The Trump administration has pursued an aggressive strategy to increase deportations by negotiating agreements with foreign governments, allowing asylum seekers to be sent to third countries rather than the U.S. for processing. These arrangements, now numbering over three dozen, aim to redirect migrants arriving at the southern border, raising concerns over humanitarian and legal implications. Critics argue the policy shifts the burden of handling asylum claims onto other nations, while supporters claim it strengthens border security. The expansion reflects broader efforts to reshape immigration enforcement under the current administration.
The Trump administration has sought to expand third-country deportations, with more than 30 deals struck so far.
