Mexico refused a U.S. military plane access to its airspace when flying migrants to Guatemala. And as American Immigration Council senior fellow Aaron Reichlin-Melnick noted, another Central American country appears to have also not allowed the United States to fly over its airspace, given the flight’s unusually circuitous route.
“This deportation flight had to go all the way around the Yucatan first, and then it went through Costa Rica, suggesting Honduras may also have denied permission,” Reichlin-Melnick posted to Bluesky. He observed that countries declining to accommodate the U.S. by granting it access to its airspace could be a result of them perceiving his use of military C-130 planes “as an insult.”
As Virginia Commonwealth University associate political science professor Michael Paarlberg wrote […], carrying out deportations requires both the country deporting migrants and the country accepting them to coordinate.

“It should be obvious, but doesn’t seem widely understood that the US can’t unilaterally deport people,” Paarlberg explained. “This gives those countries a degree of leverage over the US if they simply refuse, as Mexico just did.”

“Guess we’ll have to put them somewhere while we figure out what to do with them. Maybe we can concentrate them all together somewhere? It would make keeping an eye on them easier. Nothing permanent, though, they aren’t gonna be there forever. A camp then. Yes. Some form of camp where we can concentrate them in one place would be ideal…!”
“Brilliant!”
To be fair, that’s how some of the nazi concentration camps started. A lot of countries wouldn’t take the deported Jewish people, so the nazis had to come up with another “solution.” Unless something changes, this is where we’re heading, and it is beyond frightening.
That’s the point he’s making…
So, history… repeats? Rhymes? As president musk said, i did Nazi that coming.
Britain was the first country to use concentration camps. The Nazis stole the idea from us.
Belsen started as a place to hold political prisoners and other ‘undesirables’, then Polish and (after Hitler had had enough.of Stalin) Russian POWs.
The USA in the find out phase. Absolutely no pity for the new government, but I feel really bad for the migrants caught up in this.
Yep, international problems need international cooperation. If you don’t have a good relationship with anyone, your problems are your own to fix, alone. America gets a lot of its power from soft diplomacy. Trump is already ducking it up, with who, nato, israel, immigration.
People still don’t have houses or cheap food. So he’s only creating more problems, not fixing any.
Do you think they’ll find out and leave it at that? I mean, it was always the question who would accept millions of deported people and I’m pretty sure Trump doesn’t wanna pay anyone for that. He will come up with another plan. Or he won’t and they will slowly die in the concentration camps.
Get fucked, nazi orange
Off-topic: how long will the Internet Archive keep working to show these posssibly “harmful” news? Do they have a backup in place in case they get asked by Minitrue to amend history?
The second flight will just strap parachutes to the deportees and airdrop them over the foreign country.
They’ll build camps and “deport” immigrants, political opponents and anyone they don’t like (LGBTQ+ people are rightly worried) to the camps. We have to be aware that “deport” can very easily become a euphemism with fascists.
