In Finland there's curerntly an investigation going on whether or not it would be legal to deport someone to America in light of the new laws.
The Finnish government isn't allowed to deport anyone to a place where there might be human rights abuses- And USA has clearly declared that they will violate human rights if they feel like it.
This could also have ramifications in custody disputes where one of the parents lives in the US.
This is actually happening, and the government is in a legal picklement. What should be from our side?

Wrong- The Constitution prevents us from deporting to countries where the deportees could be subject to human rights abuses.
This would include actual terrorists also.

Did I mention I am a Finn? Of course, USA can't do, well, shouldn't, do anything about it, but what are suggestions on how to clear up this issue?

Thanks for all the "feedback" but no one has actually said anything of value, and have gotten their 2 points undeservedly. Shame on you. Perhaps I'll repost this in the ethics and legal forum, where it should've been in the first place.
