According to a report from The New York Times, the Trump administration has expanded its third-country deportation program to achieve two key goals: removing migrants whose home countries won’t accept them and deterring others from remaining in the U.S. through fear of harsh treatment abroad.
The report describes the approach as both tactical and strategic. For countries like Venezuela, which only sporadically accepts deportees, sending migrants to third-party nations helps bypass diplomatic gridlock. At the same time, routing deportees to countries with severe detention conditions aims to encourage “self-deportation” among immigrants, including some with legal status.
The administration’s strategy applies to a broad group of individuals it considers “undesirable,” not just undocumented immigrants.
Critics say the program may violate human rights protections, while officials argue it’s a necessary deterrent amid growing migration pressures. The report comes as deportation flights to places like El Salvador’s megaprison continue under controversial executive powers, including the Alien Enemies Act.
