US deports 25,000+ to third countries via secret agreements

The US Office of Remigration, established in May 2025, has deported over 25,000 individuals to third countries under secret bilateral agreements, with a $410 million budget. The scale and secrecy of these arrangements signal a significant expansion of US migration enforcement beyond traditional bilateral returns, raising legal and diplomatic questions. The full list of partner countries and the terms of these agreements remain undisclosed, limiting independent verification.
