What is happening with third-country removals/deportations?

The current administration has entered into agreements with countries around the world, including El Salvador, Ghana, Eswatini, and South Sudan. Some of the deportees in the U.S. are being sent to these third-country destinations. On June 23, 2025, the Supreme Court just ruled in favor of the Trump Administration to continue with these expedited removals to these far-away countries, regardless of whether it denies due process for deportees. 

The administration is working to secure more agreements with other countries, especially in Africa, to accept deportees who are not citizens of those countries. Currently, Uganda’s government has agreed to receive deportees from the U.S.; however, they said that they prefer these to be from African origin.
