Administrația Trump ia în considerare folosirea navelor pentru a deporta migranți. Un fost oficial descrie propunerea drept „nave-închisoare”

Two U.S. officials revealed that the Trump administration considered using ships for migrant transport in Central and South America. A former Biden official labeled this idea as "prison ships," raising serious concerns. The rationale behind the plan remains unclear, although it would shift deportation costs from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to the Department of Defense. DHS emphasized its commitment to maximizing efficiency and fulfilling Trump's mission to secure the homeland. Concerns were raised about the legal implications of transporting people across international waters. Previous deportations were conducted using military planes, and the costs of ship travel could be significantly higher than flights.
