The Trump administration has significantly expanded the use of third-country deportations, meaning the removal of a person to a country other than their country of origin.
✅ On September 23, 2026, Department of Homeland Security General Counsel James Percival said DHS has now deported approximately 25,000 people to third countries.
✅ An international investigation reported that the United States has reached agreements with approximately 35 countries to accept third-country deportees.
✅ According to data compiled by the investigation, at least 25,447 people had been deported to third countries by August 31, 2026, with approximately 20,000 sent to Mexico and thousands of others sent to countries across Africa, Latin America and the Pacific.
✅ Some of the people subjected to third-country removal have no citizenship, family, or significant ties to the countries receiving them.
✅ Others had previously obtained protection from being returned to their home countries because of a risk of persecution or torture.
