Seven Guyanese deported from US
…arrived on special chartered flight
Kaieteur News has confirmed with police that “seven individuals were deported to Guyana from the United Stated of America (USA) on Tuesday.
They landed on a special chartered flight at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport at Timerhi, East Bank Demerara (EBD). Police did not state the reason for their deportation but Kaieteur News understands that they might be among deportees of the President Donald J. Trump’s administration’s sweeping deportation policy targeting undocumented migrants in the USA.
The batch of seven might be the first set of Guyanese to be sent home from the USA since the Trump deportation kicked off. Kaieteur News learnt that the chartered plane had made several drop-offs before arriving in Guyana. The deportees were processed by the Guyanese police before being released, Kaieteur News was told. Meanwhile police told Kaieteur News that there are some issues surrounding the release of their identities.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday that Trump has made no secret of his willingness to exert a maximalist approach to enforcing immigration laws and keeping order as he campaigned to return to the White House. The fulfillment of that pledge is now on full display in Los Angeles. The president has put hundreds of National Guard troops on the streets to quell protests over his administration’s immigration raids, a deployment that state and city officials say has only inflamed tensions. Trump called up the California National Guard over the objections of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom — the first time in 60 years a president has done so — and is deploying active-duty troops to support the guard.
By overriding Newsom, Trump is already going beyond what he did to respond to Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, when he warned he could send troops to contain demonstrations that turned violent if governors in the states did not act to do so themselves. Trump said in September of that year that he “can’t call in the National Guard unless we’re requested by a governor” and that “we have to go by the laws.”
But now, the past and current president is moving swiftly, with little internal restraint to test the bounds of his executive authority in order to deliver on his promise of mass deportations. What remains to be seen is whether Americans will stand by him once it’s operationalized nationwide, as Trump looks to secure billions from Congress to dramatically expand the country’s detention and deportation operations.
