Argentina in Advanced Talks to Become Destination for U.S. Deportations
Source: NYT
The United States and Argentina are in advanced talks to sign an agreement that would allow the U.S. to deport immigrants from other countries to the South American nation, according to two people familiar with the negotiations and U.S. government records obtained by The New York Times.
The negotiations come as the Trump administration has mobilized a sweeping and aggressive deportation effort, including deploying immigration officers to U.S. cities, sometimes with fatal consequences.
The talks also come as the Argentine government has escalated anti-immigrant rhetoric under President Javier Milei, including claiming to have made record numbers of expulsions and sending the police on immigration enforcement operations in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, the capital.
