Washington -Trump’s administration develops an Azil Agreement with the El Salvador Government, which would allow the US to deport migrants in a small Central American state who are not from it, two sources introduced to the CBS News about internal discussions.
An agreement, known as an agreement on a “safe third country” would strengthen American immigration officials deport non-Salvador migrants in El Salvador, blocking them to ask for asylum in the US. Instead, migrants would be deported with instructions to seek asylum in El Salvador, who would be proclaimed a “safe third country.”
The plan, if finalized, would revive the agreement that the first Trump administration concluded with Vlad El Salvador, although the agreement was never implemented and was eventually terminated by the administration of former President Joe Biden.
An agreement on a safe third country could be significant progress for the aggressive immigration plans of Trump administration, allowing it to deport migrants from different countries, including Venezuela, which limit or completely refuse to deport their citizens from the USA.

One of the internal plans considered to be allowed to USA sending deportation flights to El Salvador involving the suspect members of the Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang, which President Trump appointed as the central point of his strawing illegal immigration. A few hours after his inauguration, Mr Trump ordered the officials to begin the process of declaring a moment de Aragua to the terrorist group.
If this plan is implemented, it is unclear that El Salvador would treat the gang members deported. Under President Nayib Bukele, the Salvador government conquered the infamous gangs of El Salvador, including the MS-13, through a campaign of mass closure.
The Bukele government is expected to be a key ally of Trump’s administration. Bukele enjoys wide popularity in El Salvador and among American conservatives, mainly because of their band policy, which international groups say it involves violating the lawful procedure.
White house he said Mr. Trump and Bukele spoke on the phone on Thursday and talked about “working together on stopping illegal immigration and strawing transnational gangs like a moment de Aragua”.
State Secretary Marco Rubio, who promised to make the suppression of mass migration to make a major priority, should also visit El Salvador in early February as part of a trip to Latin America, which should start later this week.
Representatives of the State Department, the Ministry of Homeland Security and the White House did not immediately respond to the commentary requests.
Mr. Trump has already started quickly to begin his extensive action of sending immigration, giving the deportation officers of the departure of the authority for the arrest and deportation of unauthorized immigrants, closing access to the Azil system on the US-Maxic border and hiring huge resources of the US army to perform immigration measures. by declaring an emergency.

Military planes They are now used For the deportation of migrants who illegally cross the southern border, and there are additional active forces distributed there to raise the barriers designed to reject illegal transitions. The longtime federal law generally forbids the military participation in civil law enforcement.
An agreement on a safe third country would add another layer to Mr. Trump’s efforts to close the US border for migrants and asylum seekers, both physical obstacles and far -reaching policy changes.
It is not clear how such an agreement would be interaction with other moves of Mr. Trump regarding asylum, including giving border agents Authorization for a quick deportation of migrants not allowing them to request a legal refuge. His administration also returns the rule, known as remain-in-mexico, according to which asylum seekers must remain outside the US until their cases are considered.
Currently, the US has one agreement on a safe third country. According to this agreement, the US and Canadian government exchange asylum seekers crossing the common border. The first Trump administration concluded an asylum contracts with Guatemala, Honduras and Salvador. Only the one with Guatemala entered into force, and all three agreements were suspended after Biden assumed his duty.
