"The fear of being deported to an unknown country could, advocates believe, drive migrants to abandon their asylum claims altogether, further complicating their already precarious situations."
"Many immigrants are now mired in immigration limbo, unable to argue their asylum claims in court and unsure if they'll be shackled and put on a deportation flight."
Over 13,000 immigrants in the U.S. are facing third-country deportation orders to countries like Uganda and Ecuador, despite living legally while awaiting asylum rulings. Many are now in immigration limbo, unable to present their cases in court and losing their work permits. Although few have been deported, the situation has created widespread fear among immigrant communities. Advocates suggest that the administration's intent is to instill fear, potentially pushing migrants to abandon their asylum claims altogether.
