Bu içerikte, Amerikan İnsan Hakları Birliği (ACLU), Göçmenlik ve Gümrük Muhafaza (ICE) aleyhine bir dava açtı ve ajansın Donald Trump’ın kitlesel sürgün programını nasıl uygulayabileceği hakkında daha fazla bilgi talep etti. Trump’ın milyonlarca kaçak göçmeni göreve başladığı anda sınır dışı etme tehdidinde bulunduğu ve bu tehdidi kazandığından beri yeniden teyit ettiği belirtilmektedir. ACLU, ICE’nin özel uçaklarla gerçekleştirilen uçuşlarının sürgünleri hızlandırmak için nasıl genişletilebileceğine dair detayları talep ettiği bir FOIA başvurusu yaptığını ancak ICE’nin bu talebe yanıt vermediğini belirtmektedir. Dava, ICE’nin taahhüt edilen belgeleri sunmasını talep etmektedir ve Trump’ın göçmen politikasını daha da ilerletmek için programın genişletilebileceği korkuları dile getirilmektedir.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) seeking more information about how the agency might carry out Donald Trump’s plans for a mass deportation program.
The US president-elect has vowed to deport millions of undocumented immigrants upon taking office, a threat that he has doubled down on since winning the presidential race earlier this month. On Monday, Trump confirmed a report that he intended to declare a national emergency to activate military resources as part of the mass deportation operation.
The new lawsuit comes after the ACLU Foundation of Southern California (ACLU SoCal) filed a Freedom of Information Act (Foia) request seeking details on how Ice’s privately chartered flights might be expanded to expedite deportations. According to the ACLU, Ice failed to respond to the Foia request, which was filed in August.
“For months, the ACLU has been preparing for the possibility of a mass detention and deportation program, and FOIA litigation has been a central part of our roadmap,” said Kyle Virgien, senior staff attorney at the ACLU’s national prison project. “A second Trump administration underscores the urgency of our litigation.”
According to the ACLU, planes chartered by the Ice Air Operations network assisted in the deportation of more than 140,000 people last year, and immigrant rights’ advocates fear that the program could be vastly expanded to further Trump’s agenda.
“Little is known about how President-elect Trump would carry out its mass deportation agenda, but what we do know is that this proposal has already instilled fear among immigrant communities,” said Eva Bitran, director of immigrants’ rights at ACLU SoCal. “The public has a right to know how its taxpayer dollars could be used to fund deportation flights that would tear apart not only families, but also our communities.”
The lawsuit demands that Ice turn over documents outlining any air transportation-related contracts, the ground transportation used to move noncitizens and the air fields that the agency has access to.
“The Freedom of Information Act requires federal agencies to disclose information requested by the public,” said Sophie Mancall-Bitel, a partner at Mayer Brown LLP, which joined the lawsuit. “It’s more important than ever that we understand what federal resources could be used to forcibly remove people from the United States.”
