00:00:03the origin and soul of living traditions that define us as a

00:00:23The world is constantly
00:00:26such as the one signed with moving and every day new events are generated, geopolitics
00:00:29is moving. Globally, we ask what is behind
00:00:32each event, what are the consequences and how they
00:00:36affect us. Faced with these questions, we will try to put the
00:00:40orders from point,
00:00:45model that penalizes Democratic states, only on Telesur.
00:01:24According to investigators from the US press, Donald Trump's second
00:01:27administration has marked a radical turning point in the
00:01:31history of US immigration policy, implementing a program of mass
00:01:34deportations and unprecedented
00:01:36it does not need state coercion.
00:01:37on Non-governmental organizations claim
00:01:41that under this administration, the application of immigration law has
00:01:45trampled on universal rights such as the Fourth and Fifth
00:01:48Amendments. The federal immigration apparatus has
00:01:51intensified raids and operations in workplaces, neighborhoods
00:01:54and courts.
00:01:57A report by the International Organization for Migration and the
00:02:01Brookings Institution warned of a generalized
00:02:05climate of institutional terror that disproportionately affects
00:02:08the Latino community. To these
00:02:11immigration policies that violate the human rights of thousands of migrants
00:02:14who have not committed any crime and have an ongoing
00:02:18immigration case, sanctuary states have created
00:02:21laws to protect these communities that are being
00:02:24harassed by officials of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement
00:02:28(ICE), which has
00:02:30subsidies, FEMA generated a clash with the federal government that intends not
00:02:33to respect local
00:02:34legislation.
00:02:38The human and social consequences of Donald Trump's immigration policy in
00:02:42his second administration have been profound. The kidnapping of
00:02:46parents without arrest warrants by Immigration and Customs
00:02:50Enforcement (ICE) has left thousands of US citizen children
00:02:53in a situation of extreme vulnerability due to forced
00:02:57which is the sending of family separation.
00:03:00In addition, the social and economic isolation of many people
00:03:03has increased, who, for fear of being intercepted or kidnapped by
00:03:08and violence to ICE, have restricted themselves from going out into the streets. Latino
00:03:11communities suffer a drastic limitation of basic public services,
00:03:14emergency medical care, and education, deepening poverty
00:03:18and structural marginalization. Faced with this problem of
00:03:21racial discrimination, persecution, and kidnapping by immigration
00:03:25agents, sanctuary states have denounced that the
00:03:29federal institution is violating the Fourth Amendment
00:03:32that protects a person against unreasonable searches or seizures
00:03:35because immigration and customs enforcement agents
00:03:39have resorted to kidnapping and subterfuge to capture
00:03:43immigrants from the streets without an arrest warrant issued by
00:03:47a judge.
00:03:51What has become clear in The number of people detained by ICE agents soared to over
00:03:5465,700 by mid- July compared to 37,
00:03:58years ago and there was an increase of
00:04:01approximately 70%, according to data from the
00:04:05Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a research
00:04:08group at Syracuse University. Amidst the
00:04:12overflow of ICE detentions, anti-deportation and immigrant
00:04:15rights organizations, such as the American Civil Liberties
00:04:19Union, have denounced Immigration and Customs
00:04:22Enforcement agents for ignoring due process, forcibly detaining
00:04:26legal residents and citizens due to racial profiling
00:04:30errors and unleashing operations with fatal outcomes in
00:04:34Latino communities. Human rights are violated
00:04:37to the extent that several
00:04:41US laws are violated
00:04:44that precisely enshrine that
00:04:48defense. One of them is the Fourth Amendment, that no one
00:04:51can be detained
00:04:54for an excessive amount of time, beyond what the sentence is or what
00:04:57a judge decides, and if one pays
00:05:00a bond, for example, they must be released. The idea
00:05:04of ICE, of the immigration group,
00:05:07is to keep people illegally
00:05:10detained for
00:05:12longer than the law
00:05:15establishes, in cases where they have committed
00:05:19or been accused of some crime, these are
00:05:22violations of freedom, of the
00:05:25right to mobility, they are violations of human
00:05:29rights. Faced with this situation, sanctuary
00:05:32states such as California, New York, Illinois and New
00:05:36Jersey, as well as municipalities such as Los
00:05:38Angeles, Chicago and New York, have redesigned their
00:05:42internal regulations to protect their inhabitants, first,
00:05:46by prohibiting local police collaboration with ICE, that
00:05:49is, by denying compliance with administrative detention
00:05:53ICE that are not backed by a judicial order signed
00:05:57by a federal judge, second, complaints of
00:06:00abuses and constitutional violations through state
00:06:03attorneys general who have filed lawsuits
00:06:06stating that ICE's tactics of forcibly detaining
00:06:10people in courthouses, schools
00:06:13violate enshrined civil rights,
00:06:16because what we really see here is
00:06:20a war between
00:06:22the federal and state
00:06:26and municipal levels, right? Because there are
00:06:29state rights, there are municipal rights that really
00:06:32allow them to protect themselves against abuses by the federal
00:06:36government. Since the 80s, several
00:06:39cities around the country have opted
00:06:43to become sanctuary cities. They
00:06:47take measures to protect immigrant
00:06:50people against federal
00:06:53abuses. Obviously, the Trump administration
00:06:57prevents their efforts to deport
00:07:00all people who have
00:07:04any connection
00:07:06with another country, even if they are born in
00:07:10the United States today.
00:07:12So, that's why they are challenging them, but they are
00:07:16within their rights to decide what their
00:07:19local police, their health centers,
00:07:23etc., will do about
00:07:26how to treat their immigrant
00:07:28community. The coercive and economic
00:07:32retaliatory actions of the White House against sanctuary
00:07:35states and cities seek to condition and withhold vital
00:07:39federal funds such as transportation
00:07:43emergency funds, or public safety grants to subjugate
00:07:47them and force them to comply with federal directives.
00:07:51However, these sanctuary states have won legal
00:07:54challenges after arguing that the White House cannot
00:07:57use pre-existing federal funds as a financial
00:08:01bludgeon to politically blackmail state and
00:08:04local governments. An example of this type of lawsuit against the conditioning
00:08:07of FEMA and Department of Transportation funds was seen in
00:08:11California where federal directives were blocked, such as those
00:08:15issued against the transportation fund and the Federal Emergency
00:08:18Management Agency, which sought to economically punish
00:08:22the region for protecting the rights of immigrants.
00:08:24According to the National Immigration Forum,
00:08:28a non-profit organization in the United States that has been operating since
00:08:321982,
00:08:35various federal judges have issued preliminary court
00:08:38orders, and even rulings in favor of sanctuary states,
00:08:42determining that such financial sanctions are
00:08:45unconstitutional and exceed the authority of the executive
00:08:48branch. These policies tend to focus
00:08:52on restricting the application of immigration law in public
00:08:55spaces, limiting how local law enforcement can
00:08:59cooperate with federal immigration authorities, and prohibiting both
00:09:02local and federal agents from wearing masks
00:09:06or concealing their identity while on duty, which has led the
00:09:10federal government to question this, arguing that federal
00:09:14law prevails over state law.
00:09:17Well, the goals of the Donald Trump government are
00:09:20very clear. It's a white supremacist agenda,
00:09:24of dehumanization
00:09:26of the members of the American people who are
00:09:30migrants, whether they have citizenship or not,
00:09:34and they will use any tool
00:09:38they can to
00:09:40expel
00:09:42these members of our communities.
00:09:46Therefore, they use the supremacy clause
00:09:49of
00:09:51federal law, which states
00:09:55that federal laws take precedence over local
00:09:59laws. They are arguing that therefore
00:10:03they can do whatever they want without any
00:10:06intervention from
00:10:09state and local authorities, despite
00:10:13the abuses they are committing within their
00:10:16borders. This, obviously, is
00:10:19something that the states do not agree
00:10:23with, but they will use any tool
00:10:27they can to fulfill their
00:10:29xenophobic and genocidal
00:10:33goals. The lead attorney
00:10:36for the National Immigration Law Center, Cassandra
00:10:40Charles, has pointed out that the administration is misinterpreting the
00:10:43supremacy clause of the United States Constitution,
00:10:47because since the 80s there have been cities with
00:10:50sanctuary policies and that clause does not allow the
00:10:54federal government to dictate what laws
00:10:57states can pass. On the other hand, some states led by
00:11:01Democrats, fight to inspect federal immigrant
00:11:04detention centers, because the Trump administration maintains
00:11:07that states have no authority to regulate the
00:11:11facilities, causing a confrontation between federal and state
00:11:15power. So, it's a
00:11:19horrible violation and there have been many
00:11:22local struggles, even after the
00:11:26indigenous people in Florida and the
00:11:29expulsion of the Alcatraz alligator,
00:11:32as they called it, was thanks to an indigenous group
00:11:36there that protested that it was on their land,
00:11:39so there is a very strong movement against
00:11:43that capitalist migratory
00:11:45violence, but it is very powerful,
00:11:49it has a lot of money and the federal government has
00:11:53a lot of power to continue
00:11:55these abuses: according to statements and local
00:11:59news, sanctuary states have shown their concern about the
00:12:03conditions in federal immigrant detention centers, because
00:12:06there are reports of medical mistreatment, abuses, and
00:12:10negligence in these centers, in addition to pointing
00:12:13out that it is an obligation for states to supervise the quality
00:12:17of the water and food that is guaranteed in the centers.
00:12:21However, state health inspectors have been repeatedly
00:12:24denied access to the facilities where migrants
00:12:27are held, due to the fact
00:12:31that they are private prisons of the GEO Group, a company that
00:12:33manages about two dozen immigrant detention centers
00:12:37across the country. Well, the detention
00:12:40centers that are
00:12:44managed, well, that ICE uses, in
00:12:47many cases, in most cases are
00:12:50private corporations that manage
00:12:53these centers. It's an industry of
00:12:57billions of dollars for these
00:13:01companies and they
00:13:04are driven by capitalist logics, not humanitarian
00:13:07ones, that's why there is
00:13:11a joint effort between the
00:13:14government that has its white supremacist goals
00:13:18and those corporations that are eager to
00:13:22earn as much money as possible, which indicates
00:13:26that they will spend as little as possible on each inmate and
00:13:30use discipline
00:13:33maintain control in those
00:13:36situations, incarcerating people who have not
00:13:39committed any crime other than being in a
00:13:43country whose government does not want them.
00:13:47The Democratic Governor of Massachusetts, Maura Healey,
00:13:50signed a law in August of this year that empowers the state
00:13:53auditor to inspect immigrant detention centers and
00:13:57ensure that they comply with local health and safety
00:14:00standards. In June, the State of Colorado approved a
00:14:03measure that strengthens state and local
00:14:07health authorities to inspect immigrant
00:14:10detention centers, demonstrating that the struggle between federal
00:14:14and local
00:14:15power continues.

00:17:20The deportations of migrants to third countries against their
00:17:23will, makes them run the risk of their human rights being violated
00:17:27in the receiving countries, so states cannot
00:17:30contractually disregard their international legal
00:17:34obligations, in addition to committing human rights violations.
00:17:38The US government has treated people with cruelty. Many
00:17:42migrants have reported that when they are transferred to third countries,
00:17:45they are not told where they are going to be taken, and there are cases
00:17:49where they are received by nations that do not share their same
00:17:52culture, religion, and language, which makes it difficult
00:17:55to communicate properly. A US federal
00:17:59appeals court ruled in September that deportations
00:18:02to third countries are illegal because they violate
00:18:06the right to due process, and yet, deportations have not
00:18:10stopped after the Supreme Court authorized the
00:18:13resumption of these
00:18:15flights.
00:18:19Investigative reports from the US news agency The New York
00:18:22Times, have revealed that presumably the Trump
00:18:25administration has used financial and diplomatic pressure
00:18:28tactics, using coercion and blackmail to
00:18:32force vulnerable nations to accept deported migrants
00:18:35from the United States.
00:18:38From February 2025 to September
00:18:412026, the US government has expanded its immigration
00:18:44policy, deporting more than 23,000 people from its
00:18:48territory, to more than 30 countries that have signed secret
00:18:52agreements to receive migrants who have no
00:18:55ties or relationship with these receiving
00:18:58nations.
00:19:01But also, there is the issue that they are deported to
00:19:04third countries, to countries they do not
00:19:08know, countries that may be at war, without them
00:19:12having had any possibility of
00:19:15appealing, and
00:19:18the danger they run, being in many cases
00:19:22asylum seekers or asylum recipients
00:19:24for humanitarian or political reasons
00:19:27or whatever, they run the
00:19:30risk of being deported to countries that
00:19:33since World War II established that no one can be
00:19:37returned to a country where they may suffer torture,
00:19:40imprisonment or
00:19:43murder. Among the countries that agreed to receive people
00:19:47deported from the United States, are 12
00:19:50African states that have received people from third
00:19:53countries. These countries are Cape Verde, Cameroon,
00:19:57Eswatini, Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, Liberia,
00:20:01Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic,
00:20:05Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Sudan. and Uganda.
00:20:08Also in the American continent several countries signed
00:20:12similar agreements with Washington, including Antigua
00:20:15and Barbuda, Belize, Costa Rica,
00:20:17Dominica, Ecuador, El Salvador,
00:20:21Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras,
00:20:24Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay,
00:20:27Dominican Republic, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Saint
00:20:30Lucia. According to internal
00:20:34documents examined by The Washington Post, the Trump Administration
00:20:37pledged to provide $410 million to close
00:20:41deportation agreements with 35 countries, almost a
00:20:44third of them are African. The same source has indicated that the United
00:20:48States reserved $30 million to support UN
00:20:52operations in Cameroon, in exchange for the country
00:20:55accepting 1 migrants. In addition, the
00:20:58Democratic Republic of Congo was promised
00:21:00$75 million for UN operations,
00:21:03in exchange for hosting 20 migrants.
00:21:07Other investigations by US news agencies have
00:21:11reported other agreements where economic compensation is guaranteed,
00:21:16the government of Eswatini, where it agreed to accept
00:21:20160 people from third countries expelled from the United
00:21:24States in exchange for $5.1 million US
00:21:27dollars. I believe there are
00:21:30two responsible parties, the main responsible party, the
00:21:34main violator is the one
00:21:37who pays, which are the United
00:21:40States, and the accomplices are the countries that
00:21:44accept to be recipients of this
00:21:48type of people
00:21:51who have no reason to be sent to those
00:21:55countries, but all this is also done
00:21:58in exchange for money, governments rent their
00:22:02territory as a warehouse, as a
00:22:06warehouse for human beings, this is a
00:22:09form of regression to ancient colonial forms
00:22:13in reverse, before they took from
00:22:16Africa to send to work as
00:22:20slaves elsewhere and now they do it the other way around, what Washington
00:22:23does not want, what in terms of labor
00:22:27from people, they send them to peripheral
00:22:30countries. The current administration led by the Prime
00:22:33Minister of Jamaica, Andrew Holness, decided to receive
00:22:37migrants and on October 13, the country received the first
00:22:40flight of deportees from the United
00:22:43States. The arrival of the flight marks the operational start of a
00:22:47bilateral memorandum of understanding signed this
00:22:50year between Washington and Kingston. Under
00:22:53the agreement, non-Jamaican migrants will be transported
00:22:57by air to their countries of origin or to another country that is not their
00:23:00origin, which has generated media controversy because
00:23:04returning people to a country that is not their own
00:23:08can endanger their safety, in addition to being able to suffer
00:23:11cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment,
00:23:14as happened with 252 Venezuelan migrants who were
00:23:18held in the Salvador prison.
00:23:22The first flight, the first plane that takes
00:23:26these people is only the beginning,
00:23:30the third country functions as a kind of rather
00:23:34macabre waiting room, by the way, for a
00:23:38return that international law
00:23:40prohibits, which is the and that
00:23:44it also prohibits directly,
00:23:47people to the country
00:23:50in which it has been decreed, it has been
00:23:53verified that they can be persecuted,
00:23:56imprisoned, as we said, tortured, their life can
00:24:00be in danger, so it is a
00:24:02violation that is open
00:24:06to established rights, for
00:24:09people who have also not committed any crime, that
00:24:13is, being undocumented in the United
00:24:16States is not a
00:24:20crime, it is an administrative
00:24:23offense. The US government terrorizes
00:24:27migrants, forcing them to flee out of fear. Mass
00:24:30detentions and illegal expulsions separate
00:24:33families, generate trauma, and consume billions
00:24:36of taxpayer dollars.
00:24:41surveys over the last year is that
00:24:44within many communities that previously
00:24:48supported Trump, now reject him
00:24:51precisely because of his immigration policies. This is
00:24:55particularly visible within Latino
00:24:58communities and can have a big impact in
00:25:02states like Texas,
00:25:05Florida, Arizona, and Colorado
00:25:09where many of the Latino people who voted for Trump
00:25:13initially now, both because of
00:25:17his economic policies and
00:25:20because of the fact that he has been hunting and
00:25:23deporting their family members, whether or not
00:25:27they have a legal right to be here,
00:25:30no longer want to vote for Republican
00:25:34candidates in their area, and of course, the rest of the
00:25:38country, non-migrants or non-Latinos
00:25:41are also experiencing, well, it is such
00:25:45a serious and obvious violation
00:25:49of the human rights of all
00:25:52people, that they are occupying, militarizing
00:25:56entire cities with the aim of deporting community
00:26:00members and are threatening
00:26:02everyone, the entire population, that has caused
00:26:06a great rejection
