Trump's Deportee Deals
A *New York Times* investigation found that the Trump administration paid money and offered foreign governments foreign-policy benefits—including governments of poor countries with poor human-rights records—in exchange for accepting migrants who could not be deported directly to their home countries. In many cases, those countries forcibly returned the migrants to their homelands despite U.S. court orders protecting them from torture or persecution. The investigation identified more than 110 people who were subjected to this, while deportees reported being threatened or pressured to leave. The administration says it is carrying out deportation orders and is not responsible for what happens to migrants after they leave the United States. Lawyers and human-rights groups warn, however, that the program circumvents court rulings and violates international law.
