US EditionUS spent $40 million on roughly 300 deportations to third nations, Democratic report finds
The Trump administration paid $40 million to deport 300 migrants to third countries, with over 80% later returned or in the process of returning, the Senate report found.
- On Friday, the Democratic staff of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee found the Trump administration spent at least $40 million to deport roughly 300 migrants to third countries.
- The Senate Foreign Relations Committee Democrats say the practice has broadened over the last year from a rare tool into a sprawling, poorly monitored system, with the Trump administration expanding and institutionalizing it.
- The report details costly lump‑sum payments to five governments, including a $7.5 million Rwanda payment for fewer than ten nationals, and $4.76 million to El Salvador for about 250 deportees.
- A federal judge on Thursday ordered the administration to allow Venezuelan deportees to El Salvador to challenge their removal, as the report says more than eighty percent of migrants sent to third countries have already returned or are returning, and rights groups call for oversight.
- The report describes money and political leverage used to secure deals, including 15 concluded agreements and 10 at or near conclusion, with threats of tariffs and aid cuts, as the administration seeks to expand deportations.
