What is another word for deportations?

Pronunciation: [dɪpɔːtˈe͡ɪʃənz] (IPA)

Deportations refer to the forced removal of a person or group of people from a country, often because they are undocumented, have violated immigration laws, or pose a threat to national security. Synonyms for deportations include forced expulsion, exile, banishment, eviction, extradition, and transportation. These terms all suggest a similar process of forcibly removing individuals from a country, often with little regard for their rights or well-being. In recent years, deportations have become a controversial issue in many countries, with critics arguing that they are inhumane and often separate families and communities. Nonetheless, deportations remain an important tool for governments to enforce their immigration policies and maintain the integrity of their borders.

Famous quotes with Deportations

  • When you write a two thousand page history of the Second World War, the deportations and the concentration camps will take up five pages, and the gas chambers perhaps 20 lines.
    Jean-Marie Le Pen
  • Nobody is blaming the current German population for the Nazi genocide. It was blamed on Hitler's politics and vision. Similarly while it is widely accepted that the Armenian genocide is the result of the politics of C.U.P in that period, we find it clearly unacceptable to turn back on the Armenians and to put the current Turkish and Kurdish population subject to such suspicions and into a position to defend itself. (Referring to acts of Committee of Union and Progress which was the de-facto ruler of Ottoman Empire during events of mass killings and deportations of Armenians.)
    Selahattin Demirtas
  • You (AKP) are very hard on C.U.P. when you wish, you can even say that "C.U.P. ideology has brought tyranny to this land". But when it is about the Armenians you can be even more pro-Enver than Enver or pro-Talat than Talat. I am truly amazed. (Referring to the 2 leaders, Enver Pasha and Talat Pasha of Committee of Union and Progress which was the de-facto ruler of Ottoman Empire during events of mass killings and deportations of Armenians.)
    Selahattin Demirtas
  • I can imagine no man who will look with more horror on the End than a conscientious revolutionary who has, in a sense sincerely, been justifying cruelties and injustices inflicted on millions of his contemporaries by the benefits which he hopes to confer on future generations: generations who, as one terrible moment now reveals to him, were never going to exist. Then he will see the massacres, the faked trials, the deportations, to be all ineffaceably real, an essential part, his part, in the drama that has just ended: while the future Utopia had never been anything but a fantasy.
    C. S. Lewis
  • Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them, and there is almost no kind of outrage — torture, the use of hostages, forced labour, mass deportations, imprisonment without trial, forgery, assassination, the bombing of civilians — which does not change its moral colour when it is committed by ‘our’ side.
    George Orwell
