Guardian Briefing Examines Trump Administration's Third-Country Deportation Deals

The Trump administration has deported more than 25,000 people to countries other than their own since returning to office in 2025, under roughly 35 agreements with other nations, according to The Guardian's morning briefing.

A US federal appeals court ruled the third-country removals policy unlawful, finding it violated due process, though the government has 90 days to appeal and is expected to do so, The Guardian reported.

The briefing separately noted that a Latvian security official said there were signs Moscow was preparing for possible action in Europe, though he said it was unclear whether this reflected concrete plans or a broader effort to spread uncertainty.
