US Expels 23,000 Migrants to Third Countries Under Deals, UN Experts Report

UN experts report that at least 23,000 migrants have been expelled from the US to third countries under agreements with nine nations, including Costa Rica, Mexico, and Panama. The practice, which shifts migration burdens to partner states, raises legal and humanitarian concerns. The scale and conditions of these expulsions remain partially unverified, but the development signals a continued US policy of externalizing migration control.
