00:00:31Let's learn the stories of those who live between
00:00:33borders,
00:00:37every Thursday only on Telesur.
00:01:19According to researchers from the American press, Donald Trump's second
00:01:22administration has marked a radical turning point in the
00:01:26is guaranteed, such as history of U.S. immigration policy, implementing
00:01:30a program of mass deportations and unprecedented state
00:01:33coercion. Non-governmental organizations
00:01:36assure that under this administration, the enforcement of
00:01:39immigration law has trampled universal rights such as the Fourth and
00:01:42Fifth Amendments. The federal immigration apparatus has
00:01:46intensified raids and operations in workplaces,
00:01:50neighborhoods and courts.
00:01:53A report by the International Organization for Migration and the
00:01:56Brookings Institution warned about a generalized climate
00:02:00of institutional terror that disproportionately affects the
00:02:03Latino community. To these
00:02:06immigration policies that violate the human rights of thousands of migrants
00:02:09who have not committed any crime and have an immigration
00:02:13case in process, sanctuary states have created
00:02:16laws to protect these communities that are being
00:02:19harassed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
00:02:23officials, which has
00:02:25subsidies, FEMA emergency generated a clash with the federal power that intends not to
00:02:28respect local
00:02:30legislations.
00:02:33The human and social consequences of
00:02:37want, what it does not Donald Trump's immigration policy in his second administration have been
00:02:39profound: the kidnapping of fathers and mothers without arrest
00:02:43warrants by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has left
00:02:47thousands of American citizen children in a
00:02:50situation of extreme vulnerability due to forced
00:02:53family separation. In addition, the social and economic
00:02:57isolation of many people has increased because of fear
00:03:00of being intercepted or kidnapped
00:03:03violence to maintain by ICE, they have restricted themselves from going out into the streets.
00:03:06Latino communities suffer from a drastic limitation of basic public
00:03:10multipolar world. The new era of services, emergency medical care and education, deepening
00:03:13poverty and structural marginalization. Faced with this
00:03:17problem of racial discrimination, persecution and kidnapping by
00:03:20immigration agents, Sanctuary States have denounced that the
00:03:24federal institution is violating the Fourth Amendment that
00:03:27protects a person against unreasonable searches or
00:03:31seizures due to the fact that immigration and customs enforcement
00:03:34agents have resorted to kidnapping and subterfuge to capture
00:03:38immigrants from the streets without an arrest warrant issued
00:03:42by a judge.
00:03:46The number of people detained by ICE agents soared to more than
00:03:4965,700 by mid- July compared to
00:03:5337 two years ago and there was an increase of
00:03:56approximately 70%, according to data from the
00:04:00Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a research group
00:04:03at Syracuse University. Amidst the
00:04:07overflow of ICE detentions, anti-deportation
00:04:10and immigrant rights defense organizations, such as the
00:04:14American Civil Liberties Union, have denounced Immigration
00:04:17and Customs Enforcement agents for ignoring due
00:04:21process, forcibly detaining legal residents and citizens due
00:04:24to racial profiling errors, and unleashing operations
00:04:28with fatal outcomes.
00:04:32Human rights are violated to the extent
00:04:35that several U.S. laws that
00:04:39precisely enshrine that
00:04:43defense are violated. One of them is the Fourth Amendment that
00:04:47no one can be detained for an excessive
00:04:51What has become clear amount of time beyond what the sentence or a judge decides, and if
00:04:54one pays bail, for example, they have to be released. The
00:04:58idea of the immigration group
00:05:02is to keep people illegally
00:05:06detained for longer
00:05:09than the law establishes in cases
00:05:12where they have committed or been accused of some
00:05:16crime. These are violations of
00:05:18liberty, of the right to
00:05:21mobility, they are violations of human
00:05:24rights. Faced with this situation, sanctuary
00:05:27states such as California, New York, Illinois and New
00:05:31Jersey, in addition to municipalities such as Los
00:05:34Angeles, Chicago and New York, have redesigned their
00:05:37internal regulations to protect their inhabitants, first by
00:05:41prohibiting local police collaboration with ICE,
00:05:44that is, refusing to comply with administrative
00:05:47detention orders from ICE that are not backed by
00:05:50a judicial order signed by a federal judge.
00:05:54Second, complaints of abuses and constitutional
00:05:56violations through state attorneys general,
00:05:59who have filed lawsuits stating that ICE's tactics,
00:06:03by forcibly detaining people in courts, schools and hospitals,
00:06:07violate enshrined civil rights.
00:06:09Well, really what we see here is
00:06:13a war
00:06:17between federal
00:06:19and state and municipal, right? Because
00:06:23there are state rights, there are municipal
00:06:26rights that really allow them to protect
00:06:29themselves against abuses by the federal government. Since the
00:06:3380s, several cities around the country
00:06:36have chosen to become sanctuary
00:06:40cities. They take measures to protect
00:06:44immigrants against federal abuses.
00:06:47Obviously, the Trump administration, this
00:06:51prevents their efforts to deport all
00:06:55people who have any
00:06:59connection to another
00:07:01country, even if they were born in the
00:07:05United States currently.
00:07:07So that's why they are challenging them, but they
00:07:11are within their rights to decide
00:07:14what their local police, their health
00:07:18centers, etc., will do about
00:07:21how to treat their
00:07:23immigrant community. The coercive actions and economic
00:07:27reprisals by the White House against sanctuary states
00:07:30and cities seek to condition and withhold vital
00:07:34federal funds such as transportation
00:07:38funds, or public safety grants to subdue them
00:07:41and force them to comply with the directives. However,
00:07:45these sanctuary states have won legal appeals after
00:07:49arguing that the White House cannot use pre-existing
00:07:52federal funds as a financial club to politically
00:07:56chantajear políticamente a los gobiernos estatales y
00:07:59example of this type of lawsuit against the conditioning
00:08:03of FEMA funds and the Department of Transportation was seen in
00:08:06California where federal directives such as those
00:08:10issued against the transportation fund and the Federal Emergency
00:08:13Management Agency that sought to economically punish
00:08:17the region for protecting the rights of
00:08:20immigrants were blocked. According to the National Immigration Forum,
00:08:24Forum Together, a non-profit organization in the United
00:08:28States that has been operating since 1982,
00:08:30various federal judges have issued preliminary judicial
00:08:34orders, including rulings in favor of Sanctuary
00:08:37States, determining that such financial sanctions are
00:08:40unconstitutional and exceed the authority of the executive
00:08:43branch. These policies tend to focus
00:08:47on restricting the enforcement of immigration law in public
00:08:50spaces, limiting how local law enforcement can cooperate
00:08:54with federal immigration authorities and prohibiting both local
00:08:58and federal agents from wearing masks or concealing their
00:09:01identity while on duty, which the federal government
00:09:05has questioned, arguing that federal law prevails
00:09:08over state law. Well, the aims of
00:09:12Donald Trump's government are very
00:09:16clear, it is a white supremacist
00:09:18agenda, dehumanizing
00:09:22members of the American people who are
00:09:26migrants, whether they have citizenship or not,
00:09:29and they will use any tool
00:09:33they can to expel
00:09:36these members of our
00:09:39communities. Therefore, they use the
00:09:43supremacy clause which
00:09:46states that federal laws
00:09:50have priority over local
00:09:54laws. They are arguing that therefore
00:09:58they can do whatever they want without
00:10:01any intervention from state
00:10:05and local authorities, despite
00:10:08the abuses they are committing within their
00:10:11borders. This, of course, is
00:10:14something that states do not agree
00:10:18with, but they will use any tool
00:10:22they can to achieve their goals,
00:10:25which are really xenophobic
00:10:28and with genocidal logic. The lead
00:10:31attorney for the National Immigration Law Center, Cassandra
00:10:35Charles, has pointed out that the administration is misinterpreting
00:10:39the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution,
00:10:42because since the 80s there have been cities
00:10:45with sanctuary policies and that clause does not allow the
00:10:49federal government to dictate what laws states can
00:10:52pass. On the other hand, some states
00:10:56led by Democrats are fighting to inspect
00:10:59federal immigrant detention centers, because the Trump
00:11:03administration maintains that states do not have the
00:11:06authority to regulate the facilities, causing a confrontation between federal and
00:11:10state power. So, it's a horrible
00:11:14violation and there have been many
00:11:17local struggles, even by indigenous peoples in
00:11:21Florida, the expulsion of the
00:11:25Alcatraz, alligator Alcatraz, as they
00:11:27called it, was thanks to an indigenous group
00:11:31there that was protesting that it was on their
00:11:34land. So there is a very strong movement against
00:11:38this capitalist migratory violence,
00:11:41but it is very powerful, it has
00:11:45a lot of money and the federal government has
00:11:48a lot of power to continue these abuses.
00:11:52According to local statements and news, sanctuary
00:11:56states have demonstrated their concern about the conditions
00:11:59in federal immigrant detention centers, due
00:12:02to reports of medical mistreatment, abuse and
00:12:05negligence in these centers, in addition to pointing
00:12:08out that it is an obligation for states to supervise the
00:12:12quality of water and food provided in the centers.
00:12:16However, state health inspectors have been repeatedly denied
00:12:19access to the facilities where migrants are
00:12:23held, due to the fact that they are private
00:12:27prisons of the Geo Group, a company that manages
00:12:30about two dozen immigrant detention centers throughout
00:12:33the country. Well, the detention centers
00:12:37that are managed, well, that
00:12:41ICE uses, in many cases, in most
00:12:44cases, are private corporations
00:12:47that manage these centers. It is an
00:12:50industry of
00:12:53billions of dollars for these
00:12:56companies and they
00:12:59are guided by capitalist rather than humanitarian
00:13:02logic. That is why there is
00:13:05a joint
00:13:08effort between the government that has its white
00:13:11supremacist aims and these
00:13:14corporations that are eager to earn
00:13:18as much money as possible, which means they will
00:13:21spend as little as possible on each inmate and
00:13:25use discipline and
00:13:28control in these situations,
00:13:31imprisoning people who have committed no crime other
00:13:34than being in a country whose
00:13:38government does not want them. The Democratic
00:13:42governor of Massachusetts, Maura Healey, signed
00:13:45a law in August of this year that empowers the state
00:13:48auditor to inspect immigrant detention centers and ensure
00:13:52they comply with local safety
00:13:55standards. In June, the state of Colorado approved a measure
00:13:59that strengthens state and local health
00:14:02authorities to inspect immigrant detention
00:14:05centers, demonstrating that the struggle between federal
00:14:09and local power continues.
00:14:30In recent years, climate change, loss of
00:14:33biodiversity, and pollution have reached
00:14:36alarming levels, and the Earth warns us of the need to
00:14:40act. Avoid constantly opening the refrigerator
00:14:44and check that it seals well. Switch to LED bulbs that consume
00:14:47up to 80% less energy, adjust the air
00:14:50conditioning to 24 and 26°C and clean
00:14:54its filters regularly. Turn off the
00:14:58lights and equipment at the end of your workday. Every small
00:15:01act multiplied becomes a big change.
00:15:03Turn on energy saving.

00:18:20The deportation of migrants to third countries against their
00:18:24will puts them at risk of their human rights being violated
00:18:27in the recipient countries, so states cannot contractually
00:18:31disclaim their international legal obligations. In
00:18:34addition to committing human rights violations, the U.S.
00:18:37government has treated people with cruelty. Many migrants
00:18:41have reported that when they are transferred to third countries,
00:18:44they are not told where they are being taken. There are
00:18:48cases where they are received by nations that do not
00:18:52share their same culture, religion, and language,
00:18:55which makes it difficult to communicate properly. A
00:18:59U.S. federal appeals court ruled in September that
00:19:03deportations to third countries are illegal because
00:19:07they violate the right deportations have not stopped
00:19:10after the Supreme Court authorized the resumption
00:19:13of these flights.
00:19:15Investigation reports
00:19:19by the American news agency The New York
00:19:23Times have revealed that the Trump administration
00:19:26has allegedly used financial and diplomatic pressure
00:19:29tactics, using coercion and blackmail to force
00:19:32vulnerable nations to accept migrants deported from the
00:19:36United States. From February
00:19:392025 to September 2026, the United
00:19:43States government has expanded its immigration policy, deporting
00:19:47more than 23 people from its territory
00:19:50to more than 30 countries that have signed secret
00:19:54agreements to receive migrants who have no type of
00:19:57link or relationship with these recipient nations.
00:20:01But there is also the issue of being deported to third
00:20:05countries. Countries they don't know,
00:20:09countries that may be at war without them
00:20:12having any possibility of
00:20:15appealing and
00:20:18the danger they run, being in many cases asylum
00:20:22seekers or asylum recipients,
00:20:25for humanitarian or political
00:20:28reasons or whatever, they run the risk of
00:20:31being deported to countries that since World War
00:20:34II it has been established that no one can
00:20:38be returned to a country where they may suffer
00:20:41torture, imprisonment or
00:20:44murder. Among the countries that agreed to receive
00:20:47deported people from the United States are 12
00:20:51African states that have received people from third
00:20:54countries. These countries are Cape Verde, Cameroon,
00:20:57Eswatini, Ghana, Equatorial Guinea,
00:21:00Liberia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central
00:21:04African Republic, Rwanda, Sierra Leone,
00:21:07South Sudan and Uganda. Also in the
00:21:10American continent, several countries signed similar
00:21:13agreements with Washington, including Antigua and
00:21:17Barbuda, Belize, Costa Rica, Dominica, Ecuador,
00:21:20El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras,
00:21:24Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay,
00:21:28Dominican Republic, St. Kitts and Nevis and St.
00:21:31Lucia. According to internal documents
00:21:34examined by The Washington Post, the Trump administration
00:21:37committed to provide $410 million to close
00:21:41deportation agreements with 35 countries, almost a
00:21:45third of them African. The same source has indicated
00:21:48that the United States reserved $30 million
00:21:52to support UN operations in Cameroon, in exchange
00:21:55for the country accepting 1,000 migrants. In addition,
00:21:58the Democratic Republic of Congo was promised
00:22:01$75 million for UN operations, in exchange
00:22:04for hosting 2,000 migrants. Other
00:22:08investigations by American news agencies have
00:22:12reported other agreements where economic compensation
00:22:16the one signed with the government of Eswatini,
00:22:20where it agreed to accept 160 people from
00:22:24third countries expelled from the United States
00:22:27in exchange for $5.1 million. I believe there are
00:22:31two responsible parties. The main responsible party,
00:22:34the main violator,
00:22:37is the one who pays, which
00:22:41is the United States, and the accomplices are the
00:22:45countries that agree to be
00:22:48recipients of this
00:22:51type of people who have no reason to be
00:22:55sent to those countries, but all this is also
00:22:59done in exchange for money. Governments rent their
00:23:03territory as a warehouse, as a
00:23:06warehouse for human beings. This is a
00:23:09form of regression to old colonial
00:23:13forms, inverse forms. Before,
00:23:16they took people from Africa to send them to work
00:23:20as slaves in other parts, and now they do the opposite.
00:23:23What Washington does not
00:23:27need in terms of labor, they send
00:23:30people to peripheral countries. The current
00:23:34administration led by the Prime Minister of Jamaica,
00:23:37Andrew Holness, decided to receive migrants, and
00:23:41on October 13th, the country received the first
00:23:43flight of deportees from the United States. The arrival
00:23:47of the flight marks the operational beginning of a
00:23:50bilateral memorandum of understanding in June of
00:23:54this year between Washington and Kingston. Under the
00:23:58agreement, non-Jamaican migrants will be airlifted to their
00:24:01countries of origin or to another country that is not
00:24:04their origin, which has generated media controversy
00:24:08because returning people to a country that is not
00:24:11their own can put them at security risk, in
00:24:15addition to suffering cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment,
00:24:18as happened with 252 Venezuelan migrants who were
00:24:21held in the Salvadoran CCOT prison. The
00:24:24first flight, the first plane in which these people are placed, is only
00:24:28the beginning. The third country functions
00:24:32as a kind of rather macabre waiting room,
00:24:36by the way, for a return that international
00:24:39law prohibits, which
00:24:42is the direct prohibition of sending
00:24:46people to a country
00:24:50in which it has been decreed
00:24:53or confirmed that they may be
00:24:57persecuted, imprisoned, tortured, their lives
00:25:00may be in danger. So it is a
00:25:04violation, an open
00:25:08violation of established rights, for people
00:25:11who have not committed any crime,
00:25:13that is, being undocumented
00:25:17in the United States is not a
00:25:20crime, it is an administrative
00:25:23offense. The U.S. government terrorizes migrants,
00:25:27forcing them to flee out of fear.
00:25:30Mass detentions and illegal expulsions separate
00:25:33families, cause trauma and consume billions
00:25:37of taxpayer dollars.
00:25:41in surveys over the past year is that
00:25:45within many communities that previously
00:25:48supported Trump, they now reject
00:25:52him precisely for his immigration policies. This is
00:25:56particularly visible within Latino
00:25:59communities and it can have a big impact. in
00:26:02states like Texas and
00:26:06Florida Arizona and Colorado
00:26:09where many of the people who are Latinos who voted
00:26:13for Trump initially now
00:26:16because of his economic policies
00:26:20and because of the fact that they have been hunting
00:26:23and deporting their family members, even if
00:26:26they don't have the legal right
00:26:29to be here, they no longer want to vote for the
00:26:33Republican candidates in their area, and of course,
00:26:36the rest of the country, non-migrants or
00:26:40non-Latinos also,
00:26:43we are well, it is such
00:26:46a serious and obvious violation of
00:26:49human rights of
00:26:53all people that they are occupying and militarizing
00:26:56entire cities in order to
00:26:59deport community members, and they are
00:27:02threatening everyone, all people, that has
00:27:06also provoked a great rejection.
00:27:07Sanctuary
00:27:11states have denounced that the federal government
00:27:14along with ICE are violating the Fourth and Fifth
00:27:18Amendments, which establish that no person can be deprived of life,
00:27:21liberty, or property without due legal
00:27:25process. However, the Trump administration has sent
00:27:28hundreds of men to third countries against their will and without
00:27:32respect for the possible immigration processes they may be
00:27:35facing. According to analysts, this anti-immigrant
00:27:38policy of the Republicans could cost them in the upcoming midterm
00:27:42elections on November 3rd. What is at stake is not only immigration
00:27:46policy, but the model that penalizes Democratic states, especially
00:27:49sanctuary states that do not submit
00:27:53decisions to the needs imposed
00:27:56by ICE. Thus we come to the end of this broadcast of Between
