Back in January, we reported on legislation to shore up the legal right to impose visa sanctions on nations that refuse to take back criminal illegal aliens deported from the United States. I can’t speak to the legislation, but Mr. Trump isn’t waiting for back up.
The Trump administration has triggered visa sanctions against four countries that have refused to take back citizens the U.S. is trying to deport — tapping a little-used but very effective tool for forcing compliance. …
Triggering the sanctions fulfills a campaign promise by President Trump, who had chided the Obama administration for not doing more to force countries to take back their deportees.
Neither State nor Homeland has formally announced the nations involved but the Washington TImes is reporting sources suggest they are Cambodia, Eritrea, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
I wonder if the ACLU or some other leftist cabal has a lawsuit in a drawer waiting to be dusted off?
