You would think. But the US has adopted a new policy by which they are not returning people to their country of citizenship.
Non-Mexicans have been deported to Mexico. A mother of four children was deported with two of her kids, the two others remained in the US. She is not from Mexico. She is a foreigner with nothing, no job, and two kinds. Had they been sent back home, they would have had their family to help them out.
Usually, the process for deportation requires the government to prove the criteria for deportation are met, allows for the defendant to have representation, and requires for a judge to decide on the merit of the case if the defendant contests the deportation. But the US government doesn't follow those rules.
To make things worst, in the case of El Salvador, the US government is contracting the El Salvadorian government to detain people they have deported. In other words they are paying to have people detained in a foreign country without having being charged for a crime.
The US has deported Venezuelan to El Salvador. Some of them were legally living in the US.
One Salvadoran legally living in the US, and has a protected status preventing his deportation to El Salvador, was deported to El Salvador. He is in jail, not with his family. The US government won't bring him back.
That's why due process is important. You can't let government agents decide who gets deported and to which country. With the courts, the process is public and fallows a clearly defined process. With ICE, the process is secretive and arbitrary.
The government is not transparent about who is being deported. Some families discovered a family member had been deported because they saw them in a video filmed in an El Salvadorian prison.
How would Americans react if compatriots where deported to a foreign country without due process? My guess is, they would be outraged.
