Trump and the controversial deportation: protests and chaos in the USA!

On April 20, 2025, US President Donald Trump published a heated Easter greeting on his Truth Social platform, who is targeting both domestic opponents and the bidges. Radio Leverkusen reports that Trump criticized particularly left-wing radical groups, murderer, drug barons, dangerous capture and members of the MS-13 gang to bring back to the USA. These statements come at a time when the US government is criticized, in particular because of the controversy about the deportation of the migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia. While hundreds of demonstrators protested against Trump's deportation policy in front of the White House the day before, the question arises of the legality and practical consequences of this policy.

The Trump government has exposed to significant allegations due to Garcia's deportation, which was carried out despite a granted deportation protection. The 29-year-old father was illegally entered the United States in 2011 to flee gang gang, but his asylum application was rejected in 2019. The government described the deportation as "administrative mistake", but at the same time claimed that Garcia was a member of the notorious MS-13 gang, which his lawyers decidedly denied. Tagesspiegel reported that the government had to bring back Garcia recently, and the case ultimately at the Supreme Court of the United States is negotiated.

The political climate

In his Easter greeting, Trump also addressed critical words to judges who had blocked his deportation policy, and still wished them a happy Easter. His repeated claim that the 2020 election victory was stolen by massive fraud is another hanger of his current rhetoric, which is heavily polarized. In addition, Trump commented negatively about ex-President Joe Biden and described him as the most incompetent president who has ever been in office.

At the same time, the Trump government faces considerable pressure. US Senator Chris van Hollen traveled to El Salvador to promote Garcia's return because he is sitting in a dangerous prison. Trump's spokeswoman has titled Garcia as a "illegal foreigner" in "and described it as part of the MS-13 gang, while Van Hollen and Garcias wife vehemently act against these allegations. The question arises as to how this deportation policy endangers trust in the rule of law.

The effects of deportation policy

The deportation policy of the United States has an impact on the current political situation, but also on the situation of refugees in Central America. Tagesschau observed that many people who are traditionally on their way to the USA can break off their journey and search for alternatives. As part of an agreement with the United States, Mexico has the intention of stopping the flow of refugees, which means that many migrants have to remain in this country, although they have often been seen as travelers in the past.

The mood towards migrants has changed in Mexico, many experience racism and physical violence. The route over the Darién jungle is particularly dangerous, with hundreds of life lost. Reports from migrants who have left the long path to the US border are evidenced by the dangers that those who are looking for a better life.

The political framework and the associated decisions not only have direct effects on the people concerned, but also raise fundamental questions about the humanity and legality of the deportation procedure. The debate about US deportation policy is therefore extensive and affects the entire region. In view of the ongoing protests and the intensifying situation, it can be seen that the emerging challenges for the government of Donald Trump go far beyond the limits.
