The United States plans to deport Afghan citizens to their country via Pakistan, according to documents obtained by the AP

The Trump administration plans to deport Afghan nationals detained in the United States via Pakistan, according to judicial documents obtained by The Associated Press. Immigration rights organizations warn that this measure could endanger lives, as many Afghans fled Taliban persecution after collaborating with US forces. A senior ICE official acknowledged in a Virginia federal court filing that an Afghan immigrant was scheduled to fly from Louisiana to Pakistan with subsequent transport to Afghanistan. Another case in Oklahoma revealed similar deportation schedules for next week. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson declined to comment on future removal operations citing operational security, while the Pakistani embassy did not respond to inquiries. The article notes that the US has previously deported migrants to third countries when direct relations were absent or as a deterrent.

Cuba criticizes the United States for deporting Cubans to third countries

Cuban authorities have accused the United States government under President Donald Trump of facilitating irregular migration by detaining Cuban migrants indefinitely or deporting them to third countries, including Africa. Vice Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossio stated that these actions separate families and violate human rights. Havana claims this strategy is part of a broader US effort to destabilize Cuba through demographic pressure. The article highlights diplomatic tensions between the two nations regarding immigration policies and border enforcement.

Bias read (Progressive): The article relies exclusively on Cuban official accusations against the US administration, using terms like 'denounced' and emphasizing family separation without presenting counterarguments or US policy justifications.

Bias read (Progressive): Framing relies heavily on quotes from advocacy groups describing the plan as 'inconceivable' and a violation of human rights, emphasizing potential life risks over administrative logistics.
