Trump policy of deporting migrants to countries they have no ties to is illegal, judge rules

How is this not human trafficking?
A Canadian rapes a 13yo girl. He’s arrested for his crime. That Canadian is eventually deported to Canada.
A woman from Chad (the country) arrives, 6 mos pregnant, and is picked up by immigration. In addition to wanting an Ebola screening (always, for Africa…), she is turned around and shipped back to Chad.
A Mexican without papers is picked up by immigration. No claims, just doesn’t have a home any more and decided to try here. Sent back to….drum roll…Mexico.
These are three normal immigration scenarios, pre Stephen Miller. This is how it worked, pre Stephen Miller.
Now, I guess we’re human traffickers. I’m not sure what else you can call it when you’re shipping unwilling human “parcels” to random third world countries with the permission of those third world countries. Kinda sounds like human trafficking, by definition.
The "problem" they're trying to get around, is that the people they want to deport are asylum seekers. They know that sending them back to their country of origin will get blocked by an immigration judge, because it puts their lives in direct harm...so, they're trying to send them somewhere "neutral" instead.
This is about as clever as the Trump administration gets.
No. It’s human trafficking. Since when did a judgement make any difference to MAGA?
