Canada and U.S.: Struggling to Deport

Canada is joining forces with the United States to overcome obstacles posed by countries hesitant to accept deportees. Despite increasing efforts to return migrants, both nations encounter difficulties due to some countries' unwillingness to cooperate, as revealed by a government document obtained by Reuters.

Since U.S. President Donald Trump resumed office, his administration has intensified deportations, but progress is often hampered by countries not accepting their nationals. Similarly, Canada has faced challenges, issuing a single-use travel document for a Somali deportee. Both governments aim to address these hurdles to better manage immigration controls together.

Canada's immigration issues have fueled political debates, with some politicians citing migrants as causes for the housing crisis and living costs. As deportations rise, refugee lawyers express concerns about potential dangers deportees might face. Efforts for increased cooperation continue, despite U.S.-Canada tensions amid trade threats.
