The article critiques the U.S. government's mass deportation policy, portraying it as poorly executed and callous. It highlights the plight of migrants who, after arriving seeking asylum, find themselves detained and swiftly transported to Panama, losing contact with legal assistance and facing harsh conditions. The piece underscores the implications of these actions, particularly regarding the negligence of humane treatment since deported individuals are no longer on U.S. soil, thus exempting the government from legal responsibilities. The report invokes a sense of urgency and moral obligation towards the affected individuals from various countries.
They arrived at the United States border...hoping to seek asylum. Instead, they were detained, shackled and flown by the U.S. military to a faraway country, Panama.
Because the deported migrants are no longer on U.S. soil, Washington is not legally obligated to make sure they are treated humanely or have the chance to seek asylum.
