Deportation by Default: A Glimpse into the Human Cost of "Third Country" Agreements The recent arrival of 20 deportees in Liberia, including migrants from Latin America, has brought attention to a growing trend in U. S.
immigration policy: the use of "third country" agreements as a means of circumventing international law and dumping unwanted deportees on countries with dubious human rights records.
This development is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to outsource its deportation problems to nations willing to accept migrants without first considering their individual circumstances or the safety of those countries.
