Bahamas & Turks and Caicos Reject Trump’s Bid to Deport Asylum Seekers to Third Country

Trump’s transition team has prepared a list of countries to which it may deport asylum seekers when their home countries refuse to accept them. That’s according to NBC News, which reports the arrangement could lead to hundreds of thousands of people becoming permanently displaced in countries where they have no connection to communities, language or culture. On Thursday, the governments of the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos said they oppose Trump’s deportation plans. Panama and Grenada are reportedly also on Trump’s list.
