AI-generated summary
Donald Trump hatte während seines Wahlkampfs eine harte Linie gegen illegale Einwanderung angekündigt, einschließlich massiver Abschiebungen durch ICE. Nach seiner Amtseinführung wurden diese Pläne umgesetzt, was zu landesweiten Razzien führte.
Sie entreißen Kindern ihre Mütter und versetzen ganze Stadtviertel in Angst. Manche Familien trauen sich nicht mehr aus dem Haus. Der Rest des Landes aber – diejenigen, die wissen, dass sie ICE nicht fürchten müssen – geht unbekümmert dem Alltag nach. Viele schauen weg. Und es gibt nicht wenige, die über die anderen sagen: Geschieht ihnen doch recht.
ICE steht für U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Überall in den USA sind die vermummten Trupps dieser Behörde unterwegs, um eine Aufgabe zu erfüllen: mass deportations, Massenabschiebungen. So hat es Donald Trump befohlen. So stand es auf den Schildern, die seine Anhängerinnen und Anhänger im Wahlkampf jubelnd nach oben reckten.

The EU plans to outsource asylum and return procedures to third countries. Former Frontex manager Götz Brinkmann explains, based on his experience, that even smaller agreements with non-EU states are difficult to reach, even though Europe is dependent on partners and can only offer limited incentives. He cites the political reservations of the partners, a lack of trust steps and extensive EU requirements on fundamental rights, data protection and control as blockages, for example in the failed Niger draft of 2022 due to data protection concerns. Brinkmann emphasizes that return centers must have clear regulations on responsibility, legal protection and control beforehand, as the consequences of European decisions only become visible in third countries. His conclusion: Financial or visa-based considerations can make signatures easier, but the fundamental conflict between European guarantees and the willingness of third countries to cooperate remains.
