Balance of the Human Rights Defense Association of the first 100 days of Trump’s mandate
Human Rights Watch (HRW) rated the first 100 days of US President Donald Trump, who end on the 30th, as a list of 100 actions that go against human rights.
HRW compiled “100 harmful actions committed” by the President during the beginning of his second term, including attacks on freedom of expression, asylum and immigrant rights, health, environment and social protections, education, foreign aid and humanitarian assistance, and the constant avalanche of actions that violate or harm human rights ”.
“Since January, the government has illegally removed Kilmar Ábrica García, a saved citizen, to his home country, deported other migrants to El Salvador under circumstances that constitute forced disappearance and expelled asylum applicants from various nationalities to Panama and Costa Rica, violating international law,” he said in a statement to HRW.
HRW also stressed that Trump “attacked the rights to freedom of expression and meeting, including by arbitrarily and trying to deport foreigners due to his activism compared to Palestine.”
The organization also stressed that the Trump administration, which will complete 100 days to 30 April, “has drastically reduced support for human rights beyond US borders.”
“The government has cut vital assistance to hundreds of thousands of people in conflict zones and abandoned longtime efforts to support human rights advocates, independent journalists and research groups, including those who document ongoing atrocities,” said HRW.
Trump administration cuts have reached both state officials and international humanitarian aid agencies.
Elon Musk, Trump’s advisor who holds Tesla, Spacex and Social Network X played a key role in reducing government personnel as head of the newly created Government Efficiency Department (Doge), justifying the cuts with the alleged savings of billions of dollars to taxpayers.
The United States cut 83% of US Development Agency programs, USAID, which accounts for 42% of humanitarian aid worldwide.
