Human rights groups raise concerns over late-night deportations by the U.S.
In a recent report, human rights activists have decried the U.S. government's reintroduction of late-night deportations of Mexican immigrants, a practice linked to increased dangers from cartels and human trafficking. The video highlights the significant risks faced by deportees, particularly those unfamiliar with their new environments and vulnerable to criminal exploitation.
In 2016, an agreement between the U.S. and Mexican governments aimed to limit deportations to daylight hours, specifically between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. However, reports indicate that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have resumed deportations during the late hours, often at around midnight. This shift has left deportees on the Mexican side without the safety of official Mexican authorities to receive them, further endangering their well-being.
The commentary from John Stanton, a senior national correspondent for BuzzFeed News, emphasizes how this situation is exacerbated for detainees who primarily speak Spanish and are not from the regions they are deported to. The border towns, including Nogales, Mexicali, and Tijuana, are notorious for cartel operations that have historically preyed on vulnerable migrants.
Despite inquiries made to CBP and ICE regarding these late-night practices, no official responses have been delivered. This silence suggests a lack of transparency and accountability from the agencies involved, further complicating the battle for immigrant rights.
As we reflect on the implications of these actions, questions arise about the humanitarian practices at the U.S.-Mexico border and the broader impact of immigration policies.
