Migration: hurdles in deportations – Ministry closes departments

The US Ministry of Homeland has closed three departments that had taken care of civil rights and migrants. The “Washington Post” quoted a spokeswoman for the ministry with the words that they were “an inhibition of enforcing the immigration regulations”. The spokeswoman said the “New York Times”: “These departments have hindered the enforcement of the immigration laws by building bureaucratic hurdles and undermining the mandate of the immigration authority.”

According to the “Washington Post”, the departments with around 300 employees processed thousands of complaints and indications of the immigration system, the conditions of adhesion and delays in processing applications to citizenship. Her reports went to committees of the House of Representatives and the Senate, for example.

The “New York Times” reported that the government of President Donald Trump attempts to pry the supervisory mechanisms in all government authorities in order to enforce their deportation policy and, in some cases, deport people without or with only little legal assistance. According to “New York Times”, Democrats in the Homeland Security Committee of the House of Representatives explained that Trump turned on another position that could uncover “illegal and unconstitutional actions”.

A released leading employee told the CNN broadcaster that the closure in this form was testifying without a plan of insignificant disregard for the rule of law and the concern for the people who could be damaged by state attacks.
