00:08:35] various federal judges have issued preliminary court
[00:08:38] orders, and even rulings in favor of sanctuary states,
[00:08:42] determining that such financial sanctions are
[00:08:45] unconstitutional and exceed the authority of the executive
[00:08:48] branch. These policies tend to focus
[00:08:52] on restricting the application of immigration law in public
[00:08:55] spaces, limiting how local law enforcement can
[00:08:59] cooperate with federal immigration authorities, and prohibiting both
[00:09:02] local and federal agents from wearing masks
[00:09:06] or concealing their identity while on duty, which has led the
[00:09:10] federal government to question this, arguing that federal
[00:09:14] law prevails over state law.
[00:09:17] Well, the goals of the Donald Trump government are
[00:09:20] very clear. It's a white supremacist agenda,
[00:09:24] of dehumanization
[00:09:26] of the members of the American people who are
[00:09:30] migrants, whether they have citizenship or not,
[00:09:34] and they will use any tool
[00:09:38] they can to
[00:09:40] expel
[00:09:42] these members of our communities.
[00:09:46] Therefore, they use the supremacy clause
[00:09:49] of
[00:09:51] federal law, which states
[00:09:55] that federal laws take precedence over local
[00:09:59] laws. They are arguing that therefore
[00:10:03] they can do whatever they want without any
[00:10:06] intervention from
[00:10:09] state and local authorities, despite
[00:10:13] the abuses they are committing within their
[00:10:16] borders. This, obviously, is
[00:10:19] something that the states do not agree
[00:10:23] with, but they will use any tool
[00:10:27] they can to fulfill their
[00:10:29] xenophobic and genocidal
[00:10:33] goals. The lead attorney
[00:10:36] for the National Immigration Law Center, Cassandra
[00:10:40] Charles, has pointed out that the administration is misinterpreting the
[00:10:43] supremacy clause of the United States Constitution,
[00:10:47] because since the 80s there have been cities with
[00:10:50] sanctuary policies and that clause does not allow the
[00:10:54] federal government to dictate what laws
[00:10:57] states can pass. On the other hand, some states led by
[00:11:01] Democrats, fight to inspect federal immigrant
[00:11:04] detention centers, because the Trump administration maintains
[00:11:07] that states have no authority to regulate the
[00:11:11] facilities, causing a confrontation between federal and state
[00:11:15] power. So, it's a
[00:11:19] horrible violation and there have been many
[00:11:22] local struggles, even after the
[00:11:26] indigenous people in Florida and the
[00:11:29] expulsion of the Alcatraz alligator,
[00:11:32] as they called it, was thanks to an indigenous group
[00:11:36] there that protested that it was on their land,
[00:11:39] so there is a very strong movement against
[00:11:43] that capitalist migratory
[00:11:45] violence, but it is very powerful,
[00:11:49] it has a lot of money and the federal government has
[00:11:53] a lot of power to continue
[00:11:55] these abuses: according to statements and local
[00:11:59] news, sanctuary states have shown their concern about the
[00:12:03] conditions in federal immigrant detention centers, because
[00:12:06] there are reports of medical mistreatment, abuses, and
[00:12:10] negligence in these centers, in addition to pointing
[00:12:13] out that it is an obligation for states to supervise the quality
[00:12:17] of the water and food that is guaranteed in the centers.
[00:12:21] However, state health inspectors have been repeatedly
[00:12:24] denied access to the facilities where migrants
[00:12:27] are held, due to the fact
[00:12:31] that they are private prisons of the GEO Group, a company that
[00:12:33] manages about two dozen immigrant detention centers
[00:12:37] across the country. Well, the detention
[00:12:40] centers that are
[00:12:44] managed, well, that ICE uses, in
[00:12:47] many cases, in most cases are
[00:12:50] private corporations that manage
[00:12:53] these centers. It's an industry of
[00:12:57] billions of dollars for these
[00:13:01] companies and they
[00:13:04] are driven by capitalist logics, not humanitarian
[00:13:07] ones, that's why there is
[00:13:11] a joint effort between the
[00:13:14] government that has its white supremacist goals
[00:13:18] and those corporations that are eager to
[00:13:22] earn as much money as possible, which indicates
[00:13:26] that they will spend as little as possible on each inmate and
[00:13:30] use discipline
[00:13:33] maintain control in those
[00:13:36] situations, incarcerating people who have not
[00:13:39] committed any crime other than being in a
[00:13:43] country whose government does not want them.
[00:13:47] The Democratic Governor of Massachusetts, Maura Healey,
[00:13:50] signed a law in August of this year that empowers the state
[00:13:53] auditor to inspect immigrant detention centers and
[00:13:57] ensure that they comply with local health and safety
[00:14:00] standards. In June, the State of Colorado approved a
[00:14:03] measure that strengthens state and local
[00:14:07] health authorities to inspect immigrant
[00:14:10] detention centers, demonstrating that the struggle between federal
[00:14:14] and local
[00:14:15] power continues.

[00:17:20] The deportations of migrants to third countries against their
[00:17:23] will, makes them run the risk of their human rights being violated
[00:17:27] in the receiving countries, so states cannot
[00:17:30] contractually disregard their international legal
[00:17:34] obligations, in addition to committing human rights violations.
[00:17:38] The US government has treated people with cruelty. Many
[00:17:42] migrants have reported that when they are transferred to third countries,
[00:17:45] they are not told where they are going to be taken, and there are cases
[00:17:49] where they are received by nations that do not share their same
[00:17:52] culture, religion, and language, which makes it difficult
[00:17:55] to communicate properly. A US federal
[00:17:59] appeals court ruled in September that deportations
[00:18:02] to third countries are illegal because they violate
[00:18:06] the right to due process, and yet, deportations have not
[00:18:10] stopped after the Supreme Court authorized the
[00:18:13] resumption of these
[00:18:15] flights.
[00:18:19] Investigative reports from the US news agency The New York
[00:18:22] Times, have revealed that presumably the Trump
[00:18:25] administration has used financial and diplomatic pressure
[00:18:28] tactics, using coercion and blackmail to
[00:18:32] force vulnerable nations to accept deported migrants
[00:18:35] from the United States.
[00:18:38] From February 2025 to September
[00:18:41] 2026, the US government has expanded its immigration
[00:18:44] policy, deporting more than 23,000 people from its
[00:18:48] territory, to more than 30 countries that have signed secret
[00:18:52] agreements to receive migrants who have no
[00:18:55] ties or relationship with these receiving
[00:18:58] nations.
[00:19:01] But also, there is the issue that they are deported to
[00:19:04] third countries, to countries they do not
[00:19:08] know, countries that may be at war, without them
[00:19:12] having had any possibility of
[00:19:15] appealing, and
[00:19:18] the danger they run, being in many cases
[00:19:22] asylum seekers or asylum recipients
[00:19:24] for humanitarian or political reasons
[00:19:27] or whatever, they run the
[00:19:30] risk of being deported to countries that
[00:19:33] since World War II established that no one can be
[00:19:37] returned to a country where they may suffer torture,
[00:19:40] imprisonment or
[00:19:43] murder. Among the countries that agreed to receive people
[00:19:47] deported from the United States, are 12
[00:19:50] African states that have received people from third
[00:19:53] countries. These countries are Cape Verde, Cameroon,
[00:19:57] Eswatini, Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, Liberia,
[00:20:01] Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic,
[00:20:05] Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Sudan. and Uganda.
[00:20:08] Also in the American continent several countries signed
[00:20:12] similar agreements with Washington, including Antigua
[00:20:15] and Barbuda, Belize, Costa Rica,
[00:20:17] Dominica, Ecuador, El Salvador,
[00:20:21] Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras,
[00:20:24] Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay,
[00:20:27] Dominican Republic, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Saint
[00:20:30] Lucia. According to internal
[00:20:34] documents examined by The Washington Post, the Trump Administration
[00:20:37] pledged to provide $410 million to close
[00:20:41] deportation agreements with 35 countries, almost a
[00:20:44] third of them are African. The same source has indicated that the United
[00:20:48] States reserved $30 million to support UN
[00:20:52] operations in Cameroon, in exchange for the country
[00:20:55] accepting 1 migrants. In addition, the
[00:20:58] Democratic Republic of Congo was promised
[00:21:00] $75 million for UN operations,
[00:21:03] in exchange for hosting 20 migrants.
[00:21:07] Other investigations by US news agencies have
[00:21:11] reported other agreements where economic compensation is guaranteed,
[00:21:16] the government of Eswatini, where it agreed to accept
[00:21:20] 160 people from third countries expelled from the United
[00:21:24] States in exchange for $5.1 million US
[00:21:27] dollars. I believe there are
[00:21:30] two responsible parties, the main responsible party, the
[00:21:34] main violator is the one
[00:21:37] who pays, which are the United
[00:21:40] States, and the accomplices are the countries that
[00:21:44] accept to be recipients of this
[00:21:48] type of people
[00:21:51] who have no reason to be sent to those
[00:21:55] countries, but all this is also done
[00:21:58] in exchange for money, governments rent their
[00:22:02] territory as a warehouse, as a
[00:22:06] warehouse for human beings, this is a
[00:22:09] form of regression to ancient colonial forms
[00:22:13] in reverse, before they took from
[00:22:16] Africa to send to work as
[00:22:20] slaves elsewhere and now they do it the other way around, what Washington
[00:22:23] does not want, what in terms of labor
[00:22:27] from people, they send them to peripheral
[00:22:30] countries. The current administration led by the Prime
[00:22:33] Minister of Jamaica, Andrew Holness, decided to receive
[00:22:37] migrants and on October 13, the country received the first
[00:22:40] flight of deportees from the United
[00:22:43] States. The arrival of the flight marks the operational start of a
[00:22:47] bilateral memorandum of understanding signed this
[00:22:50] year between Washington and Kingston. Under
[00:22:53] the agreement, non-Jamaican migrants will be transported
[00:22:57] by air to their countries of origin or to another country that is not their
[00:23:00] origin, which has generated media controversy because
[00:23:04] returning people to a country that is not their own
[00:23:08] can endanger their safety, in addition to being able to suffer
[00:23:11] cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment,
[00:23:14] as happened with 252 Venezuelan migrants who were
[00:23:18] held in the Salvador prison.
[00:23:22] The first flight, the first plane that takes
[00:23:26] these people is only the beginning,
[00:23:30] the third country functions as a kind of rather
[00:23:34] macabre waiting room, by the way, for a
[00:23:38] return that international law
[00:23:40] prohibits, which is the and that
[00:23:44] it also prohibits directly,
[00:23:47] people to the country
[00:23:50] in which it has been decreed, it has been
[00:23:53] verified that they can be persecuted,
[00:23:56] imprisoned, as we said, tortured, their life can
[00:24:00] be in danger, so it is a
[00:24:02] violation that is open
[00:24:06] to established rights, for
[00:24:09] people who have also not committed any crime, that
[00:24:13] is, being undocumented in the United
[00:24:16] States is not a
[00:24:20] crime, it is an administrative
[00:24:23] offense. The US government terrorizes
[00:24:27] migrants, forcing them to flee out of fear. Mass
[00:24:30] detentions and illegal expulsions separate
[00:24:33] families, generate trauma, and consume billions
[00:24:36] of taxpayer dollars.
[00:24:41] surveys over the last year is that
[00:24:44] within many communities that previously
[00:24:48] supported Trump, now reject him
[00:24:51] precisely because of his immigration policies. This is
[00:24:55] particularly visible within Latino
[00:24:58] communities and can have a big impact in
[00:25:02] states like Texas,
[00:25:05] Florida, Arizona, and Colorado
[00:25:09] where many of the Latino people who voted for Trump
[00:25:13] initially now, both because of
[00:25:17] his economic policies and
[00:25:20] because of the fact that he has been hunting and
[00:25:23] deporting their family members, whether or not
[00:25:27] they have a legal right to be here,
[00:25:30] no longer want to vote for Republican
[00:25:34] candidates in their area, and of course, the rest of the
[00:25:38] country, non-migrants or non-Latinos
[00:25:41] are also experiencing, well, it is such
[00:25:45] a serious and obvious violation
[00:25:49] of the human rights of all
[00:25:52] people, that they are occupying, militarizing
[00:25:56] entire cities with the aim of deporting community
[00:26:00] members and are threatening
[00:26:02] everyone, the entire population, that has caused
[00:26:06] a great rejection
[00:26:07] as well.
[00:26:10] Sanctuary states have denounced that the federal government
[00:26:14] along with ICE are violating the Fourth and Fifth Amendments
[00:26:18] which establish that no person can be deprived of life,
[00:26:21] liberty, or property without due legal
[00:26:24] process. However, the Trump administration has sent
[00:26:28] hundreds of men to third countries against their will and without
[00:26:32] respecting possible migratory processes they may
[00:26:34] be facing, according to analysts, this policy.
[00:26:38] The anti-immigrant stance of the Republicans could cost them in the upcoming midterm elections
[00:26:41] on November 3rd. What is at stake is not just immigration policy, but the
[00:26:47] especially sanctuary states that do not submit to the decisions and
[00:26:51] needs imposed by it. This brings us to
[00:26:54] the end of this broadcast of
