Topic: Criminal Alien Program

1 chapters across the catalog

The "Criminal Alien Program" (CAP) faces significant hurdles due to a lack of bed space in detention centers and the refusal of certain countries to accept their citizens back. Gaines notes that countries like Cape Verde and China often refuse deportees, requiring high-level sanctions to force cooperation. The segment highlights the difficulty of executing deportations when local blue-city jails refuse to notify ICE of a criminal's release.
