Donald Trump administration in the United States initiated a process aimed at involving immigration courts or deporting children-migrants arriving in the country alone, without parents or accompanying persons.
According to the ABC News television channel, referring to the informed source, the Trump administration ordered that the border service employees track migrant children who have no parents.
The framework of these measures provides for the challenge of such children to immigration courts or their deportation.
According to information received from the immigration and customs service (ICE), which is part of the US Department of Internal Security, this policy is aimed at “protecting children-migrants from trafficking in people and other threats.”
Children-migrants are divided into three groups without accompaniment, their deportation is planned in four stages.
On February 19, the Trump administration announced the termination of financing for a legal representation for migrant children arriving in the country without parents.
Trump anti -migration measures
On the very first day of his presidential term, Donald Trump signed a decree on the abolition of the policy of “diversity, equality and inclusiveness” introduced by his predecessor Joe Biden. He also later announced the cancellation of the CBP One program, which allowed migrants to legally apply for entry into the United States.
In addition, Trump ordered to prepare an object in Guantanamo in the Gulf of Guantanamo for 30 thousand places for the maintenance of “migrant criminals” illegally entering the country. The head of the Pentagon Pit Hegset said that this object will become a “perfect zone” for placing migrants.
