The Trump administration is intensifying efforts to deport migrants by negotiating with countries like Angola and Equatorial Guinea to accept deportees from the US. Internal government documents reveal a push to deport third-country nationals — including alleged gang members — to nations with which they have no prior ties, raising legal and humanitarian concerns. While Latin American countries have previously agreed to such arrangements, talks are now extending across Africa and Europe – places deemed far from the US. Critics warn the deals are more about deterrence than policy, with legal experts questioning protections for deportees. Meanwhile, an Angolan official has dismissed the notion, stating that their country is not accepting deportees of other nationalities. Likewise, an Equatorial Guinea representative has denied that any such conversation is taking place.
