Lurking Lawyer analysis
PDJT will reportedly hold a presser ~4pm today prior to leaving for the Missouri rally tonight.
Reportedly the subject is the border and the caravans. I have spent several hours researching the international law on this, and want to provide a synopsis.
As suspected, PDJT with cooperation from Mexico’s Nieto has indeed already sprung a legal trap based on longstanding international law.
The basic international refugee law is the UN’s 1951 Refugee Convention, ratified by 145 UN member states including Mexico and US, and administered by Geneva based UNHCR.
Article 27(1) established the concept of ‘country of first asylum’. It is the first country reached by a person seeking asylum status that meets two criteria:
(a) that country has offered the person refugee status, and
(b) that country also offers sufficient protection from the conditions causing the refugee to seek asylum.
Mexico’s offer to provide caravan members with asylum, housing, schooling, and work means it IS the country of first asylum. This also means it is automatically entitled to UN assistance from UNHCR (financial and otherwise, such a medical, tents or other housing, food ), none of which is directly on our US nickel.
Refugees may also seek further asylum in third countries, and the first country MAY allow this under Article 26(2)(a) ‘reassignment’ (especially if first country refugees prove burdensome for that country—think Greece and Syrians), but ONLY IF the further move is safe from ‘refoulment’. Refoulment is defined as a risk of refugee being returned by third country to country of origin from which fled seeking asylum.
US policy has long been that if refugee asylum is NOT granted, the failed ‘refugee’ is deported to country of origin—definitely risking refoulment according to the 1951 Refugee Convention.
. This means that Mexico cannot under international law allow the caravan to move to the US border seeking third country US asylum. It gives Nieto long established international law cover to stop the caravans moving on, period. Legal cover for failing to provide transportation is but one example.
It does something else for PDJT. There can be no valid liberal US or international law challenge to a US refusal to even consider asylum petitions from caravan members who do reach the border. I think that might be the essence of today’s presser, and then at the rally tonight he explains again more simply how ‘Catch NO release’ from the Fort Myer rally last night works legally. Liberal slpody heads coming.
It also does something even better. It means the proposed tent cities to hold caught caravan members are just there to hold them pending (only) illegal entry deportation hearings, NOT asylum petitions. The deportation hearings can go very fast because there are no facts at issue (entry was illegal), easily within the 30 days before children have to be separated from parents. Hence ‘catch NO release’, another new campaign slogan as good as ‘Jobs not Mobs’.
PDJT has got this beautifully, and under long standing international law. Even UN can do nothing but whine.

BREAKING NEWS: Cargo planes have been landing all morning at Kelly Field at JBSA - Lackland in San Antonio. They're are dropping off heavy cargo.
While it's unknown if this morning's activity is directly related, we know troops and equipment are moving through San Antonio in anticipation of the migrant caravans heading toward the US-Mexico border.
