The Trump administration is negotiating with Palau to accept asylum seekers currently in the US. This proposal involves transferring individuals seeking protection to Palau, which would decide on each case. The agreement does not specify the number of individuals or benefits for Palau. A letter from Palau's president indicates the proposal is not final and may change. Recent legal decisions have allowed the US to transfer migrants to countries not their own, marking a shift in immigration policy. These moves aim to create deterrence within immigrant communities.
The Trump administration has requested that the small Pacific nation of Palau accept asylum seekers currently residing in the US, amid a wider push from the US to deport migrants to countries they are not from.
Palau is considering a draft agreement to resettle third country nationals from the US who may seek protection and against return to their home country.
The Government of the United States of America shall not transfer unaccompanied minors pursuant to this Agreement.
A letter from Palau's president Surangel Whipps Jr regarding the draft agreement makes clear the proposal is far from final and is subject to further discussion.
