Expanded Deportation Strategies
- The Trump administration is expanding eligibility for deportation and pursuing agreements with countries to deport non-citizens there.
- This includes countries like South Sudan, Kosovo, Rwanda, and Central American nations that take migrants who aren't their own citizens.
South Sudan Deportation Controversy
- The Trump administration deported eight men with criminal records to South Sudan, a country not their own.
- A federal judge ruled this illegal, but the Supreme Court allowed such third country deportations with limited due process.
Detention Overcapacity and Expansion
- ICE is over capacity holding about 58,000 detainees but funded for much less.
- The administration is turning to military bases and new facilities like 'Alligator Alcatraz' to hold more detainees and aims to expand detention capacity massively with new funding.
