Record target for US president: negotiations with 30 countries to repatriate non-US citizens

Donald Trump aims to deport one million migrants in his first year in office at the White House. The indiscretion comes from the Washington Post, which cites sources close to the US administration. If realised, this would be a number never reached in recent US history: the highest so far was reached under Barack Obama, with around 400,000 deportations in a single year.

An unprecedented plan
Stephen Miller, Trump’s immigration policy advisor, is working on the strategy on a daily basis, in close contact with the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies. The aim is to strengthen and speed up the identification, apprehension and repatriation of illegal immigrants on US soil.

Repatriation also to third countries
One of the main challenges is the acceptance of migrants by the countries of origin. According to the Washington Post, the administration is in talks with about 30 foreign governments to convince them to accept deported migrants even if they are not their citizens, using diplomatic means and bilateral agreements.

The unknowns
The ambitious plan, which is likely to trigger political and legal reactions, is part of a framework of growing tension on the issue of immigration. There is no shortage of criticism from civil rights organisations and part of Congress, which consider the proposed figures not only unrealistic but also potentially harmful to human rights.
