Investigation Maps Scale of US Deportations to Third Countries

Since January 2025, the United States has deported more than 25,000 people to so-called third countries — nations other than their own — according to an investigation by France 24 and Forbidden Stories.

Working with a team of 26 international media outlets, the investigation drew on information from non-governmental organizations and open sources to count and map the deportations, France 24 reported.

The outlet said the findings illustrate the scale of a deportation campaign it described as carried out with limited public visibility.
