Stephen Miller pressed State Department officials as third-country removals stalled, with about 15,000 migrants sent abroad and most routed to Mexico, officials said.
- On a recent April morning, Stephen Miller questioned why countries were not accepting more deportees from the United States, as the administration struggles to implement its aggressive third-country removal strategy.

- While the United States has deported more than 13,000 non-Mexican nationals to Mexico, countries like Eswatini and Guatemala have accepted only a handful of migrants, with many efforts facing legal challenges.
- White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson stated implementing these policies remains a 'top priority,' even as the program accounts for only a tiny fraction of the administration's total deportation goals.
