US Court Protects Migrants as Pompeo Ignores Imperial Blowback
While a federal judge's ruling offered temporary relief, the underlying issues persist. Many of these migrants seeking TPS from countries like Honduras and Nicaragua are fleeing conditions directly exacerbated, if not created, by decades of U.S. interventionism. From the Contra wars in Nicaragua, funded by the Reagan administration despite Congressional bans, to support for coups and destabilizing
economic policies across Central America, the U.S. has a documented track record of fomenting the very instability that forces mass displacement. Pompeo’s State Department sought to 'normalize' the mass expulsion of these individuals, acting as if their plight materialized from thin air. We can celebrate a court intervention, but how many judges will it take to address the historical and ongoing
U.S. policies of economic exploitation and political meddling that turn entire nations into refugee pipelines? It's almost as if the architects of chaos then complain about the resulting exodus. Call it what it is: blowback, repackaged as an immigration 'crisis' on our doorstep.
