The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is deporting American prisoners to detention camps in Africa without their consent, a move that has left legal experts questioning its constitutionality.
According to reports, at least one migrant was told they would be transported to a domestic detention facility but were instead taken to a prison located over 10,000 kilometers away from the U.S. This unprecedented shift in policy marks a significant change from previous practices and raises concerns about the treatment of migrants.
The decision has sparked debate and controversy, with many arguing that it is unconstitutional. Immigration experts are now examining the implications of this new approach on American law and the future of the migration crisis.
This practice was first introduced by former President Trump’s immigration detention plan, which dubbed one of the facilities “American Siberia” and another as “Alligator Alcatraz”.
