ICE deports Afghans and others to Africa, expanding "third country" deportations
ICE flights removed people from Afghanistan, Cuba and other nations to African countries as the administration widened third-country deportations.
- Over a 10-day period, the Trump administration sent more than 100 deportees from Afghanistan, Cuba, and Nicaragua to eight countries across Africa via three Immigration and Customs Enforcement flights, expanding its "third country" deportation campaign.
- On Sunday, the Department of Homeland Security told CBS News it is legally required to find a "safe and secure nation" for deportees refusing to return home, while offering $3,000 checks to those who choose repatriation.
- Khalil, a 24-year-old Afghan deportee granted "withholding of removal" by an immigration judge, was relocated to the Central African Republic; his lawyer, Alma David, warned the actions threaten the global refugee protection system.
- Marine Colonel Zachary Schmidt, who supervised Khalil's brother in Afghanistan, expressed safety concerns about the Central African Republic, which carries a "Level 4" State Department advisory. "It is my belief that if Khalil gets sent back to Afghanistan, that he will be killed," Schmidt told CBS News.
- More than 30 countries have agreed to accept these deportations, including nations plagued by armed conflict and political instability, while the international agreements remain largely shrouded in secrecy.
