The New York Times article discusses the complexities of President Trump's immigration policy, particularly regarding deportations, which depend heavily on cooperation from other countries. While Trump has pursued mass deportations as a key part of his agenda, the actual process is complicated by diplomatic relations, as countries are not always willing to accept their citizens back. The article highlights instances of countries refusing to take back deportees, leading to diplomatic tensions, and emphasizes that successful deportation requires negotiations and agreements between the U.S. and the countries of origin. Additionally, Trump's proposal to establish a detention facility at Guantánamo Bay raises legal and ethical concerns regarding the detention of migrants.

Key Points:

• Deportation requires bilateral agreements; countries must accept their citizens back.
• Trump's administration has faced diplomatic friction with countries like Brazil and Colombia over deportations.
• Some countries, labeled "recalcitrant," restrict the number of deportation flights they accept.
• The U.S. has negotiation strategies ranging from incentives to threats to ensure cooperation.
• The proposal to establish a detention center in Guantánamo Bay raises legal and moral questions.
• The practicality of using Guantánamo for large-scale detention is questionable amidst broader immigration reform issues.
