Summary
The Bahamas has rejected a proposal from Donald Trump’s transition team to accept deported migrants from other nations, a key part of his plan to overhaul U.S. immigration policy.
Prime Minister Philip Davis’s office stated there have been no further discussions since their refusal.
Trump’s deportation strategy, which targets countries like Panama and Grenada, raises concerns about displacing individuals to nations they have no ties to.
This proposal aligns with Trump’s campaign promises of mass deportations and is overseen by Tom Homan, a hardline immigration official from Trump’s previous administration.

Late-stage cannibalism
Hey, someone needs to staff the Fyre festival!
Betcha he’s gonna do it anyway.
Edit: Or this whole idiotic scheme will fall apart and then he’ll stop talking about it. Have you heard him say the word “wall” even once in the past five years?
Traditionally the fascists round everyone up into camps, realize no one will let you dump 22mill fucking people on their doorstep, and try and reduce the cost of the camps with forced labor, then start working people to death, and killing them on an industrial scale. I know they sound like the worst, but the people who outnumber them who are willing to say ‘‘not my problem’’ while this happens are the real issue. Fascist will always be around, complacency is what allows them to carry out their plans.
Trump can’t send people to the Bahamas without the goverment’s permission. They won’t be allowed off the plane, and eventually the plane has to return to the US.
Trump doesn’t even follow his own country’s laws, I doubt he’ll care much about another’s.
Trump isn’t in charge of Bahamas. So if they say nobody gets off a plane in their airport, then nobody can get off the plane. The pilot can either sit in the cockpit forever or fly everyone home.
This is not a man who wouldn’t use force to make it happen anyway.
It’s pointless to use force. That would mean breaking all treaties with the Bahamas. Which would free the Bahamas to do things that are normally prohibited, like putting all the newly arrived immigrants on a boat and sailing them 50 miles right back to Florida.
This whole charade is pointless. We are not talking about a rational human.
Even Hitler couldn’t force anyone to take all Jewish immigrants he wanted to exile, this isn’t a game, no amount of force and stupidity works in this situation. You can’t dump people in other countries, the other countries have things like militaries, and air traffic controllers, and export/import goods to turn on and off. Even with all the termoil in Egypt, they’ve never taken in the whole population of Gaza as Isreal wants them to. Their goal has been to exile them for a long long time, it’s never going to work, and now they are killing them all. This is how ethnostates work, this is how authoritariaism, fascism, autocracy work. You vilified minority groups, blame everything on them, create a atmosphere of fear and hate, round them all up or force them all in one area, and when nothing can be done to solve the problem you created by doing this, you kill them all.
The point is THEY won’t brake THEIR laws. If you want an example of what the looks like, just look at Gaza and Egypt.
I said it before; he’ll point people south of the border, tell them to go that way or be shot at. They don’t care if people die. They never considered them people to begin with.
He’ll have them killed first. ‘‘Letting people leave’’ never happens in authoritarian fascist thinking.
How long before they’re on prison being used as slave labor?
Immediately. I doubt they were ever going to leave the country.
That’s what I’ve suspected all along.
Surprised he’s not trying to send them to Puerto Rico.
Better hope he’s as bad in US geography as he’s in moral terms.
Shhh… don’t give him ideas.
An all expenses paid trip to the Bahamas? I thought Trump was the host of The Apprentice, not The Price Is Right.
There’s no need to listen to the ratings of a mentally challenged boy… The world knows who Trump is at this point.
I don’t think any nation wants to have some random people dumped on their doorstep.
So either they identifi the country of origin and send them back there (still only if that country takes them), or they are stuck with them. They could of course just kill them, but there might be some GOP members who think that is going to far and block this.
Rwanda are probably open to discussions about this as they’re not receiving them from the UK now.
